About the role

We’re looking for a Data Engineer who thrives on building reliable, automated, and scalable data systems in a fast‑paced eCommerce environment.

You’ll work with a modern data stack spanning data ingestion, orchestration, infrastructure, and cloud platforms — helping us design and maintain a high‑quality data foundation for analytics and reporting.

This is a hands‑on role with room to shape how data flows through the business. You’ll work autonomously, make technical decisions, and be trusted to implement best practices using modern tools and workflows.

What You’ll Do

• Design and maintain data pipelines that collect, transform, and deliver data across eCommerce sources and platforms.
• Use Infrastructure as Code to provision and manage reliable cloud environments.
• Schedule and orchestrate workflows to keep data pipelines efficient and monitored.
• Manage code versioning, automation, and deployment through modern CI / CD practices.
• Collaborate with analysts, engineers, and business teams to ensure data is accurate, accessible, and timely.
• Support data governance, documentation, and observability initiatives.
• Continuously evaluate and adopt new tools or practices to improve reliability and performance.
