Senior Data Platform & Cloud Engineer

Location Qualifications: Bucharest (hybrid, 2xweek in office)

 

Position Overview:

Ready to build the future of data at scale? We’re looking for a passionate Senior Data Platform & Cloud Engineer to join our high-impact, fast-moving Data Platform team—part of a dynamic and innovative Data organization that’s reshaping how we make decisions. This is your opportunity to build and evolve a cloud-native, cutting-edge data platform that powers business insights and drives a data-first culture across the company.

💡 What You’ll Be Doing:

- Build for Scale: Architect and engineer robust, cost-efficient, and high-performing data infrastructure on AWS.

- Streamline Data Flow: Design and optimize powerful ETL/ELT pipelines that connect systems and fuel smarter decision-making.

- Automate Everything: Use Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK) to automate provisioning and manage platform resources seamlessly.

- Stay Ahead of the Curve: Set up top-tier monitoring, alerting, and logging. Spot issues before they become problems—and solve them fast.

- Think Big: Help shape our tech strategy and bring new ideas to life. You’re not just building systems—you’re building the future.

- Be the Guardian of Data: Champion best practices in data governance, security (GDPR, CCPA), and quality.

- Document Like a Pro: Create clear, comprehensive platform documentation that your teammates will actually want to read.

- Lead & Collaborate: Take the technical lead on initiatives. Work hand-in-hand with Data Science, Analytics, and Engineering teams.

- Mentor & Grow: Share your knowledge, code wisdom, and best practices with the team. Raise the bar—and help others reach it.

 

👀 What We’re Looking For

Experience That Stands Out:

• Cloud & Data Services: AWS (S3, Glue, Lake Formation, Lambda, Redshift, Step Functions, IAM, VPC)

• Data Lake Know-How: Medallion/zoned architectures, Parquet, Delta Lake, schema evolution—you get it
• DevOps/Software Craft: Git, CI/CD, testing, and agile engineering practices
• Containers: Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, or Fargate

Mindset That Moves Us:

• Problem Solver: Analytical, curious, and eager to tackle challenges head-on.
• Great Communicator: Can explain complex ideas in simple terms—both to engineers and to non-tech folks.
• Team Player: You collaborate, share, and lift others up.
• Self-Starter: You take initiative, own your work, and drive things to the finish line.

• Strong SQL skills
• Hands-on experience with DBT
• Familiar with data catalogs or governance tools
