Te kōwhiringa | The Opportunity
As a Data Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of our data operations, designing and developing smart data pipelines that handle large volumes of real-time and batch data. You’ll be working with AWS technologies like Kinesis, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, and Redshift, ensuring that data flows efficiently and is readily available for our data analytics platform.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys problem-solving, optimising data performance, and automating processes while working in a geographically distributed team. Your direct manager will be based in the United States, and your team members will be spread across India, Brazil. This means you’ll need to be independent, a self-starter, and comfortable working autonomously. Responses from team members may take time to arrive to you due to time zones and you enjoy being someone who isn’t afraid to work alone, navigate ambiguity, and push forward without immediate feedback.
