Aircall is on a mission to revolutionize the business phone industry! We exist to empower every professional to have richer conversations. We provide an entirely cloud-based voice solution, which seamlessly integrates with popular productivity and helpdesk tools. We have raised more than $220 million since 2015, and our base of 8000+ customers (and growing) is at our forefront. Behind our product are the amazing teams driving it, split between Paris, New York, Sydney, Madrid, London, Berlin and remote locations. Despite our distance, we all work together to drive our product!

• Improve, manage, and teach standards for code maintainability and performance.
• Improve the data team deployment process to make it as seamless as possible.
• Enhance our data lineage, monitoring and alerting to prevent outages and incidents.
• Understand the data engineering trends, regularly meet with other teams (SRE, tech, security) and build roadmaps designed for short and long term impact

A little more about you:

• 4+ years of experience in an data engineering position, ideally including 1+ year of team management.
• Proficient in SQL and Python, eager to work with Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes or Kinesis.
• Deep understanding of data engineering subject areas: CI/CD, scheduling with dbt/Airflow, monitoring and alerting, AWS services for data processing, dockerization, data lakes and warehouses (Kimball)…
• Ability to generate data flow architecture recommendations and experience in deploying technology and frameworks.
