Senior Data Engineer

This is a remote position.

Shuru is an AI-native technology and engineering company that partners with businesses to build and scale high-impact digital products, platforms, and AI-driven solutions. We work with fast-growing organizations across industries, helping them solve complex technology challenges through strong engineering, product, data, and AI capabilities.

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join Shuru and help design and build scalable, reliable, and high-performance data platforms for complex business environments.

Pipeline Development

Pipeline Development

• Build, test, and maintain data pipelines on Azure Databricks for the assigned business line, using PySpark and SQL.
• Implement Bronze, Silver, and Gold layer transformations using Delta Lake, following the platform’s established lakehouse standards.
• Ingest structured and semi-structured data from sources such as MariaDB, Azure Event Hubs, APIs, and file systems.

Data Modelling

Data Modelling

• Design and build data models (dimensional models, Gold-layer tables) for the business line’s use cases, in line with patterns set by the Lead Data Engineer.
• Flag where a business line’s data model needs a shared, cross-line solution rather than a local one, and raise it to the Lead Data Engineer.

Quality & Reliability

Quality & Reliability

• Implement automated testing, data validation, and pipeline monitoring for everything owned.
• Respond to and troubleshoot pipeline incidents and data quality issues for the assigned business line, escalating where needed.
• Follow the platform’s cataloguing, lineage, and metadata practices so the data produced is discoverable and trustworthy.

Collaboration & Delivery

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work directly with the Forward Deployed Data Lead to turn scoped business requirements into build plans and delivery timelines.
• Partner with analysts and, where relevant, data scientists and AI engineers consuming the pipelines built, to make sure outputs meet their needs.
• Participate in code reviews and platform standards discussions led by the Lead Data Engineer.

Compliance

Compliance

Ensure pipelines and datasets meet data security, privacy, and regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR and PII handling) relevant to the business line.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of experience in data engineering, including hands-on work with cloud data platforms.
• Experience building pipelines on Azure Databricks, Delta Lake, or comparable lakehouse/cloud-native tools.
• Exposure to version control (Git), Agile methodologies, and CI/CD practices.
• Experience in fintech, broking, or trading platforms is a plus, not required.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

Benefits

• Work on challenging, large-scale engineering and data problems.
• Build modern platforms using cutting-edge cloud and data technologies.
• Work closely with experienced engineering, product, and technology leaders.
• Opportunity to take ownership of architecture and key technical decisions.
• Remote-first and collaborative work environment.
• Strong opportunities for learning, leadership, and career growth.
