Staff Data Platform Engineer

TLDR

Build and evolve a cutting-edge data platform using AWS, while driving a data-first culture that powers business insights across the company.

Location Qualifications: Bucharest (hybrid, 2x week in office)

 

Position Overview:

Ready to build the future of data at scale? We’re looking for a passionate Data Platform 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 chance 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:

  • You’ve built and run scalable data platforms in the cloud (AWS preferred).
  • You know the difference between “good enough” and “engineering excellence.”

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.

 

What We’re Looking For:

  • Cloud & Data Services: AWS (S3, Glue, Lake Formation, Lambda, Redshift, Step Functions, IAM, VPC)
  • IaC Mastery: AWS CDK (bonus if you’re fluent in TypeScript!)
  • Coding Power: Strong in TypeScript and/or Python
  • 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

 

Bonus Points

  • Strong SQL skills
  • Hands-on experience with DBT
  • Familiar with data catalogs or governance tools
  • Experience with streaming technologies (Kafka, Kinesis, Spark Streaming)
