Описание вакансии

Purpose of position

Data sits at the heart of the company. This role will work closely with the Finance Data & Process squad, supporting the development of financial data pipelines and datasets that enable accounting processes, ERP integrations, and operational finance reporting. This includes translating finance and accounting requirements into robust, auditable, and scalable data solutions

As a Data Engineer, your role focuses on designing, building, and optimizing data pipelines, curated datasets, and analytical data models within Azure, AWS, and Databricks environments. The position involves working with largescale datasets, improving performance and reliability, and translating business logic into well-structured tables, metrics, and transformation rules.

Key Responsibilities

Data Engineering & Pipelines

• Build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines using Databricks, PySpark, Spark SQL, and Delta Lake.
• Develop production ready notebooks, workflows, and data lake integrations.
• Apply best practices for Spark optimization (partitioning, caching, avoiding shuffle, file compaction).
• Support the development of finance-specific data pipelines, including datasets used for financial bookings, reconciliations, and ERP integrations.

Dataset Modeling & Business Logic

• Design curated datasets, semantic layers, and data marts that power analytics and reporting.
• Partner with business stakeholders to understand requirements, operational challenges and decision-making needs, ensuring alignment between business expectations and technical constraints.
• Convert business requirements into data models, defining tables, metrics, KPIs, and transformation rules.
• Work closely with product owners and analysts to align datasets with business processes.
• Support the structuring of datasets used in financial processes (e.g. revenue, costs, working capital, reconciliations).
• Document data models, lineage, logic, and dataset behavior clearly and consistently, with particular attention to traceability and auditability of financial data.

Performance, Monitoring & Reliability

• Work with very large datasets, optimizing transformations and storage for scale and cost.
• Tune and maintain MSSQL databases (indexes, running processes, performance diagnostics).
• Implement robust data validation, schema enforcement, and quality checks across pipelines.

Teamwork & Delivery

• Collaborate with engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable data solutions.
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical audiences.

Qualifications

Required

• Hands‑on experience with Databricks (PySpark, Spark SQL, Delta Lake, Lakebase), PostgresSQL.
• Background working with large, distributed datasets.
• Proficiency in Python, PySpark and SQL.
