Senior Data Engineer will design, build, and operate production-grade data pipelines and AWS-based data services for a sports-tech mobile platform. The role includes defining core data models, establishing a single source of truth for business and product metrics, and supporting scalable, cost-efficient data architecture. It is a remote position open to candidates worldwide and requires strong Python and SQL skills.
Responsibilities
- Define and implement core data models (users, events, performance)
- Design and operate robust, production-grade data pipelines
- Establish a single source of truth for key business and product metrics

- Make pragmatic decisions on how data is stored, processed, and accessed
- Evaluate and introduce tools (e.g. BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks) where they add clear value
- Ensure the architecture scales with product, AI, and data growth without overengineering
- Optimize pipelines for scalability, cost efficiency, and performance.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-structured Python code following software engineering best practices.
- Work closely with Product, Engineering, AI, and Business teams
