About the Role
Liberis is building the embedded finance platform that lets partners around the world offer innovative funding products to their small business customers. We're a growth-stage fintech at a point where the platform challenges are genuinely interesting, rethinking how teams are structured and how they ship. Our Data & Insights team builds the data platforms and analytics that enable every decision at Liberis to be data-informed and power AI/ML capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain resilient data pipelines that ingest data from Azure SQL, SaaS platforms, and event streams into BigQuery.
- Write Python code using DLT to define declarative, testable, version-controlled pipelines.
- Build and operate ML feature pipelines - low-latency, real-time data streams that feed ML models with accurate, fresh features.
- Own the operational health of systems you build - monitoring, alerting, error handling, and incident response.
- Collaborate with analytics engineers to understand data needs, validate schema design, and establish data quality standards.
- Partner with the AI/ML platform team to design feature stores, streaming feature infrastructure, and model serving pipelines.
- Identify and execute optimisation work - improving performance, reliability, and developer velocity.
- Mentor junior engineers, helping them grow as engineers and supporting their career development.
- Participate in technical decisions about platform direction - infrastructure choices, tooling, architecture trade-offs.
- Work cross-functionally with product teams, analytics engineers, BI specialists, and the ML platform team to shape data requirements and platform capabilities.
