Data Engineering Manager at Keep

At Keep, we started with a simple but ambitious question. Why has the banking experience failed to keep pace with the rapid evolution of modern technology? We are currently on a mission to reshape the Canadian fintech landscape by providing businesses with a comprehensive suite of cross-border banking services. From revenue financing and currency conversion to deposit accounts and credit cards, we are building the next generation of financial tools. Our team is composed of global startup veterans with a track record of successful exits, and we are backed by leading venture capitalists in the fintech space as we scale our impact.

• Hands-on expertise in setting up and scaling data infrastructure from scratch.
• Proficiency in Python and SQL, along with deep familiarity with tools such as DBT, Snowflake, Fivetran, and Hightouch.
• Technical mastery of data engineering, specifically regarding the creation and maintenance of complex data pipelines.

Compensation and benefits

We believe in supporting our team members through a flexible work environment. As part of our commitment to our employees, we offer the following:

• Remote work flexibility that allows you to contribute from anywhere.
