## About the Role

* 5+ years of experience in a Data Engineer role, with a proven track record in designing scalable and reliable data architecture.
 * Strong opinion on what good user- and developer experience looks like in your area, and a desire to constantly improve the tools that you use.
 * Experience using AI tools like Claude Code as the default way you write, review and maintain systems.
 * Expertise with data pipeline tools, cloud services, and Snowflake ecosystem.
 * Proven expertise in modeling data using advanced SQL.
 * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.

Among your personal traits, the following would be helpful in the role:

 * You are a team player, and you enjoy learning and improving the team around you and yourself.
 * You have a strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, curiosity, and daring when venturing into unknown territory.
 * You have strong communication skills: you keep stakeholders up to date, you empathize with user problems, you can rally peers around a solution, and you are not afraid to push for a decision when consensus is hard to reach.

## Description

* Own the pipelines that feed the Xeneta platform with data, and decide what gets rebuilt, evolved or retired.
 * Redesign our data models in Snowflake and dbt so a data scientist or engineer can go from an idea to shipped model in hours, not days - without messing up the critical data in production.
 * Make our data usable by AI agents: clean semantics, documented lineage, and metadata that Claude Code and other AI tools can read and act on reliably.
 * Educate the tech and data teams as well as the wider organisation on using data with AI tools.
 * Set the governance rules for how data is defined, owned and accessed, and build them into the stack instead of writing them into a policy.
 * Automate the repetitive work: access provisioning and approvals, onboarding new data sources, adding data quality checks, and keeping documentation and lineage current., * You will have trust, autonomy, impact as you will own the tools and processes that make a huge difference both inside the org and towards our customers, and we will enable you to make the right decisions instead of holding you back with committee approvals.
 * We have a transparent and open work environment where information is shared openly, everyone is expected to make an impact, and each person is expected to voice their ideas and give feedback directly.
 * You will receive an individual education budget and you can educate yourself during work hours: you can spend several hours each month attending courses, reading books, or getting involved in communities.
 * We provide flexible working hours as well as a generous vacation plan, so you can recharge properly and bring your absolute best to work.
 * If in Bucharest: We offer full-time position employed through GI Group, our staffing partner in Romania.
