About The Role — DFYNE Your Career
Before I tell you more about the role, let me introduce myself. I’m Bruce, Head of Development at DFYNE, and I’m looking for our first dedicated Senior Data Engineer. This role will own the DFYNE data warehouse, helping ensure the data that powers finance reporting, forecasting, inventory management and operational decision-making remains accurate, reliable and available. You’ll take ownership of BigQuery pipelines, transformation layers, exports and integrations while working closely with teams across the business. This is a hands-on role where you’ll help define data engineering standards, improve data reliability and build the foundation of DFYNE’s future data capability.
