Data Engineer

Technical and Analytical Skills

- Strong data engineering fundamentals, incl but not limited to writing pipelines in dbt and Python and production-grade code on cloud platforms (GCP preferred), CI/CD, IaC, containerisation

• Hands-on experience with BigQuery and Databricks/PySpark (at least one is required, but preference will be given to those with both)

• Ability to review and improve processes by introducing new ways of e.g. coding, reviewing, testing through smart (not sloppy!) use of AI

• Basics in data visualisation (ideally Data Studio, PowerBI would be a big plus)

• Experience with data quality frameworks: defining rules, writing tests, investigating failures

• Knowledge of data structures: data models, databases, data warehousing, and how data flows across systems

• Experience with customer data in general (profile data, events such as purchases and interactions) is a strong plus

• Experience with classifications and unified profile data products is a strong plus

• Knowledge of data governance frameworks, metadata management, and data cataloguing best practices is a plus

• Communication and Interpersonal Skills

• Perseverance and proactive coping with uncertainty: we still have a lot to figure out and need someone excited about that rather than overwhelmed

• Collaboration: strong communication skills to work with Country Data Management Leads, Product Owners, Data Engineers, and Software Engineers

• Constructive problem-solving: ability to assess data issues, identify owners, and drive resolution through stakeholder collaboration

• Ability to translate business requirements into data products, data quality rules, and governance standards
