At DATAPAO, data ignites passion, community fuels collaboration, and growth knows no bounds. We are a leading Data Engineering and AI consulting company backed by Databricks and recognized for our unmatched delivery standards and rapid growth. We have been named Databricks EMEA Emerging Business Partner of the Year (2024), achieved the Golden Tier status in the Databricks Partner Program, and made three consecutive appearances on the Financial Times FT1000 list. We are currently looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join us remotely in the UK as we plan to set up a hub in the UK in the following 6-12 months to enable our GTM strategy. You will work with our EMEA and US customers to help them solve their data engineering, ML, ML Ops, and cloud migration puzzles. "As a Data Engineer at DATAPAO, you will have the unique opportunity to push the boundaries of technology and lead the way in how data transforms the world. We work with customers who want to innovate and change their industries. So it never gets boring! Sorting out a complex technical puzzle, setting up a new data architecture from scratch, or guiding our customers through adopting the latest technologies is our routine here. Hence, we'd expect you to be more than just a (data) engineer. We'd expect you to breathe and live data, to thrive for knowledge and excellence, and to be keen to build something enduring and impactful for our customers. We'd expect you to be a (data) Paoneer!" (Máté Gulyás, CEO) What will you do? As a Senior Data Engineer, you are expected to deliver (across industries) on some of our most complex projects - individually or by leading small delivery teams. Although we work for the biggest multinational companies where years-long behemoth projects are the norm, our projects are fast-paced, typically 2 to 4 months long. Most are delivered using Apache Spark/Databricks on AWS/Azure and require you to directly manage the customer relationship alone or in collaboration with a Project Manager. Additionally, at this seniority level, we expect you to compound your impact across the team and the organization - by supporting our pre-sales process, mentoring more junior engineers, and contributing to hiring best-in-class data talent. What does it take to fit the bill? Technical Expertise * You (ideally) have 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering, with a focus on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP); * You have a proven track record working with Databricks (PySpark, SQL, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog); * You have extensive experience in ETL/ELT development and data pipeline orchestration (e.g., Databricks Workflows, DLT, Airflow, ADF, Glue, and Step Functions.); * You’re proficient in SQL and Python, using them to transform and optimize data like a pro; * You know your way around CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep); * You’ve hands-on experience integrating Databricks with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker). Consulting & Client-Facing Skills * Ideally, you bring a proven history in consulting, from scoping to gathering requirements, designing solutions, and communicating effectively with stakeholders. If you bring a product company background with you, that's also fine as long as you can show a good consulting mindset and desire to be customer-facing; * You’ve successfully delivered projects like Data Lakehouse buildouts and cloud data migrations; * You excel in explaining technical concepts to non-technical audiences and drive decision-making. Operational Readiness & Soft Skills * You’re (almost) ready to hit the ground running, immediately contributing to live client projects; * In a fast-paced consulting environment, where no two days are the same, flexibility and problem-solving comes naturally to you. Furthermore, resilience and thriving on challenges are essential traits in our industry; * Your communication skills are on point—whether you’re writing, speaking, or collaborating with stakeholders, you know how to keep everyone in the loop. WHAT DO WE OFFER? You'll have the rare opportunity to join DATAPAO at a time when you can still meaningfully impact our growth trajectory and organizational success. Furthermore, you’ll also get to spearhead our regional expansion. Surely, we know everyone needs a little something to do their best work. Here is a list of some other extras we offer: * The chance to work remotely - as we don't have a physical office in the UK yet, we offer a fully remote setup for the time being. However, given our strong community emphasis, we'd expect you to spend one month in our Budapest hub during onboarding and visit the office for one week every quarter; * World-class educational benefits - there’s no shortage of learning opportunities at DATAPAO, meaning that you'll get access to Databricks' public and internal courses to learn all the tricks of Distributed Data Processing, MLOps, Apache Spark, Databricks, and Cloud Migration from the best. Additionally, we'll pay for various data & cloud certifications, you'll get dedicated time for learning during work hours, and access to our internal library; * Flexible PTO days - we’re flexible with how many days you take off if that does not conflict with customer success and the work getting done; * 4 weeks of paternity leave - because we think it’s important for both parents to be there when it matters the most; * Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - life always happens! And we'd like to be there for you when it counts the most. Through EAP, we offer our employees access to psychology, financial, and legal consulting services via phone or in person; * Pension scheme enrollment and a comprehensive private health insurance plan - offered via our EOR (Employer of Record) provider, Remote.com. Remote will be your official employer in the UK for the foreseeable future until we establish our own legal entity in the UK; * Top-notch working equipment - working comfortably means working well. You will get a MacBook Pro and a sign-up bonus of 500 GBP gross (to be paid with your first payroll) to set up your home office or whatever else is needed to give your best; * The chance to make an impact in a high-transparency culture - open feedback and no politics are things we value a lot at DATAPAO. Additionally, you'll get the chance to work in the field of data & AI and shape the future of a rapidly growing tech company. IMPORTANT NOTE: Given that we are still sorting our ways out in the UK, this list will likely get an update in the following months, and we're also committed to growing it with us over time. The gross salary for this position ranges from 70.000 to 100.000 GBP/year, depending on your assessed seniority level during the selection process. Please note that currently we are unable to support transfer or offer full sponsorship for Skilled Worker visas as we’re just setting foot into the UK. WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT US?

