Job Description:

Job Description Summary

  • Lead a team of data and backend engineers responsible for building, operating, and continuously improving the data platform that powers tax compliance for global enterprises across Latin America.
  • Own delivery, reliability, sprint execution, and technical quality — translating architectural direction and product priorities into clear, executable engineering plans.
  • Drive incident response, root-cause analysis, and remediation for data and platform failures, while maintaining on-call processes, runbooks, and operational hygiene.
  • Guide engineers in implementing ETL/ELT pipelines, Spark/PySpark jobs, and Python services; oversee Node.js and TypeScript services that orchestrate, validate, and expose data workflows.
  • Maintain and actively manage a technical debt backlog, balancing new feature delivery with platform sustainability, cost control, and reliability improvements.
  • Collaborate closely with the Data Architect, Product, Tax, and DevOps teams to ensure execution aligns with long-term platform strategy, data requirements, and compliance standards.

Required Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience building and operating data-intensive and backend systems in production environments.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Python, SQL, Apache Airflow, and Spark or PySpark.
  • Solid experience with Node.js and TypeScript in backend service development.
  • Proven track record running and maintaining event-driven or batch-based data pipelines at scale.
  • Experience operating production workloads on AWS, including S3, RDS/Aurora, EMR/EMR Serverless, and IAM.
  • Experience running production workloads on Kubernetes.
  • Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams through delivery cycles, incident management, and operational ownership.
  • Strong understanding of data modeling, schema evolution, idempotency, and multi-tenant data systems.
  • Comfortable operating in environments with regulatory, financial, or compliance-driven data requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Iceberg, Delta Lake, or modern lakehouse platforms.
  • Familiarity with dbt, data quality frameworks, or data lineage tooling.
  • Experience with Kafka, Kinesis, or CDC-based pipeline architectures.
  • Background in fintech, tax technology, accounting, or compliance platforms.
  • Experience scaling data engineering teams or platforms from early-stage to enterprise scale.
  • Equivalent combination of education, training, and relevant professional experience accepted in lieu of a formal degree.

Tools We Use

  • Backend Development: Node.js, TypeScript, Prisma
  • Cloud Infrastructure: AWS (S3, SQS, RDS, ECS, Kubernetes)
  • Frameworks: Fastify
  • Project Management: Atlassian Suite, Notion
  • Communication: Gmail, Slack, Zoom

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
