You will play a key role in transforming raw project data into reliable, high-quality datasets through robust ETL processes, modern data architectures, and Python-based engineering practices.

Working closely with business and technical stakeholders, you will ensure that data is accessible, trustworthy, and aligned with analytical requirements while contributing to the continuous improvement of our data platform and cloud-based ecosystem.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable and reliable data solutions.

• Maintain technical documentation and promote data engineering best practices.

We are looking for someone with:

• 3-5 years of experience in Data Engineering, with strong Python skills and experience building production-grade ETL pipelines.

• Strong SQL expertise and solid understanding of relational and analytical databases, data modeling, and data warehousing concepts.

• Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) and implementing automated testing for data pipelines.

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (preferably Azure) and Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform is a strong plus).

• Familiarity with AI tools (Claude is a plus).
