Data Engineer - Overlap European time zone

Data Engineer (Remote)

Rate: Up to $62/hour

Location: Remote (Europe or Lat Am)

Timezone: Must overlap with European hours and partially with Asian timezones

We’re looking for an experienced Data Engineer to take full ownership of a production data layer powering internal tools and systems.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who can design, build, and operate reliable data pipelines end‑to‑end — from ingestion to serving — with a strong focus on correctness, observability, and long‑term scalability.

You’ll work closely with a small, high‑impact engineering team and operate with a high level of autonomy.

• Own the data stack end-to-end: ingestion -> transformation -> modeling -> serving -> monitoring
• Build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines from APIs, webhooks, and operational systems
• Design resilient data models that handle evolving and imperfect source systems
• Implement monitoring and alerting for data quality, freshness, and pipeline failures
• Ensure high reliability and observability across the data layer
• Lead improvements, migrations, and infrastructure decisions
• Collaborate with engineering leadership on architecture, including modern data access patterns

• Strong experience building and operating production-grade data systems
• Solid fundamentals in data modeling and pipeline design
• Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of a domain
• High attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy
• Strong communication skills in async, distributed environments
• Comfortable working in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments

• Experience building internal tools or reusable data systems
• Familiarity with modern/experimental data patterns (e.g., real‑time or agent‑driven data workflows)
• Interest in working close to product and infrastructure layers

• High ownership and autonomy over the data domain
• Opportunity to build and scale systems from early stages
• Exposure to modern data and AI‑driven workflows
• Remote‑first environment with a small, high‑performing team

• You prefer highly structured environments with heavy oversight
• You’re uncomfortable owning production systems end-to-end
• You prefer narrowly scoped roles over broad technical ownership