The Role — Interstellar Squad The Interstellar Squad owns a core part of our commercial platform: the billing run — a mission-critical, high-volume pipeline that turns large-scale usage data into timely, accurate invoices for customers worldwide. It's a technically rich domain: distributed data processing, event-driven workflows, financial correctness, and operational reliability at scale. We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to set the technical direction for Interstellar, raise the engineering bar across the squad, and guide delivery of a platform that has to stay correct, predictable and scalable as the business grows. A central part of this role is leading the gradual modernisation of a mature platform into a set of focused, TypeScript-based domain services — using a strangler-fig approach to extract capabilities incrementally, keeping the existing system safe and our customers unaffected while we evolve the architecture. You'll report to an Engineering Manager and partner closely with the Product Manager, Delivery Manager and engineers in the squad, as well as peer Leads across the domain. You'll have the mandate to shape how we design, build and run our systems — and the responsibility to keep the team aligned behind that direction. This role is based in the UK to work alongside the local squad and a team in Poland. You will be expected to travel to our Poland offices at least once a quarter. Key Responsibilities * Set and communicate a clear technical vision for the squad's services, aligned with product and business objectives, and translate it into concrete near-term work * Lead the incremental decomposition of a mature platform into well-bounded, TypeScript / Node domain services using a strangler-fig pattern — defining seams, sequencing extractions, and protecting delivery and correctness throughout * Define and uphold engineering standards for code quality, testing, observability, and operational readiness across the squad — applied consistently to both legacy and new services * Own complex technical decisions end-to-end: articulate trade-offs, choose an approach, document it, and bring the team along * Drive architecture and system design for distributed, data-intensive billing workflows — simplifying where we can, investing where it pays off * Lead the design and implementation of SLIs and SLOs for squad-owned services (Grafana), and take ownership of their health and reliability in production * Guide CI/CD and delivery practices in collaboration with the squad (GitLab), keeping cycle time short and releases safe across both old and new components * Raise the bar on code review — provide thorough, growth-focused feedback and coach engineers to do the same * Mentor engineers at all levels, create clear growth paths and unblock them day to day; help the team build confidence in modern TypeScript/Node practices * Champion AI-assisted/agentic engineering (IDE agents, CLI tooling, reviews) — set norms for when and how to use it, keep humans accountable for correctness, and share practices with peer squads * Partner with Product and Delivery to shape roadmaps, size work honestly and manage technical debt with intent * Represent the squad in cross-domain technical forums and contribute to the wider engineering direction Key Experience & Skills Required * Proven experience leading the technical direction of a squad or product area, not only as an individual contributor * Deep, production-proven backend expertise in a modern, strongly-typed stack — ideally Node.js / NestJS / TypeScript and/or PHP 8.x / Symfony * Demonstrable experience modernising or decomposing a mature monolithic / legacy system into smaller services — comfortable with strangler-fig, anti-corruption layers, contract design, dual-write / shadow strategies, and incremental cut-overs * Strong background in distributed systems and event-driven / asynchronous processing (e.g. RabbitMQ, Kafka, SQS) * Experience designing and operating data-intensive, business-critical services where correctness, idempotency and recoverability matter * Strong command of PostgreSQL (query design, indexing, performance tuning); bonus for distributed/sharded setups (e.g. Citus) * Experience owning CI/CD pipelines and release strategy in a team setting (GitLab or equivalent) * Track record of defining and enforcing engineering standards — type safety, clean architecture, testing, observability * Practical experience with observability and SLO-driven operation of production services (metrics, tracing, logs; Grafana or similar) * Strong communication and stakeholder skills: can explain trade-offs to engineers, PMs and senior leadership clearly and honestly * Experience mentoring engineers and developing them over time * Sensible, hands-on exposure to AI-assisted development (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or similar) with a thoughtful view on where it helps, where it doesn't, and how to use it safely in a team context Preferred * Experience leading a PHP → TypeScript / Node transition (or equivalent cross-language modernisation) * Strong understanding of TypeScript at an architectural level: generics, decorators, dependency injection patterns and type system design * Experience with PHP / Symfony monorepos and shared library patterns * Background in billing, financial or metering/rating domains * Familiarity with AWS-based platforms (ECS, S3, Parameter Store, SES) * Experience evolving a team from an IT-delivery mindset toward a Product Operating Model * Exposure to projects involving LLMs or Machine Learning in a production context What Will Make You Shine at Wireless Logic * Leads with technical credibility — brings architectural confidence without becoming a bottleneck * Creates clarity — turns ambiguous domain problems into simple, well-structured decisions * Modernises pragmatically — knows when to extract a service, when to leave it, and how to keep the lights on while the architecture evolves * Executes through the team — balances writing code with enabling engineers to do their best work * Manages delivery pragmatically — breaks down problems, sequences work, communicates progress and risk early * Manages technical debt with intent — makes informed, defensible calls about when to refactor * Partners with Product — translates business outcomes into technical plans and back again * Coaches and grows people — gives direct, kind feedback and invests in the team's development * Models continuous learning — including thoughtful adoption of new tooling and AI-assisted workflows Why Come Work with Us? * The chance to join a creative, entrepreneurial company where bold ideas are celebrated * Full training, ongoing support, and the tools to help you thrive and grow in your role * A company with heart — we genuinely care about our people and make sure everyone feels valued, respected, and part of the team Overview of Interview Process * Tele Interview — Meet the people team * Online Technical Task * Behavioural Interview — Meet your hiring manager & Delivery Manager * Technical Interview - Meet Engineering Manager & a peer Tech Lead * Leadership Interview - Meet your leadership How We Work We've adopted a hybrid working approach to give flexibility on where and how we work. This role is based in the UK to work alongside the local squad and a team in Poland; you'll find out more about what this means for the role during the recruitment process. You will be expected to travel to our Poland offices at least once a quarter. #LI-Hybrid #LI-CC1 We know the world has changed, and we want to offer our employees the chance to collaborate at our unique office spaces, whilst enjoying the convenience of working from home.
