[Industry Top] Sr. Data Engineer

Save job

It's a dominant leader in Taiwan’s e-commerce and media ecosystem, currently undergoing a massive scale-up of their data capabilities. We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join their Data Platform Engineering team. This role is focused on building and modernizing enterprise-grade data infrastructure, shifting toward a modern Lakehouse architecture.

What You’ll Do

  • System Modernization & Refactoring: Analyze and re-engineer existing data scheduling and batch processing systems to improve code quality, maintainability, and throughput.

  • Internal Tool R&D: Develop automated tools and service modules (APIs) to enhance the "Developer Experience" for internal data users, including data quality validation and monitoring dashboards.

  • Infrastructure Management: Lead the transition to containerized deployments using Docker and drive CI/CD automation for data services.

  • Hybrid Cloud Integration: Architect and manage data resources across on-premises environments and public clouds (GCP, AWS, Azure), integrating components like BigQuery, Redshift, or Databricks.

  • High-Performance Engineering: Implement robust error-handling, retry mechanisms, and alerting for complex data pipelines to ensure fault tolerance in a high-transaction environment.

What You’ll Bring

  • Extensive Experience: At least 5 years in data engineering/architecture, with 2+ years specifically managing enterprise-level data structures.

  • Technical Mastery: Proficiency in Python and Java, with expert-level SQL optimization skills. Deep knowledge of Apache Airflow (or similar orchestrators) is essential.

  • Modern Data Stack: Familiarity with Lakehouse technologies (Delta Lake, Iceberg, or Hudi), distributed engines (Spark, Trino), and object storage (S3, GCS, MinIO).

  • Architectural Knowledge: Strong understanding of Medallion Architecture, Data Vault, or Kimball modeling, along with experience in streaming (Kafka/Flink).

  • DevOps & Containerization: Practical experience with Docker/Kubernetes and a solid grasp of hybrid-cloud architecture.

What Sets This Company Apart

This is an opportunity to work at the absolute heart of Taiwan's digital economy. Our client offers an environment where data engineering isn't just a support role—it is the product. You will have the resources of a massive corporate entity combined with a tech-forward mission to eliminate technical debt and adopt cutting-edge "DataOps" practices. The company values long-term career stability, continuous technical training, and the chance to impact millions of transactions daily.

What’s Next

If you are a software-minded data engineer ready to build the next generation of e-commerce data platforms, we want to hear from you. Please submit your CV and a brief summary of a system refactoring project you have led to start the process.
