We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer with a Platform focus to take a leading role in the architecture and evolution of our internal Data Platform. You'll operate as a domain expert — designing scalable open-source platform infrastructure, defining standards adopted across the team, and mentoring engineers around you.

This is a senior individual contributor role with real technical influence: you'll produce Architecture Decision Records, drive reliability initiatives, and shape the platform roadmap. At the same time, you'll stay close to the data engineering craft — contributing to data pipeline design, governance standards, data quality practices, and the broader data infrastructure that analysts and scientists depend on every day.

This is a fully in-office role based in Kraków

Responsibilities

Platform Architecture & Infrastructure

  • Design scalable, resilient platform architectures using open-source technologies
  • Define IaC, Kubernetes, and Docker standards adopted across the platform team
  • Architect and deliver platform microservices with well-defined interfaces
  • Lead evaluation and adoption of open-source query engines and table formats
  • Define strategies for compute and storage
  • Design observability frameworks: metrics, tracing, and logging standards

Data Engineering & Governance

  • Contribute to the design and implementation of data lakes, data warehouses, and ETL/ELT pipelines
  • Develop and maintain standards for data modelling
  • Implement standards for optimizing data pipelines to ensure seamless data flow and processing
  • Define and uphold data quality and governance standards
  • Create standards for integrating and processing data from multiple sources, ensuring consistency and accuracy
  • Collaborate with the Data Team and with the cross-functional teams. Work effectively within a diverse, international team spread across Szwajcaria, Polska, Serbia, and China.

Leadership & Mentorship

  • Mentor junior and intermediate platform engineers, contributing to their technical growth
  • Conduct code and architecture reviews
  • Influence the platform roadmap with technically grounded proposals
  • Resolve technical conflicts constructively and facilitate cross-team collaboration

Requirements

  • A university degree, at least Masters in Computer Science or a related science, technology or engineering field.
  • 5+ years of relevant experience in data engineering or data platform engineering roles
  • Deep Kubernetes knowledge: cluster operations, networking, storage, security
  • Expert-level Docker: security hardening, image optimization
  • Deep expertise in open-source query engine internals — query planning, cost-based optimization, connector development
  • Expert knowledge of open file formats — internals, trade-offs, and operational characteristics
  • Advanced microservice design: API contracts, service mesh, circuit breaking
  • Expert knowledge of observability: distributed tracing, metrics pipelines, SLO frameworks
  • Expert-level in Python and SQL
  • Proficiency in RDBMS
  • Experience with data orchestration tools
  • Expertise in data partitioning, incremental scalability, data quality, and governance
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and manage your time effectively
  • Comfortable working in a diverse, international environment

Good to Have

  • Experience in academia
  • PhD in a relevant field
  • Experience in C++ / Rust
  • Advanced CI/CD
  • Advanced IaC expertise
  • Understanding of document and graph databases

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a dynamic and innovative team at the forefront of data technology
