Staff Data Platform Engineer
Location Qualifications: Bucharest (hybrid, 2x week in office)
Position Overview:
Ready to build the future of data at scale? We’re looking for a passionate Data Platform Engineer to join our high-impact, fast-moving Data Platform team—part of a dynamic and innovative Data organization that’s reshaping how we make decisions.
This is your chance to build and evolve a cloud-native, cutting-edge data platform that powers business insights and drives a data-first culture across the company.
💡 What You’ll Be Doing
🔧 Build for Scale: Architect and engineer robust, cost-efficient, and high-performing data infrastructure on AWS.
⚡ Streamline Data Flow: Design and optimize powerful ETL/ELT pipelines that connect systems and fuel smarter decision-making.
🛠️ Automate Everything: Use Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK) to automate provisioning and manage platform resources seamlessly.
🚨 Stay Ahead of the Curve: Set up top-tier monitoring, alerting, and logging. Spot issues before they become problems—and solve them fast.
🧠 Think Big: Help shape our tech strategy and bring new ideas to life. You’re not just building systems—you’re building the future.
🔐 Be the Guardian of Data: Champion best practices in data governance, security (GDPR, CCPA), and quality.
📚 Document Like a Pro: Create clear, comprehensive platform documentation that your teammates will actually want to read.
🤝 Lead & Collaborate: Take the technical lead on initiatives. Work hand-in-hand with Data Science, Analytics, and Engineering teams.
🌱 Mentor & Grow: Share your knowledge, code wisdom, and best practices with the team. Raise the bar—and help others reach it.

Mindset That Moves Us:
- 🧩 Problem Solver: Analytical, curious, and eager to tackle challenges head-on.
- 💬 Great Communicator: Can explain complex ideas in simple terms—both to engineers and to non-tech folks.
- 🤝 Team Player: You collaborate, share, and lift others up.
- 🚀 Self-Starter: You take initiative, own your work, and drive things to the finish line.
What We’re Looking For:
- Cloud & Data Services: AWS (S3, Glue, Lake Formation, Lambda, Redshift, Step Functions, IAM, VPC)
- IaC Mastery: AWS CDK (bonus if you’re fluent in TypeScript!)
- Coding Power: Strong in TypeScript and/or Python
- Data Lake Know-How: Medallion/zoned architectures, Parquet, Delta Lake, schema evolution—you get it
- DevOps/Software Craft: Git, CI/CD, testing, and agile engineering practices
- Containers: Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, or Fargate
