Our partner is looking for a Senior Data Engineer based in Spain. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will take ownership of the data platform, shaping its architecture and ensuring reliable performance from development through production. You will build scalable pipelines that transform high volumes of data from APIs, webhooks, files, and web scraping into trusted, product-ready information. You will establish robust data quality standards, resilient recovery mechanisms, and transparent data lineage to ensure accuracy and consistency at scale. Working with technologies such as Python, PostgreSQL, dbt, and Google Cloud Platform, you will integrate external data sources and AI-powered extraction capabilities. This fully remote opportunity offers broad technical ownership, the freedom to shape foundational data infrastructure, and the chance to make a direct impact in a collaborative, fast-moving engineering environment. Own Data Platform Architecture: Design, build, and operate a production-grade data platform from initial architecture through deployment, optimization, and ongoing maintenance. Develop concurrent ingestion systems for provider APIs, webhooks, files, and web scraping, incorporating rate limiting, error handling, and reliable processing at scale. Implement scheduled pipelines, historical backfills, and dependency management using orchestration tools such as Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect. Build event-driven processing with messaging and task queue services, including Pub/Sub or Cloud Tasks. Implement retries, dead-letter queues, controlled replay mechanisms, and idempotent upserts to recover from failures without generating duplicate records or corrupting data. Establish Raw-to-Curated Data Architecture: Preserve original source payloads, including provider JSON, in Google Cloud Storage (GCS),
then transform and standardize data using dbt. Maintain clearly defined raw, standardized, and curated data layers. Strengthen Data Quality and Governance: Define data contracts, automated validation rules, pipeline tests, retention policies, and monitoring systems to track data freshness, processing failures, and overall reliability. Optimize Database Performance: Design and maintain PostgreSQL schemas, queries, and incremental loading strategies to ensure efficient processing and dependable data delivery to downstream products. Integrate Enrichment and AI Extraction: Incorporate third-party enrichment providers and large language model (LLM)-based structured extraction from text into the data platform. Ensure Data Traceability: Maintain clear lineage between source data and curated records, enabling safe reprocessing, historical recovery, auditing, and consistent data management. End-to-End Data Engineering
Experience:
Proven experience building production data platforms from the ground up, including architecture, pipeline implementation, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing operations. Hands-on production experience with Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, or Temporal, including workflow dependencies, retries, scheduling, and failure recovery. Airflow experience is preferred. Google Cloud and dbt: Practical production experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and dbt, including data transformation, pipeline management,
and cloud-based data infrastructure. Python Programming: Strong Python skills, particularly asynchronous requests and concurrent processing using libraries such as asyncio, aio or SQL and PostgreSQL: Advanced SQL knowledge and practical PostgreSQL experience, including data modeling, query optimization, incremental loading, and performance tuning. Data Quality and Modeling: Experience designing data contracts, raw and curated storage layers, retention policies, automated validation, and data quality monitoring. Web Scraping Expertise: Hands-on experience building and maintaining production scraping pipelines using tools such as Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium, or Beautiful Soup, including concurrency management, rate limiting, and failure handling. Ability to make sound technical decisions, manage complex projects, and take responsibility for data infrastructure across the full development lifecycle. LLM-Based Data Processing: Experience using large language models for structured data extraction, company enrichment, or people data enrichment is an advantage. Additional Data Technologies: Familiarity with BigQuery and Dataform is a plus. Communication
Skills:
Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly, collaborate effectively with distributed teams, and work comfortably in an English-speaking professional environment. Fully remote work: Work remotely from eligible locations across Europe and Latin America, with flexibility to organize your working environment. Lead the architecture and evolution of a data platform, with meaningful influence over technical decisions and engineering practices. Work with Python, PostgreSQL, GCP, dbt, event-driven systems, workflow orchestration, web scraping, and AI-po
