Data Engineer

Who are we? We are a team of driven individuals who strongly believe in the positive impact gaming and AI will have on the learning world. Today, we're helping enterprise businesses transition from video to gamified learning experiences that far outperform their traditional counterparts. If you strive to work in a creative and high-output environment, read on. Who are we looking for? A senior data engineer to own Pixaera's data end to end: the pipelines that bring data in, the warehouse and transformations that shape it, and the customer-facing dashboards and insights we build on top. Our customers judge the value of their training by what they can see, so this role owns that surface directly. Today the stack is Fivetran into Snowflake, transformed with dbt and surfaced through Omni. You will take real ownership of it, fix what is brittle, and turn it into a genuine product surface rather than a side project. You are happy working across the backend to solve data problems at their source, and you can explain a trade-off to a customer success lead as clearly as to an engineer. What You Will Own Customer-facing dashboards and reporting: the activity, completion and performance views customers rely on, built on the current data model (courses and completions, not legacy sessions) and kept correct as new content shipsThe data platform end to end: ingestion (Fivetran), the warehouse and data lake (Snowflake) and the transformation layer (dbt), including the modelling that harmonises sources and versions data properlyTurning raw learning and assessment data into insights that customers and internal teams can act on, and moving us toward live and near-real-time reportingReliability and cost: monitored, well-behaved pipelines, sensible incremental versus full-refresh models, and a real handle on data spendData products beyond dashboards: APIs, reports and exports, and the content mappings that keep reporting accurate, owned inside the publish pipeline rather than as manual handoffsThe data layer in product design: partnering with backend and frontend engineers so new features integrate with data cleanly from the start, and raising the bar for data practice across engineering Requirements Skills / Experiences Core Significant professional experience as a Data Engineer, senior enough to own a platform and its customer-facing outputs on your ownProven ability to independently master new concepts and technologiesStrong skills in analysing business processes and modelling data for reportingProven ability to communicate complex technical concepts and trade-offs to non-technical audiencesExcellent written and spoken EnglishSelf-motivated, independent and proactive; able to thrive in a fully remote environmentAI-native: fluent with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code on real deliverables, and keen to build AI and agentic steps into data pipelines and tooling Data tech Strong proficiency in writing Python and SQLStrong grounding in data structures, algorithms, and system designProficiency with data warehousing tools like Snowflake and data transformation tools like dbtComfortable modelling and delivering customer-facing dashboards in a BI tool such as Omni, Looker, Metabase or similar General tech Solid software engineering practices: testing, code review, CI/CDExperience deploying data solutions to production environmentsExperience with performance optimization and cost control in data pipelinesExperience with one or more public clouds (like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) Nice to Have Experience with Omni specifically, or migrating between BI toolsBackend fluency (Golang, NodeJS, Postgres) to fix data issues at their sourceSetting up and prototyping solutions using AWS; KubernetesExperience working at or with education and/or assessment solutions Benefits How do we support and benefit our employees: Competitive salary and stock options — everyone shares in what we're building25 days holiday + public holidaysFully equipped setup from day one (no waiting for laptops)Regular company offsites and team socialsA flat, transparent culture with direct access to leadership At Pixaera, we're committed to building a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and empowered to thrive.
