The Role

You will join as a Senior Data Engineer within the Platform and API engineering vertical. We are looking for someone who understands the properties, use-cases, and subtleties behind the different flavors of databases, computation engines, stream processors, message queues, workflow orchestrators, serialization formats, and other related technologies. When designing solutions, they should be able to make good choices as to which technologies to use and have a vision as to how to make them work together.

You will join one of our empowered teams and help us to make the right technical and architectural decisions as we evolve and scale our systems. As a senior engineer, we will look to you to take a lead in these discussions and bring your ideas as well as solicit and incorporate ideas from others in the team.

We pride ourselves on having an open and collaborative environment within the teams and as well as working on your code, you will help and coach others with their work.  You will contribute to the overall success of the team, with a focus on the team’s successful delivery rather than solely at an individual level.

Within the team, we look to engineers to take responsibility for the quality of their code.  Engineers are expected to write tests and take ownership of the systems that ensure overall quality.  You will not only take part in this but also coach others in the team end to end - from requirements through to production support.

What does success look like in your first 6 months?

  • You contributed to delivering your team's roadmap with high quality. You've helped achieve this by collaborating with other team members, and proactively given or asked for help. You've identified when reaching out to others outside the team is relevant, and taken steps to include them.
  • You can explain to others the main problem we're trying to solve for our stakeholders with regards to the product capabilities the team owns, including where it integrates with other ComplyAdvantage systems. You know some of our customers and understand their biggest pain points. You know our future direction and participate in sprint reviews, design meetings and keep up to date with the product research.
  • You will have contributed your ideas to the architectural evolution of the platform and seen your ideas implemented.
  • You are continuously researching tools, technologies, and practices. You can distinguish between what is hype and what is valuable, and you have solid arguments in favour of your proposals.
  • You can guide the team towards the established goals. Your colleagues have come to value your technical advice, and you can identify areas that need improvement and drive those improvements.
