Data Engineer

About Us

Confirmo is a global stablecoin-first payment platform trusted by market leaders. Originally founded in Prague in 2014, we now run one of the most established infrastructures in the industry. We're a 60-person global team, and we're looking for a Data Engineer to help shape the foundation of how we work with data - you'd be joining as our second hire in this space, with plenty of room to make your mark.

The Role

You're going to make sure people at Confirmo can make data-driven decisions. We don't expect you to be creating reports or running data analyses yourself - we expect you to enable pretty much everyone else to do so. As Confirmo's second data engineer, you'll achieve this by building the data infrastructure and pipelines that empower the entire organization.

Responsibilities

• Understanding Confirmo's business model, deeply mastering our data model, and then significantly shaping it so it stays maintainable and representative.
• Building trustworthy and robust data pipelines that deliver information from various internal and 3rd-party sources including our transactional systems, banks, PSPs, exchanges, and blockchain(s).
• Proposing tooling that's suitable, affordable, and adoptable for a scaleup of Confirmo's size and needs.
• Working with our current core stack of PostgreSQL, Airflow, Python, and AWS, while being open to extending the stack with anything else that makes sense.

Requirements

• A data engineering background and a taste for exploring and quickly adopting new technologies and approaches.
• Demonstrated experience with both traditional (OLTP, OLAP) and horizontally scalable warehousing approaches (Data Lake, Data Mesh, built on BigQuery, Spark, Snowflake, or similar technologies).
• Professional software engineering experience. Python is ideal, but any other major language used in data processing is almost as relevant.
• Real, non-tutorial knowledge of data modelling and data warehousing principles.
• Data infrastructure engineering experience, or the willingness to quickly pick it up. Proficiency in Terraform and other IaC-based infrastructure management techniques is expected.
• An interest in fintech and/or crypto technologies is a plus.

Location

Our office is in Prague, but the role can be remote across the Czech Republic or Slovakia.
