Lead the greenfield design and production implementation of a secure, scalable cloud data platform. Build infrastructure with Terraform and CI/CD, develop resilient ingestion pipelines, create dbt transformation models and a unified semantic layer, and enforce privacy through code-based access policies. The role also involves documenting architecture, supporting governed data access for BI and AI assistants, and integrating data across enterprise systems.
Senior Data Engineer
Location: Remote, Barcelona
We are: Wizeline, a global AI-native technology solutions provider, develops cutting-edge, AI-powered digital products and platforms. We partner with clients to leverage data and AI, accelerating market entry and driving business transformation.

With the right people and the right ideas, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
Are you a fit? Sounds awesome, right? Now, let’s make sure you’re a good fit for the role:
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end, greenfield design and implementation of a scalable cloud data platform—from an empty account to a fully functional production environment.
- Deploy and manage all infrastructure as code (Terraform) through CI/CD pipelines, ensuring robust private networking, least-privilege access, and cost-conscious architecture.
- Build and own complex data transformation models and a unified semantic layer to ensure metrics are defined once and served consistently to both BI tools and AI assistants.
- Design secure, incremental data ingestion pipelines across various complex systems (e.g., HR, Atlassian, GitHub, Finance) that do not natively join.
- Enforce strict privacy by design, implementing row- and column-level access policies on confidential data strictly as code.
- Document architectural decisions (ADRs) clearly and create comprehensive handover documentation to ensure the platform can be easily operated by others.
Must-have Skills
- Experience: 8+ years of data engineering experience, including a proven track record of building at least one production-grade data platform from scratch (not just inheriting one).
- Language: Professional communication skills in English.
- Core Engineering: Advanced SQL and strong Python programming skills, with deep expertise in dimensional modeling and resilient production pipelines.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with AWS (S3, IAM, VPC, ECS/Lambda, RDS/Aurora) and deploying Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
- Data Transformation & Governance: Strong production experience with dbt (tests, documentation, lineage) and a solid understanding of implementing entity resolution and security access policies as code.
Nice-to-have:
- AI Tooling Proficiency: Leverage one or more AI tools to optimize and augment day-to-day work, including drafting, analysis, research, or process automation. Provide recommendations on effective AI use and identify opportunities to streamline workflows. (This is NOT AN EXAMPLE, INCLUDE IT IN EVERY JOB POSTING)
- Experience with modern enterprise cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift Serverless) and semantic/metrics layers (e.g., Cube, MetricFlow, LookML).
- Familiarity with exposing governed data to LLM agents (MCP, tool calling) and evaluating AI-generated answers.
- Previous experience handling cross-system business domains, such as Atlassian data models, GitHub engineering-flow metrics, or enterprise finance/OPEX data.
What we offer:
- A High-Impact Environment
- Commitment to Professional Development
- Flexible and Collaborative Culture
- Global Opportunities
- Vibrant Community
- Total Rewards *Specific benefits are determined by the employment type and location.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
