Senior Data Engineer

About the project

At Cloudfide, we engineer solutions where data truly becomes an accelerator for innovation. We build and evolve large-scale Big Data and cloud-native platforms for global clients, including leaders in retail and the Fortune 500.

We process massive, complex datasets, operate fully in the cloud ecosystem, and work with the latest technologies, including AI, ML, MLOps, and modern data architectures.

Our projects have measurable, real‑world impact - from enhancing customer experiences at scale to empowering data-driven decision-making in high‑visibility global organizations.

As we continue to grow, you’ll have the opportunity to shape solutions, mentor others, drive architecture decisions, and take ownership of strategic initiatives.

Opportunity Overview

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, building, and scaling our clients’ cloud data platforms. You’ll work closely with technical and business stakeholders, influence architecture decisions, and drive best engineering standards across teams.

Expect cutting-edge cloud environments (Azure-first, with cross-cloud exposure), Databricks, Spark, robust CI/CD, and high-impact data solutions used across international organizations.

You'll join a team of passionate engineers who value technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous growth.
