Join us as a Data Engineer (Payments / Orchestration) on our mission to turn payments into possibilities !

Data Engineer (Payments / Orchestration)

You will own the foundation of our payments data platform , ensuring that transaction data is reliable, consistent, and production-grade from ingestion through consumption.

This role is responsible for building and maintaining high-quality data pipelines, enforcing data contracts, and ensuring event integrity across the system.

This is not a reporting role . You are responsible for making sure the data exists, is correct, and can be trusted at scale .

We are a high-velocity team. You are expected to leverage AI tools to accelerate development, analysis, and problem-solving .

How You Will Make an Impact:

• Build and maintain reliable data pipelines

  • Design and operate ETL / ELT pipelines that process high-volume transaction data
  • Ensure data is delivered accurately and on time across all downstream systems

• Ensure database performance and reliability

  • Manage and optimize databases for performance, scalability, and uptime
  • Prevent bottlenecks and ensure systems can handle production load

• Enforce data contracts and schema consistency

  • Define and enforce schemas across services and pipelines
  • Ensure event integrity and prevent breaking changes across systems

• Improve data reliability and observability

  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and logging across data systems
  • Detect and resolve data issues before they impact the business

• Enable event traceability and consistency

  • Ensure events can be traced end-to-end across systems
  • Support debugging and root cause analysis for data discrepancies

• Raise the bar on engineering velocity

  • Leverage AI tools like OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and Claude (or equivalent) to accelerate development and debugging
  • Improve speed of delivery without compromising reliability

Skills you will have fine-tuned:

• Designing and operating production-grade data pipelines

  • Building scalable ETL / ELT systems for high-throughput event data
  • Managing dependencies, failures, and recovery strategies

• Database performance and system reliability

  • Tuning databases for performance and cost efficiency
  • Designing systems that remain stable under load

• Schema design and data contract enforcement

  • Creating robust schemas that evolve safely over time
  • Preventing downstream breakages through strong contract discipline

• Data observability and incident response

  • Implementing monitoring systems that surface issues early
  • Debugging complex, distributed data failures

• Event-driven architecture and data consistency

  • Ensuring consistency across distributed systems
  • Building traceability into event flows for auditability and debugging

• AI-accelerated engineering workflows

  • Using AI tools to generate, review, and optimize pipeline code
  • Improving debugging speed and system understanding with AI assistance
  • Continuously refining how AI is used to increase output and code quality

• You appreciate working with managed services and serverless architecture

• You naturally pay attention to detail

• You are eager to bring your unique talents and authenticity to the CellPoint Digital community

• You're constantly curious and a lifelong learner

• You approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset
