Our team of over 700 experts from 35+ countries works tirelessly to transform intricate data into actionable strategies, ensuring our clients stay ahead in a dynamic market landscape. Join us to leverage cutting-edge innovation for impactful results and experience unparalleled support on your journey to success.
You will join a data-intensive product team responsible for building and operating core data pipelines and backend systems that model and deliver insights on global refinery operations and economics. The team works at the intersection of data engineering, backend engineering, and data science, transforming diverse industrial and market data into reliable, production-grade datasets used by customers and internal teams.
This role is a senior individual contributor position, with significant ownership over data architecture, pipeline reliability, and engineering standards. You will help shape how data is engineered, validated, and delivered across the Refineries product.
Role Description - What you will work on
Design, build, and evolve batch and streaming data pipelines that power refinery modeling, analytics, and customer-facing products.
Own complex data ingestion, transformation, validation, and delivery workflows across multiple data sources.
Drive improvements in pipeline reliability, scalability, and observability, including retries, backfills, data quality checks, and monitoring.
Lead schema design, versioning, and evolution strategies to support stable, long-lived data contracts.
Build and maintain backend components and APIs used to serve data to downstream systems and applications.
Partner closely with data scientists, product managers, and other engineers to translate domain requirements into robust technical solutions.
Continuously improve existing systems as data volume, complexity, and product expectations grow.
