We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and optimize our data infrastructure, ensuring scalable and reliable data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and analytics.
This role is a hybrid between Data Engineering —focused on building robust data pipelines, optimizing data models, and managing infrastructure—and Analytics Engineering, where you’ll shape business-ready datasets, support BI tools, and guide the organization’s data modeling strategy.
This role is ideal for candidates who thrive in a startup environment, are passionate about data architecture and analytics, and are eager to solve real-world sustainability challenges.
Key Responsibilities : Data Engineering
- Build and optimize scalable data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and storage.
- Work with structured and unstructured data, handling diverse file formats such as CSV, Excel, JSON, and PDFs.
- Extract, parse, and integrate emission factor databases (EFDBs) from external sources, ensuring they are structured for ingestion, efficient retrieval and analysis.
- Leverage on scheduler tools such as Apache Airflow, Dagster, or equivalent to manage and automate data workflows.
- Ensure data integrity, consistency, and governance while working with high-volume datasets.
- Develop and optimize queries in MongoDB and SQL for high-performance querying.
- Manage and deploy data infrastructure on cloud providers such as AWS.
- Consolidate data models written in Node.js and Python across different systems, ensuring a single source of truth for internal applications.
Analytics Engineering
- Design and implement robust data models to support analytics, business intelligence (BI), and data science.
- Advise on data modeling strategies to optimize performance, maintainability, and scalability.
- Enable BI reporting and self-service analytics by preparing analytics-ready datasets.
- Work with BI tools such as Tableau, GoodData, Power BI, Looker, Metabase, or equivalent to build visualizations and dashboards.
- Optimize query performance, materialized views, and aggregation strategies for efficient reporting.
- Collaborate closely with data scientists, Product, Implementations and Sales teams to provide actionable insights.
- Ensure that datasets are properly indexed and structured for fast and efficient access.
What We Are Looking For
- 5 to 8 years of experience in Data Engineering and/or Analytics Engineering roles.
- Strong knowledge of Python (including pandas library) and/or Node.js, SQL.
- Proven experience with SQL (PostgreSQL) and/or NoSQL databases (MongoDB or AWS DocumentDB), including indexing, partitioning, and query optimization.
- Experience with data modeling (designing database schemas, tables, entity-relationship diagrams, etc)
- Strong data structures and algorithms knowledge and understanding of time and space complexity.
- Experience working with scheduler tools like Apache Airflow, Dagster, or similar frameworks.
- Ability to parse and process unstructured data, including PDFs, Excel, and other file formats.
- Experience working with large-scale data systems and optimizing query performance.
- Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, for data storage, compute, databases and security.
- Possess knowledge in DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, GitOps, Kubernetes, CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, Argo CD).
- Passion or willingness to learn about sustainability and carbon emissions data.
Nice to Have
- Experience with other NoSQL and SQL databases beyond MongoDB.
- Hands-on experience with streaming data architectures such as Kafka.
- Exposure to distributed computing frameworks such as Spark.
- Knowledge and practical experience in AWS EC2, S3, Glue, IAM and CloudWatch.
- Experience in data security, governance, and compliance best practices.
- Background in carbon accounting methodologies or sustainability-related data processing.
- Experience working in a SaaS-product company and/or startups, and comfortable with change and ambiguity.
