Description
**Your Mission**
================
* Design the target\-state data architecture: Postgres CDC Kafka Snowflake client\-facing data products.
* Own tooling decisions across ingestion, orchestration, transformation, and quality layers.
* Implement CDC\-based ingestion from PostgreSQL services (RDS, Aurora, EC2, K8s operator) using Debezium or equivalent.
* Build streaming and near\-real\-time pipelines with defined SLAs.
* Build a data quality control layer: checksums, reconciliation, schema validation, anomaly detection, and alerting.
* Define quality checkpoints across the full pipeline — from source capture through Snowflake to client delivery.
* Define and enforce data contracts with service\-owning teams for core entities: transaction, merchant, settlement, and processing status.
* Build the external data delivery layer: financial settlement, transaction status, processor reconciliation, and client analytics.
* Design tenant separation and implement replay/reload mechanisms for failure recovery.
* Start hands\-on, then gradually hire and grow a small data engineering team as the function matures.
Build a pragmatic roadmap with concrete deliverables at 3, 6, and 12 months.
**What Makes You a Great Fit**
==============================
* 5\+ years in data engineering with end\-to\-end ownership of production pipelines.
* Hands\-on with Snowflake, PostgreSQL CDC (Debezium preferred), and Kafka.
* Solid AWS experience — S3, RDS, Aurora, and cloud data infrastructure.
* Data quality engineering mindset: monitoring, reconciliation, lineage.
* Comfortable defining data contracts and driving requirements with backend engineering teams.
* Technical leadership experience: project ownership, cross\-team alignment, delivery under constraints.
* Kubernetes, Airflow/Prefect/Dagster, and dbt are strong pluses.
* Payments domain knowledge — settlement, transaction lifecycle, processor integrations — is a strong plus.
* Familiarity with gRPC, RabbitMQ, and reading Go/Python service code is expected.
* English language skills at the B2 level and fluent russian language.
