About the role
We are seeking a skilled Data Engineer to build and maintain our data warehouse and efficiently process data from various 3rd party platforms, ensuring it is transformed into well-structured data products for further business use. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the data infrastructure for a finance-related project, focusing on transforming raw data into reliable, accessible formats that meet the organization’s needs.
As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and maintaining scalable data pipelines that ingest and transform data from external platforms. You’ll ensure the quality, reliability, and availability of data to support business requirements. You will collaborate directly with engineering, product, and business teams to understand their data needs and deliver tailored technical solutions that address those requirements.
We are seeking a proactive individual who can be responsible for a big part of our data platform, drive innovation, and continuously enhance the data architecture to support the growing needs of the business. Your ability to effectively communicate technical concepts, provide constructive feedback, and facilitate knowledge sharing among team members at all levels will be highly valued.
About the project
The client is a renowned venture capital firm that manages its fund using Salesforce as the central data repository, alongside various other platforms for additional data sources. These sources range from Excel spreadsheets to external commercial tools and custom-built user-facing applications. Different departments rely on multiple siloed systems for data management, leading to a fragmented data landscape.
The major challenge is the suboptimal time to make the final decision as analysts can't rely on the existing data due to possible human errors and complicated data management. The solution is to build a unified data platform that will be integrated with Salesforce, fund accounting, and other existing systems to efficiently transform financial, legal, and ops data to data marts that are ready for interaction and comprehensive visualization with BI tools on web and mobile platforms.
