Senior Backend Developer, Data platform
Description
Datarails is growing, and we're looking for a brilliant, independent Back End Developer to join our R&D team!
Datarails is a SaaS B2B solution that tackles one of the biggest challenges in financial departments: the overflowing amount of data that, up until now, was managed by tons of Excel sheets. All those financial reports, forecasts, expenses, analytics? Datarails takes all this data and integrates it into a one, simple, smart report. It consolidates the information, enables the finance professionals to follow it, manage it, and create the ever-needed order within the realm of finances. If this isn't enough, it enables thorough analysis of consolidated data for the creation of business and financial insights. It’s cloud-based, so nothing gets lost, it’s brilliant, so almost every feature can be added.
We are seeking a Senior Backend Developer to play a key role in shaping and enhancing the Datarails data platform. This role involves maintaining and developing robust, end-to-end data pipelines within our cutting-edge infrastructure.
As a leader, you will guide a team of data engineers to design, build, and optimize the data platform using modern tools and technologies, like Apache Airflow, Python, Spark, and other components of the modern data stack. You will ensure the platform meets high technical standards, delivering exceptional performance and scalability.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement end-to-end features and services within a multi-service architecture.
- Build and maintain a scalable data platform, incorporating advanced business logic and developing asynchronous, data-oriented, and scalable services.
- Continuously improve and enhance the current data platform to ensure reliability, scalability, and performance.
- Enhance and extend the functionality of existing systems.
Requirements
- 3+ years as a Data Engineer or Backend Developer.
- Proficient in Python; advanced skills are a plus.
- Experience designing scalable data platforms, preferably in SaaS.
- Expertise in building, optimizing, and maintaining large-scale production systems.
- Hands-on with ETL/ELT pipelines, focusing on monitoring, supportability, and resource efficiency.
- Strong knowledge of orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, Dagster).
- Clear communication of technical processes to non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven ability to design scalable, cloud-based systems in SaaS environments.
What We Offer
- We offer a supportive, agile, creative work environment with brilliant colleagues!
- Competitive compensation, ongoing recognition, and a chance to learn, contribute, and develop your skills.
- Opportunity to join an explosive industry, a successful and growing organization, and an unmatched leadership team passionate about their employees!
