Senior Data Engineer

Hi there 👋

As Factorial continues scaling our mission of boosting the next generation of people-first SMB’s, we’re hiring a Senior Data Engineer to scale our Data Platform team.

The Team

Factorial’s mission is to empower business make better decisions, and data is a key component in achieving so.

Our Team is responsible of unlocking communication between the different areas despite the technological stack by offering a self service platform that allows fast data driven products.

We act under the data mesh principle and we’re not afraid to build whatever is necessary to fulfil our neighbour team’s needs.

Our data platform is already offering the following services:

• Ingestion (SaaS APIs - Airbyte, DDBBs - Debezium, Streams - Kafka Connect)
• Storage (Data Lake - Delta, Stream Storage- Kafka)
• Catalogue (Atlan)
• Modeling (Metabolic/DBT)
• Activation (Hightouch)
• Exploration & Visualization (Superset/PowerBI)
• On demand Data Products (TinyBird)

We’re looking for Data Engineers to enable product and engineering teams use these and future services, and assist them in making data products a first class citizen.

The Role

At Factorial, we have a team of +150 very talented developers. We are looking for engineers who can wear many hats, abstract problems, and find creative solutions. We look for smart people who are curious, proactive and have good soft/communication skills.

We are not looking for a long list of skills and technologies. Our web stack is Ruby on Rails for the backend and React/React-native for the clients, and we interact with Data through SQL on AWS, but it’s not mandatory to be proficient in those (most of the team came with other areas of expertise which is very enriching). We believe that someone who has good aptitudes and is hungry for learning is what works best.

If you’re looking for new challenges in a people-first company without depending on where you live, this is what to expect:

• You will evangelise the use of our Data Platform among technical users and empower the creation of Factorial's next Data Products.
• You will listen, identify and evaluate new requirements from Stakeholders (Engineering, Product, Management, Sales, Customer Experience, Marketing, Growth).
• You will iterate and improve existing features of our platform as well as develop new ones.
• You will occasionally assist Data Analysts with their technical challenges.
• You will occasionally contribute in managing the platform from a DataOps point of view.

• You are a learner: You want to improve your skills not only in the engineering field but across any other areas.
• You are an owner: You like proposing new hypotheses and be responsible for building, deploying and validating them.
• You love understanding: Breaking down complex problems into basic and shareable elements and you have evolved concrete implementations to abstractions before.
• You are a polyglot developer: You have experience in several coding languages, CI/CD tools and cloud technologies.
• You are a mentor: You love to share your experience and expertise to help others grow.
• You are comfortable communicating in English.
