Data Engineer

The role

We are looking for a Data Engineer to build and run the pipelines and data models behind our core data platform the centralized data layer that serves global energy traders and analysts in real time.

This is a hands-on delivery role. You will write the Python that moves market and fundamental data from source through to the analysts applications and AI systems that consume it and you will support what you ship.

Python is the core skill but it is not the whole job. We are standing up a Snowflake warehouse migrating legacy pipelines onto a Prefect-based framework and consolidating how the platform stores and exposes data. The work reaches across more of the stack than pipeline code alone.

The platform is polyglot by design: streaming caching timeseries relational and warehouse technologies each doing what they are good at. You will build to the established patterns across that stack and we expect you to understand why each technology sits where it does.

You will work alongside senior engineers who set those patterns and directly with the analysts and desk users your work serves. The scope grows as you do this is a role you can build a platform career from.

What You Will Do

• Build test and operate production data pipelines in Python on our modern pipeline framework orchestrated with Prefect
• Build and maintain warehouse models in Snowflake using dbt clean tested documented and cost-aware
• Migrate legacy pipelines and Oracle-based components onto current frameworks and standards retiring technical debt as you go
• Work across the platform stack Kafka Redis InfluxDB Oracle and Snowflake building to the established pattern for each rather than reaching for the tool you already know
• Acquire data from external sources vendor APIs files feeds and web sources and land it reliably
• Implement data quality freshness and reconciliation checks so problems surface before users find them
• Use AWS data services where our platform patterns call for them
• Support what you ship monitoring and alerting on your components and investigating when something breaks
• Contribute to making platform data AI-ready and work with the catalog and steward teams so what you build is documented classified and findable
• Engage directly with analysts and desk users to check that what you are building solves the actual problem

Qualifications :

• 3 years of hands-on data engineering experience building and operating production data pipelines
• Strong Python clean tested maintainable code not scripts that happen to run. Fluency with pandas and the wider data-handling ecosystem
• SQL depth you can model query and tune and you know what makes a query expensive before you run it
• Snowflake or a comparable cloud warehouse dimensional modeling performance tuning and cost-aware design. dbt experience is a strong plus
• Breadth across data technologies streaming caching timeseries relational and warehouse with a view on where each belongs. Kafka Redis InfluxDB Oracle and Snowflake are what we run; comparable exposure matters more than an exact match
• Pipeline orchestration experience Prefect preferred; Airflow Dagster or similar considered
• Sound engineering fundamentals object-oriented design design patterns testing code review and version control as habits rather than requirements
• Working knowledge of AWS data services and how to compose them into something reliable
• A build-to-operate mindset monitoring alerting and failure recovery are part of how you design not something added later
• Clear communication you can explain a technical trade-off to an analyst and turn a vague request into the right set of questions
• Terraform Docker or API development (FastAPI Flask) exposure is welcome we use all three
• Experience in financial services commodities or energy trading data is a plus; the data volume latency requirements and stakes are real

Additional Information :

What Success Looks Like in Year One

• You own several production data components outright and they run reliably with minimal intervention
• Warehouse models you built in Snowflake are in active use by analysts and downstream applications
• A meaningful share of the legacy pipelines you inherited have been migrated onto the current framework and standards
• Data quality and freshness checks you implemented are catching issues before users report them
• You build to the right platform pattern without being told which one applies and you say so when none of them fit
• Analysts on your projects come to you directly and trust what you deliver

Comprehensive benefit coverage includes:

• Medical
• Dental
• Vision
• Paid Vacation
• 401k with company contributions
• Life insurance
• Short-term & Long-term disability
