Novicap is an end-to-end working capital solutions provider focused on enabling CFOs/Finance teams of SMEs to pay their suppliers and collect from their customers. This includes short-term credit (factoring, supply chain finance and loans) and payment automation solutions.
With offices in Barcelona and Madrid, we are looking for a Data Engineer with a strong product mindset to join our Data team. Your primary mission will be to design, build, and maintain production-grade data products that power our credit workflows — turning Data Scientist research and models into robust, scalable services that enable real-time decisions at the core of our business.
You will be the bridge between Data Science and Engineering. Your day-to-day will be grounded in building data products/services that directly enable credit and fraud decisions — not just moving data, but shaping it into services, models, and systems that internal users trust and rely on.
Work closely with the Data Science team to productionize Data Science solutions
Own the full ML lifecycle: feature engineering, training and retraining workflows, model versioning (MLflow), and live monitoring for drift and degradation.
Ensure deployed models meet the performance and latency standards required by automated credit decision workflows.
Design and deliver data services and products
Model and maintain database schemas for credit products: scoring results, decision logs, exposure tracking, repayment history — optimized for both operational and analytical access.
Own the data layer for new products (micro-credit, portfolio factoring, supply chain finance) from scratch: define the business logic, model the data,



and implement end-to-end pipelines.
Apply software engineering best practices: modular code, unit and integration tests, CI/CD pipelines, clear documentation.
Containerize and deploy services on AWS with Docker; orchestrate batch workflows (scoring runs, data refresh) with tools like Airflow.
Data Scientists: iterate rapidly on productionization — you are their engineering partner, not just a deployment step.
Software Engineers: integrate data services into the platform cleanly, with clear API contracts and stable interfaces.
Credit, Risk and Underwriting teams: translate operational needs into robust data product requirements.
How will you do it?
We always strive to exceed expectations, ensuring the highest levels of professionalism, and we aim to outperform, taking a data-driven approach.
You will report directly to the Head of Data and work closely with the rest of the Engineering team in Barcelona and the rest of Spain. End-to-end ML & data engineering — You have shipped Data Science solutions into production: feature pipelines, training and retraining workflows, model versioning, and live monitoring. Python & modern data frameworks — Clean, modular, testable Python is your default. Comfortable with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy,



Pydantic and similar libraries; Data services & APIs — Hands-on building internal REST APIs: request validation, async patterns, error handling, OpenAPI docs. You design stable contracts and think about versioning and performance from day one.
Data modeling & SQL — Strong database skills across operational and analytical workloads: schema design, indexing, partitioning, query optimization. Comfortable modeling finance-domain data — scoring outputs, decision logs, exposure and repayment history.
Cloud & infrastructure — Solid AWS cloud experience (S3, RDS, EC2, Lambda, IAM, others) deploying and operating APIs and batch workers. Comfortable containerizing workloads with Docker.
You drive work from problem definition to production with minimal guidance, and you measure quality in terms of credit decisions — not just technical correctness.
Full-time work with an open-ended contract
Hybrid work model: we work 3 days from the office and 2 days from home to improve work-life balance
Adaptable benefits with Coverflex: you will be able to include in your paycheck the monthly expenses for food, transportation, daycare and others
Medical insurance: we offer an optional health insurance through Sanitas, with competitive rates and Novicap subsidizes 30% to guarantee your wellbeing
Communicate better with your colleagues by signing up for free English or Spanish classes if you need them
If you can't find anything, let us know and we'll add it to the library.
Free fruit, coffee and tea in the office. We know it's customary, but we like to take care of you anyway.
