[Partial Remote] Senior Data Engineer

Looking for a Senior Data Engineer to spearhead a "from-scratch" architectural evolution for a Global Leader in Digital Platform for the client. Currently, its APEC data team is at a critical inflection point, moving from basic data ingestion to a sophisticated Databricks ecosystem on Azure.

What you’ll do (Responsibilities)

• Architect the Future: Own the end-to-end orchestration of the regional Data Platform, transitioning legacy pipelines into a modern, scalable Databricks/Synapse architecture.

• Establish Engineering Excellence: Implement the first wave of CI/CD frameworks and DevOps practices for data projects, ensuring naming conventions, code reviews, and automated testing are integrated from day one.

• Operational Governance: Monitor and manage cross-border pipelines to ensure 99.9% data accuracy and stability, specifically addressing the challenges of high-growth APEC data flows.

• Cost & Performance Strategy: Lead FinOps initiatives to optimize Azure billing and resource allocation as data volume scales.

• Business Partnership: Act as a technical consultant to non-technical stakeholders across APEC, challenging functional needs and analyzing technical feasibility to deliver high-impact data products.

What you’ll bring (Requirements)

• Experience: 6-8+ years in Data Engineering, with a proven track record of building production-grade platforms from the ground up.

• Technical Mastery: Deep expertise in Python, SQL, and Azure (ADF, Databricks, Synapse). Experience with K8s or Terraform is a significant plus.

• The "Builder" Mindset: You are uncomfortable with "manual processes" and have a natural drive to automate, standardize, and document.

• Communication: Fluent in English and Mandarin. You can explain the "why" behind an architectural choice to a Business Head as clearly as you can explain "how" to a peer.

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Engineering, or a related quantitative field.

What sets this company apart (About the company)

• Global Relocation Track Record: This is a true springboard for international careers. The previous incumbent successfully relocated from Taiwan to the regional HQ in Singapore, proving the company’s commitment to internal mobility.

• Modern Work Culture: Enjoy a high degree of autonomy with a Work-From-Home Friday policy implemented since Jan 2026, alongside a flexible, output-driven foreign investment environment.

• High Technical Impact: You report to a Taiwan-based Data Head who values technical leadership and provides the air cover needed to implement modern engineering standards.
