Senior Data Engineer

Let's start with the role

At Kaizen, our commitment to the unparalleled value of data drives every decision we make. Building on our robust Data Lake architecture, we are moving towards a transformative Data Mesh architecture—treating data as a product with well-defined contracts, distributed ownership, and domain-oriented design.

As we evolve our data ecosystem, we are deeply focused on data democratization, governance, observability, and secure, scalable ingestion. Our goal: every piece of data perfectly accessible, monitored, governed, and efficiently ingested from its source into our platform.

Our data tribe is well-prepared to lead this transition, driving the design and expansion of next-generation Data Products and ingestion frameworks. By joining our team, you’ll be at the forefront of Kaizen’s data-driven innovation.

Our Tech Stack: Spark, Python/Scala, Databricks, Delta Lake, Apache Airflow, Airbyte, GitLab, Grafana, Kafka, and cloud-native services (Azure/AWS).
