The Role

We are expanding and elevating our data infrastructure and we’re looking for a highly skilled Data Platform Engineer to join our growing Data Platform team in Budapest.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will design, build, and operate scalable data infrastructure, data warehousing, and lakehouse solutions that power decision‑making and client-facing data products across the entire company.

Our Data Platform team is fully internal, co‑located in Budapest, and works closely with Product, Operations, Finance, Engineering, and leadership. You won’t be siloed; you will be part of a core function that supports the whole business. To succeed here, technical excellence is only half the story. The other half is developing a strong understanding of how our business works and how data can drive our strategy.

If you enjoy ownership, solving complex data challenges, and shaping a modern data ecosystem, we’d love to hear from you.

Collaboration & Leadership

• Mentor and guide team members to elevate engineering standards
• Translate business requirements into robust technical solutions
• Ensure compliance with data governance, privacy, and security standards
• Drive adoption of best practices across the organization

What You Bring to the Team:

Required Experience

• 5+ years of hands-on SQL experience (analytical queries, performance tuning)
• 3+ years of designing and operating large-scale data warehouse systems
• Strong knowledge of data modeling: dimensional modeling, schema design, architecture patterns
• 3+ years of experience with a major cloud provider (AWS / Azure / GCP)
• Experience with orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, etc.)
• 5+ years of real programming experience (e.g., Python, Java, Scala)
• Experience with modern cloud data platforms: Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks, BigQuery

 

Preferred Experience

• Deep dbt experience (modeling, testing, CI/CD, performance tuning)
• Hands-on experience integrating dbt with orchestration tools and cloud workflows

 

Nice to Have

• Ability to understand the business and translate needs into solutions
• Snowflake expertise (data loading, table design, permission models, DDL/DML, views)
• Experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, etc.; DAX, Power Query)
• Infrastructure as code (Terraform, AWS CDK, KDE)
• Streaming/Kafka experience (event driven architectures, real time data pipelines, schema design, and operating streaming systems at scale)
