  • Define and maintain data contracts with Optim-core, ensuring the availability and quality of analytical data required for rule compliance.
  • Build reusable and scalable onboarding processes to support the expansion into new countries and business segments.
  • Develop and maintain data transformation workflows using Python, SQL, dbt, and PostgreSQL.
  • Contribute to data architecture decisions, pipeline reliability, and engineering best practices.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure data solutions meet business and technical requirements.

Requirements for this challenge

  • Strong experience in software engineering, with a focus on data engineering or data-intensive applications.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL.
  • Hands-on experience with dbt and building and maintaining data transformation pipelines.
  • Experience working with DuckDB and PostgreSQL, including data migration and query optimization.
  • Experience with Azure cloud environments.
  • Understanding of data modeling, data quality, versioning, and data contracts.
  • Ability to design reusable solutions that support scalability and maintainability.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate business needs into reliable technical solutions.

Nice to Have

  • Experience migrating data workflows from interim tools to production-ready architectures.
  • Familiarity with data governance, lineage, and data quality practices.
