Senior Analytics Data Engineer at Mixbook Moldova

Job Description 

The Platform and Data team within the Engineering organization serves as the backbone for data across Mixbook, delivering the foundation upon which our insights, prediction models, and AI investments thrive. We are committed to developing a modern data infrastructure, focusing on leveraging best-in-class tools and architectures. This role will focus on establishing data marts through curation and transformation to power our analytics and machine learning processes. In addition to overseeing the data transformations, the role will play a key role in selecting and implementing data transformation and observability platforms (i.e., dbt, coalesce). 

As our Senior Analytics Data Engineer, you will help marry our business initiatives that thrive on data with data assets. A successful candidate will have that rare mix of technical expertise and business prowess; combining a solid grasp of ETL and transformation techniques and tools with an eagerness to work with business leaders from across our company. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable infrastructure to transform our data from a raw stream of events into analytic data marts for business and analytics teams to access. If you're passionate about data and engineering and want to be part of an exciting, fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.

We are seeking candidates based in Moldova, Romania, or neighboring European countries. This position is fully remote for candidates outside Moldova. For candidates based in Moldova, a hybrid work model is available at our office in central Chisinau. The vast majority of our Engineering team is in Moldova, so we’re seeking candidates in nearby countries to enhance team camaraderie within a similar time zone.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or another related college degree.
• A solid grasp of Analytics Data engineering principles, practices, frameworks, and methodologies.
