The role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and optimize modern, cloud-based data platforms that power analytics, AI, and data products. Beyond technical delivery, we want someone genuinely curious about the business problems behind the data, who applies common sense, detailed analysis, and experience-based recommendations to help shape business requirements, not just implement them as given.

You will work on scalable batch, streaming, and near-real-time pipelines, delivering high-quality curated datasets with robust governance, security, and observability. You will also support AI and GenAI systems, enabling pipelines for machine learning, causal modeling, and LLM-powered applications such as RAG and agent-based systems, and collaborate closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and platform teams.

Platforms

Our work is centered on AWS with Databricks , with growing demand on GCP , including cloud migration programs. Azure/Fabric experience is also valued. We are looking for engineers with deep expertise in one cloud who are T-shaped: comfortable working across clouds and keen to broaden their platform experience. You’ll be staffed on projects that fit your strongest platform, with opportunities to expand.

Responsibilities

Build & Data Platform Engineering

Design and implement scalable data platforms and pipelines, primarily on AWS and Databricks, and on GCP or Azure/Fabric where projects require.

Develop reliable batch, streaming, and near-real-time pipelines using Spark and Delta Lake.

Build ingestion, transformation, and curation workflows for structured and unstructured data.

Implement lakehouse patterns and medallion layering (bronze, silver, gold), ensuring reusable, scalable systems aligned with enterprise needs.

Contribute to cloud-to-cloud migrations, including re-platforming pipelines and data models.

Enable AI, GenAI & Data Products

Deliver model-ready, production-grade datasets for analytics, ML, causal modeling, and optimization.

Build data pipelines for GenAI use cases (LLMs, RAG, vector-based data flows) and agent-based architectures.

Leverage Databricks MLflow and Unity Catalog, or equivalent tooling on other platforms.

Requirements

·Ask the right questions to understand not just what stakeholders want, but why.

Benefits

·This is a position based in Portugal.
·Beyond a competitive compensation package, we offer:
·Flexibility, with remote and hybrid work options (country-dependent)
·Career advancement, with international mobility and professional development programs
·Learning and development, with access to cutting-edge tools, training and industry experts
