We are seeking a talented and driven Full Stack Data Engineer to join our product team. In this role, you will build scalable, high-performance data pipelines and cloud infrastructure that power financial reporting, analytics, and strategic decision-making. You should have a strong technical background and demonstrate experience in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), data warehousing, batch and streaming pipeline development, infrastructure automation, and modern software engineering practices.

Responsibilities include the end-to-end design, development, deployment, optimization, and production support of finance data products—from ingestion and transformation through governance, quality monitoring, and delivery. Working in an Agile, customer-centric environment and in close partnership with analytics stakeholders, product managers, and cross-functional engineers, you will deliver secure, reliable, cost-effective, and high-performing data solutions at enterprise scale.

  • Pipeline Development & Ingestion: Design, build, and scale robust batch and streaming data pipelines on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to process large volumes of finance data.

  • Data Warehousing & Architecture: Develop exceptional analytical data products applying solid data warehouse principles, data modeling, and best practices.

  • Infrastructure & DevOps: Maintain and enhance the platform's infrastructure using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) and continuously develop, evaluate, and deploy code using CI/CD pipelines.

  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner closely with data analytics stakeholders to streamline and optimize data acquisition, processing, and presentation workflows.

  • Data Governance & Quality: Implement and promote enterprise data governance models focusing on data protection, sharing, reuse, standards, quality monitoring, and data lineage documentation.

  • Code Quality & Security: Write clean, reliable code using Test-Driven Development (TDD) in an agile environment, actively addressing security vulnerabilities and code quality issues using tools like SonarQube, Checkmarx, Fossa, and Cycode.

  • Optimization & Cost Management: Continuously optimize existing data solutions (pipelines, infrastructure, and products) to ensure high performance, security, reliability, low vulnerability, and cost efficiency.

  • Production Support: Monitor production pipelines and provide timely production support to resolve issues in accordance with established SLAs.

  • Continuous Improvement: Stay current on modern data engineering practices, contribute to the company's technical direction, and proactively build domain expertise in finance data.

  • Design, build, and scale robust batch and streaming data pipelines on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to process large volumes of finance data
