Data Engineer

Join a team of highly technically skilled engineers who are designing Creditsafe’s new Consumer Bureau with data quality, lineage, and auditability as primary goals whilst maintaining high throughput and scalability. The data platform will be built using AWS infrastructure such as S3 and S3-tables(Iceberg), Aurora Serverless, DynamoDB, Lambda, Fargate, ECS, Airflow, Spark and Kinesis. The platform is expected to manage over one hundred million objects with a high volume of daily updates handling addition, deletion, and correction of our data and indexes in an auditable manner. The platform will employ a sophisticated matching algorithm to enable us to assign incoming updates to existing objects. Our data processing application is entirely based on Python and designed to efficiently transform incoming raw data volume into API consumable schema. The team is also building highly available and low latency APIs to enable our clients with faster data delivery.
