We’re looking for a Lead Data Platform Engineer to join our internal team—bringing deep technical expertise and leadership to build, scale, and evolve our data infrastructure. In this role, you’ll architect cloud-native data platforms, lead the development of data pipelines and tooling, and guide a team of engineers in building robust, secure, and real-time data systems. You’ll work cross-functionally with product, analytics, and client delivery teams—driving best-in-class data engineering practices and enabling data products that fuel transformation. The Role: You’ll take technical ownership of Riverflex’s data engineering stack, leading hands-on development while setting standards and mentoring others. You’ll play a key role in designing scalable systems that unlock insights and power intelligent products.

  • Design and implement secure, scalable, and automated data pipelines
  • Collaborate with analytics, product, and engineering teams to translate business needs into data solutions
  • Own data platform reliability, performance, monitoring, and incident response
  • Implement and champion best practices in data modelling, governance, testing, and documentation
  • Mentor junior engineers and help shape a high-performing data engineering team
  • Evaluate and integrate new technologies to improve data stack performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency
  • Build reusable tooling, components, and internal frameworks for data pipeline development
  • Ensure compliance with data privacy, protection, and security regulations (e.g. GDPR)

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in data engineering or data infrastructure roles
  • Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and distributed data frameworks (e.g., Spark, Kafka, Airflow)
  • Proven experience building data platforms in a cloud-native environment (Azure preferred)
  • Deep understanding of data lakehouse architectures and modern data warehousing (e.g., Databricks)
  • Hands-on experience with DevOps practices for data (CI/CD, IaC, Terraform, Docker)
  • Strong understanding of data governance, privacy, and compliance frameworks
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, cross-functional Agile teams
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Nice to have

  • Experience leading technical teams or mentoring data engineers
  • Exposure to MLOps and enabling data pipelines for ML use cases
  • Familiarity with real-time data processing and event-driven architectures
  • Experience with dbt, Looker, or other modern data stack tools
  • Previous consulting or client-facing experience

What we offer

  • 25 days off per year plus closure between Christmas and New Year's
  • Flexible remote work from abroad options for up to 6 weeks per year
  • Learning & Development budget, including full access to Udemy courses
  • Classpass membership to support well-being
