About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Consultant Data Engineer to join our engineering team and work on building large-scale, real-time data systems.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges, building scalable platforms, and operating in fast-paced product environments. The ideal candidate should be deeply hands-on, capable of driving technical decisions independently, and comfortable working across data, backend, and infrastructure layers.

This is not a traditional ETL or reporting-focused role. We are looking for strong engineering talent with deep ownership, debugging capabilities, and systems-level thinking.

What You'll Do

Design and build scalable, high-performance data platforms and pipelines
Work on distributed data systems across both batch and real-time processing
Take end-to-end ownership - from architecture and development to deployment and optimization
Debug, optimize, and extend open-source data systems
Solve infrastructure and systems-level problems, beyond just tool usage
Collaborate across teams and drive data engineering best practices

What We're Looking For

7+ years of experience in Data Engineering or Data Platform roles
Strong understanding of distributed systems, data storage, and compute layers
Ability to design systems from first principles, not just work with existing tools
Hands-on experience with open-source or self-managed architectures
Strong programming skills in Python or Go (Golang)
Experience with system design, performance tuning, and debugging at scale

Nice to Have

Backend engineering experience (APIs, services, and system design)
Experience with infrastructure management and deployments
Exposure to high-scale or real-time systems

Key Skills

Query & OLAP: Trino, ClickHouse, Apache Pinot
Batch & Stream Processing: Apache Spark (OSS), Apache Flink (OSS)
Table Format: Apache Iceberg
Cataloging: AWS Glue
Cloud: AWS
Languages: Go, Python
