## About the Role

Your trackrecord

 * Core Data Engineering Principles: Solid foundation in distributed systems, stream & batch processing, modern data orchestration (e.g., Dagster, Airflow), and schema modeling.
 * Cloud & AWS Ecosystem: Practical experience architecting data services on AWS. Strong working knowledge of services like Kinesis, DMS, Glue, and Lambda.
 * Modern Data Stack: Hands-on experience with modern cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake (Databricks, BigQuery, or ClickHouse experience is also welcome).
 * Software Engineering Mindset: Advanced SQL, production-level Python (or Scala), and clean code engineering practices (GitLab CI/CD, testing, containerization).
 * Infrastructure, Networking & Security: Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), foundational cloud networking concepts (VPC, subnets, routing), and robust security practices (IAM roles, RBAC, encryption at rest/in transit).
 * Engineering Ownership: You care about system resilience, dig deep to uncover root causes, keep an eye on operational costs, and enjoy sparring with DevOps and data peers to build dependable systems.

## Description

The Role: Scale & harden our data backbone
As our Data Platform Engineer, you will join our core data platform team working alongside your colleague Data Engineer, the DevOps team (4 engineers), and our Data Analyst.

We maintain a clear distinction between platform engineering and business analytics. While our Data Analysts drive business intelligence and reporting insights, your dedicated focus will be purely on the infrastructure, streaming pipelines, cost-efficiency, and data integrity that power our core platform.

What you will be working on:

 * Real-time DWH & Pipeline evolution: Transition our current architecture toward a robust, real-time data warehouse. Build and optimize streaming and batch ingestion pipelines with minimal production disruption.
 * Orchestration architecture: Implement and own orchestration tooling (such as Dagster or Airflow) to automate pipelines and enable self-service onboarding for other teams.
 * Data quality & validation controls: Establish automated validation checks, schema enforcement, and reconciliation mechanisms across pipeline stages to guarantee high-integrity payment data.
 * Monitoring, notifications & alerting: Build end-to-end observability across the data lifecycle, ensuring timely alerts and actionable metrics before anomalies hit downstream systems.
 * Cost control & resource optimization: Actively monitor, analyze, and optimize AWS and Snowflake usage to keep pipeline execution and storage lean and scalable.
 * Integration architecture: Implement scalable ingestion patterns, utilizing tools like AWS DMS, Glue, and Snowflake native connectors to streamline our data ingestion.
 * Infrastructure as Code & Security: Automate cloud resources using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines, enforcing strict IAM and RBAC policies aligned with industry standards and security best practices, If you've ever paid other users on platforms like Marktplaats, eBay-Kleinanzeigen, and Gumtree, or booked a holiday home via Nature.house or Micazu, chances are you've already met us. Our fintech platform powers marketplaces. Not just by arranging payments, it also allows marketplaces to accept, hold, and disburse funds for their users. That makes our solution a bit more sophisticated, yet ready to continue growing internationally.
