Senior Data Engineer (Python)

Salary Competitive

Are you our next workmate in Copenhagen?

To successfully fuel our data insights both internally and client-facing, we need the support of a talented Senior Data Engineer who has worked with or is interested in working with data transport and processing.

In this role, you’ll be working very hands-on. But you will also have the opportunity to define and impact your own work by actively contributing to our efforts in optimizing and improving our data architecture and business logic.

You will join a cross-functional team consisting of backend, frontend, QA engineers, and data analysts, while also being a cooperation partner to our Infrastructure team. 

You are perfect for this role if you are capable of developing and improving our data pipeline, but feel equally motivated by having a higher level of task variation - including ad-hoc and exploratory data tasks.


Overview of technology in our data pipeline:

  •   Storage: Snowflake, Druid, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, S3

  •   Messaging: AWS SQS, Kafka, Azure Service Bus

  •   Orchestration: Airflow, AWS Glue

  •   Languages: Python, Bash

  •   Deployment: Docker, Kubernetes


Responsibilities:

  •   Collaborate with product managers, designers, and researchers in your cross-functional team to discover new features and products, leveraging the billions of data points Linkfire is processing every month

  •   Setup and maintain your team’s technical infrastructure (e.g. data lakes, warehouses, and databases)

  •   Create production-ready, scalable data pipelines

  •   Architect, code, and test backend services to support machine learning training and inference at scale 


Required abilities and skills:

  • You have extensive experience in designing and building complex data processing systems.

  • You have significant development experience and interest in Python.

  • You have experience in creating a performant infrastructure for data collection, storage, processing, and exposure, especially including orchestrating and monitoring data pipelines, preferably with AWS.

  • You have experience working with Kafka, Airflow, and Snowflake.

  • You have experience using Docker and Kubernetes.

  • You can proficiently communicate technical concepts.
