Senior Cloud Data Engineer

Kraków, Poland; Warsaw, Poland

TransferGo is a growing fintech scale-up on a mission to champion financial freedom with care. We strive to provide tailored, more affordable financial services that make people's hard-earned money go further. Now in our 14th year, with close to 400 employees in offices across Europe and the UK, we’re crafting a brilliant, relevant product that makes a difference in people's lives and the well-being of their families. 

We’ve come this far by building a talented, diverse workforce on a fair culture and our strong values. Having this strong team of employees, we can serve those who really need our product to make their lives better. 

Your team & impact

Join us on our journey as a Senior Cloud Data Engineer to play a pivotal role in shaping how money is sent worldwide. The Data team owns TransferGo's data platform end to end — ingestion, transformation, orchestration, the Redshift warehouse, and the standards and tooling (including AI-ready data) that let business domains build trusted, self-service data products.

A greenfield data function built from the ground up in a ~300-person fintech going AI-native. Modern AWS stack, dbt Core + Airflow, real ownership of infrastructure you provision yourself, and direct influence on platform standards 

 

Here’s what you’ll be doing as Senior Cloud Data Engineer:

  • Build and operate production data pipelines end to end — ingestion, transformation, orchestration, monitoring.
  • Develop and maintain dbt models with tests, documentation 
  • Author, schedule and debug Airflow DAGs.
  • Provision and own AWS infrastructure as code (CDK / CloudFormation / Terraform).
  • Support the AI-ready data agent and MCP/Redshift access work.
  • Own data quality, observability and CI/CD (GitHub Actions) for owned pipelines.
  • Take a requirement from a stakeholder and be the person who fixes it when it breaks.

You’ll report to our Head of Data.

 

Here’s what we’d love from our new Senior Cloud Data Engineer:

We don’t expect you to meet every single requirement listed. What matters most is your motivation, mindset, and ability to learn. If you’re excited about this role and think you could be a great fit, we’d really like to hear from you.

  • 3+ years building and operating production data pipelines.
  • dbt in production: models, tests, documentation, multiple environments.
  • Strong Python for production data engineering.
  • Advanced SQL and analytical data modelling.
  • Hands-on AWS: Redshift, S3, Lambda, IAM, Glue, Kinesis, ECS, ECR.
  • Production experience with an OLAP/MPP warehouse (Redshift preferred).
  • Infrastructure as code — AWS CDK, CloudFormation or Terraform; provisions and owns own infrastructure.
  • Airflow: authoring, scheduling and debugging DAGs end to end.
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions.
  • End-to-end ownership: from clarifying the requirement with stakeholders, through design, build, deployment and monitoring, to being the person who fixes it when it breaks.
  • High autonomy — decomposes ambiguous problems into deliverables without waiting for a detailed spec.
  • Fluent English
  • Tech Stack: dbt, Python, SQL, AWS (Redshift, S3, Lambda, IAM, Glue, Kinesis, ECS, ECR), IaC (CDK/CloudFormation/Terraform), Airflow, GitHub Actions.

 

And if you can also do this stuff, even better: 

  • streaming/CDC tooling data quality/observability tooling, data contracts.
  • Financial services — payments, remittances, banking or another regulated environment.
  • PII handling, access control and audit/lineage requirements.
  • AWS cost optimisation.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
