About the Role
We’re hiring a Data Engineer to join our growing Platform Team and help shape the data foundations behind our products. As our customer base and data volumes grow, you’ll make sure our production data architecture, pipelines and storage remain reliable, scalable and cost-effective. This is a hands-on role focused on the systems that power our products, rather than internal BI or building a company-wide data warehouse. You’ll improve data models and database performance, help us choose the right storage and processing tools for each workload, and strengthen data quality and retention practices. Projects could include moving large and non-operational data out of PostgreSQL, improving pipeline orchestration with Prefect, and evolving our search and analytical capabilities with technologies such as OpenSearch and column databases. You’ll bring the experience and judgement to assess our current architecture independently, constructively challenge established practices, identify the most valuable improvements, and take them from proposal through to production. Working closely with product engineers, AI engineers and DevOps, you’ll combine practical delivery with longer-term architectural thinking. Whether you’re an experienced mid-level engineer ready for broader ownership or already operating at senior level, this is an opportunity to take a dedicated data engineering role with a meaningful impact on how Xelix scales. At senior level, you’ll lead data architecture decisions across teams and own the roadmap for improving our production data systems.
