Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
You will build and maintain the data pipelines that power a new suite of private credit analytics products. This means extracting data from large-scale loan administration systems, transforming it into analytics-ready structures, implementing incremental refresh logic for near-real-time delivery, and resolving entities across multiple sources. You own the "data in motion" layer — everything from source extraction through to landing clean, validated, reconciled data into the platform for downstream consumption.
Key Responsibilities:
Pipeline Build & ETL: Design, build, and maintain production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines to extract, transform, and load data from core administration platforms into the analytics data model. Handle tens of thousands of live records with daily (or intraday) refresh requirements
Data Extraction & Transformation: Implement extraction logic for complex financial data — including loan balances (funded, unfunded, PIK, outstanding), rate structures (index, floor, spread, all-in), pro-rata allocations, utilisation calculations, and maturity dates
Incremental Refresh Logic: Implement change-data-capture (CDC) and incremental refresh patterns to deliver near-real-time data without full reloads. Critical for client-facing products where same-day freshness is expected
Supplementary Data Ingestion: Build pipelines to ingest and validate structured data from regulatory filings and third-party sources, de-duplicate against the primary dataset, and integrate into the master data layer
Data Quality & Monitoring: Implement automated quality checks — completeness, freshness, range validation, referential integrity, duplicate detection. Build alerting for pipeline failures and anomalies
Collaboration: Work closely with the Data Architect (who defines the logical model and schema) and the Platform Engineer (who owns the infrastructure your pipelines run on) to ensure alignment between logical design, physical implementation, and delivery requirements
Requirements:
5+ years of professional data engineering experience building production pipelines at scale
Expert proficiency in Python and SQL
Hands-on experience with modern cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift) and transformation frameworks (e.g., dbt)
Experience with orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) and CI/CD for data pipelines
Strong experience with CDC, streaming, or event-driven architectures
Solid understanding of data modelling — star schema, slowly changing dimensions, master data management
Experience in financial services data environments preferred
Desirable:
Experience with regulatory filing ingestion and parsing (e.g., XBRL, HTML extraction from public filings)
Familiarity with loan-level data structures (credit agreements, facilities, tranches, pro-rata allocations)
Experience building pipelines that serve external commercial clients (not only internal BI)
Cloud platform certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
