Senior Data Engineer

Your Mission at Yotpo As a Senior Data Engineer, your mission is to build the scalable, reliable data foundation that empowers Yotpo to make data-driven decisions. You will serve as a bridge between complex business needs and technical implementation, translating raw data into high-value assets. You will own the entire data lifecycle—from ingestion to insight—ensuring that our analytics infrastructure scales as fast as our business.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Data Modeling: Translate complex business requirements into efficient, scalable data models and schemas. You will design the logic that turns raw events into actionable business intelligence.
• Pipeline Architecture: Design, implement, and maintain resilient data pipelines that serve multiple business domains. You will ensure data flows reliably, securely, and with low latency across our ecosystem.
• End-to-End Ownership: Own the data development lifecycle completely—from architectural design and testing to deployment, maintenance, and observability.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner closely with Data Analysts, Data Scientists, and Software Engineers to deliver end-to-end data solutions.

What You Bring

• Your Mindset:
• Data as a Product: You treat data pipelines and tables with the same rigor as production APIs—reliability, versioning, and uptime matter to you.
• Business Acumen: You don't just move data; you understand the business questions behind the query and design solutions that provide answers.
• Builder's Spirit: You work independently to balance functional needs with non-functional requirements (scale, cost, performance).
• Your Experience & Qualifications:
• Must Haves:
• 6+ years of experience as a Data Engineer, BI Developer, or similar role.
• Modern Data Stack: Strong hands-on experience with DBT, Snowflake, Databricks, and orchestration tools like Airflow.

• Data Modeling: Proven experience in data modeling and business logic design for complex domains—building models that are efficient and maintainable.
• Modern Workflow: Proven experience leveraging AI assistants to accelerate data engineering tasks.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, Mathematics, or an equivalent analytical discipline.

• Cloud Data Warehouses: Experience with BigQuery or Redshift.
• Coding Skills: Proficiency in Python for data processing and automation.
• Big Data Tech: Familiarity with Spark, Kubernetes, Docker.
• BI Integration: Experience serving data to BI tools such as Looker, Tableau, or Superset.
