Data Engineer

The project and the team

You will join the team behind a large-scale, centralized data platform built for a global consulting organization. The platform is the shared source of company data behind several of the firm's internal products, and is used daily by consultants for company research, including support for Mergers & Acquisitions (M& A) engagements.

This is fundamentally a data engineering role combined with software engineering: you'll be designing, coding, testing, and operating production Python systems - pipelines, libraries, and services - that move, transform, and serve data at scale. This is not a role focused on configuring tools or writing one-off queries. You'll be building reliable, maintainable software that powers our data platform. The goal is a unified, enterprise-grade dataset of 300M+ company records, integrated from 10+ external and internal sources.

The platform delivers firm-level and site-level data - firmographics, technographics, and hierarchical relationships (parent company, subsidiary, site) - alongside key business metrics such as revenue, CAGR, EBITDA, headcount, M& A activity, competitors, industry classification, and web traffic. Data needs to stay accurate, well-structured, and fast to query as both the dataset and the number of consumers keep growing.
