What Does the team do
We are looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Data Engineering & AI team, a team that builds cutting edge automation
solutions that transform how data is ingested, processed, and used across the business. This is a software engineering
role at its core. We don’t just configure tools, we build them, from data ingestion layers to workflow automation
solutions. You will own solutions end-to-end: from understanding the business problem, through system design and
development, to deployment and ongoing reliability. The role also has an AI dimension, the team actively integrates AI
capabilities into the solutions it builds. If you enjoy building systems that solve real operational problems and want to
work at the edge of automation and applied AI, this role is for you. You will also be expected to mentor junior engineers,
helping them grow as developers and maintain high standards of engineering quality across the team.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of hands-on software development experience, with a strong track record of building and owning
applications or systems end-to-end.
• Strong Python development skills, beyond scripting, with experience building services, APIs, or applications with
proper structure and maintainability.
• Experience building workflow automation or BPM solutions, ideally using tools like Camunda, Temporal, Airflow, or
equivalent frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with data ingestion or integration development, building systems that reliably move and
process data across multiple sources (Apache NiFi experience is a plus).
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, webhooks, and system integration patterns.
• Solid grasp of software design principles: able to make architectural decisions, justify tradeoffs, and build for
maintainability and scale.
• Familiarity with AI/LLM APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic) and experience integrating them into production workflows
is a plus.
• Good SQL skills and comfort working with relational databases.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, methodical, ownership-driven, and able to diagnose issues across
complex systems.
• Clear communication skills: able to work with non-technical stakeholders and document technical work thoroughly.
Preferred Skills:
• Experience with Apache NiFi, Camunda, Airflow or similar data flow/ingestion platforms, specifically in a
development capacity (building custom processors, flows, or extensions).
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, including serverless functions, event driven architectures, or
managed workflow services.
• Experience with containerization and deployment using Docker or Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling for production systems.
• Experience working in a product or platform engineering team where you shipped and maintained software used
by internal business teams.
