About the role

Our Technology team isn’t just one of the best in the industry. It's one of the best in the world. And we’re proud of it. It’s our driving force — our engine.

From building a new financial backend to creating an innovative app, there’s nothing they can’t do. Our Technology team isn’t here to fix legacy systems — it’s here to build world-class financial features from the ground up that'll be used by millions of people around the world.

At Revolut, we pride ourselves on how truly data-driven every department of the company is. Data platform engineers are the enablers of this data-centric culture, providing the infrastructure and tools that power insight generation and decision-making for everyone, from entry-level analysts to C-level executives.

To manage the exponential growth in data size and related complexity, we're seeking the most talented and passionate engineers – exceptional builders and strong collaborators.

• Partnering with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, data science, analytics) to build and enhance a seamless data platform, translating abstract concepts into practical solutions
• Establishing and enforcing data standards, maintaining comprehensive documentation, and managing a company-wide data registry
• Training and supporting users, and communicating platform updates and insights through various channels (dashboards, bots, etc.)
• Planning and executing organisation-wide platform changes, ensuring consistent best practices for coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance
• Leveraging data to guide all aspects of engineering work, ensuring insight-driven outcomes

What you'll need

• Proficiency in Python, SQL, and Unix Shell scripting.
• Experience implementing agile software development best practices, including TDD, refactoring, CI/CD, and XP
• Demonstrated experience in custom ETL design, implementation, and maintenance, along with workflow orchestration using tools like Airflow
• Extensive experience working with distributed data processing and query engines (e.g., Trino, Spark, Snowflake, BigQuery)

Nice to have

• Proven experience building large-scale infrastructure applications and writing maintainable code in multiple programming languages
• Expertise in cloud (GCP, AWS), containerisation, and infrastructure-as-code (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
• Experience building data platforms using Spark, Trino, Presto, Flink, or similar, with a focus on data quality, SQL performance tuning, and data warehousing principles
• Understanding of modern data architecture with experience implementing data mesh principles
• Familiarity with notebook-based data science workflows and proficiency in using monitoring and logging tools (NewRelic, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK).

Building a global financial super app isn’t enough. Our Revoluters are a priority, and that’s why in 2021 we launched our inaugural D&I Framework, designed to help us thrive and grow everyday. We're not just doing this because it's the right thing to do. We’re doing it because we know that seeking out diverse talent and creating an inclusive workplace is the way to create exceptional, innovative products and services for our customers. That’s why we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join this multicultural, hard-working team.
