About the Role

Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays. Wero is a proudly European digital wallet that makes payments easier, clearer and more secure. Online, in store, at home and across borders, with money and data protected under European laws and regulations. Wero is live in Belgium, France and Germany and launching soon in Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Backed by 16 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, we are building a brand-new, proudly European payment system.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build and maintain reliable batch and near-real-time pipelines for payments, settlement, consumer and other critical data domains.
  • Ingest and model data from operational systems, event stores and third-party sources into EPI’s lakehouse.
  • Define and enforce data contracts covering schemas, ownership, quality expectations, freshness SLAs and breaking-change procedures.
  • Implement orchestration, scheduling, retries, monitoring, alerting, reconciliation and incident response for production-grade, idempotent workflows.
  • Apply governance and privacy-by-design principles, including PII classification, access controls, retention and auditability in line with GDPR, PSD2, DORA and internal requirements.
  • Build reusable tooling, templates, CI/CD workflows and secure deployment patterns for teams delivering data products.
  • Optimise storage, compute, query performance and materialisation strategies, contributing to cloud cost governance.
  • Collaborate with product, analytics, backend, fraud, finance and platform teams, documenting key technical and data decisions.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional experience in data engineering, backend data systems or a closely related role, with strong SQL and solid Python skills for production pipelines.
  • Production experience with Databricks or an equivalent lakehouse platform, including governance, scheduling, deployment and Delta Lake design, as well as dbt modelling, testing, documentation and DAG management.
  • Hands-on experience with orchestration, CI/CD and deployment automation, plus designing data contracts, schema validation, freshness SLAs and ownership boundaries.
  • Strong data governance and privacy-by-design knowledge, ideally in fintech, payments, banking or another regulated sector, with experience in monitoring, data quality and incident response.
  • Ability to turn ambiguous business requirements into dependable, reusable data products and governed metrics.
  • Fluent English (CEFR C1 or C2) and confidence communicating asynchronously in a distributed European team.
  • Experience with event-driven architectures, Kafka or equivalent event-store patterns, including schema registries.
