Data Engineer

ABOUT US

IPRoyal builds data access and data-mining infrastructure trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises.

Our products enable customers to reliably collect and work with publicly available data at scale, solving complex challenges around availability, performance, and compliance. We operate globally, at high volume, and under demanding reliability requirements.

As our customers and use cases evolve, so does the complexity of our platform - which is why our data infrastructure and analytics capabilities are becoming a critical growth lever for the company.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a Data Engineer with 2–5 years of experience to join our data team. You'll play a key role in managing and evolving our data infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform, with a strong focus on data governance, dimensional data modeling, and complex data transformations within our dbt project. This is a hands-on role where you'll work closely with analysts and stakeholders to ensure our data platform is reliable, well-governed, and scalable.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own and develop complex dbt models - build, optimize, and maintain data transformations across staging, intermediate, and mart layers following dimensional modeling best practices

• Enforce and improve data governance practices - implement data contracts, documentation standards, column-level lineage, access controls, and data quality testing within dbt

• Design and maintain data pipelines using workflow orchestration tools

• Write and maintain Python scripts for data ingestion, processing, and integration tasks

• Manage and optimize the data warehouse for cost, performance, and structure

• Collaborate on Infrastructure as Code to provision and manage cloud resources

• Establish and maintain data quality frameworks - implement dbt tests, source freshness checks, and anomaly detection

• Contribute to defining and enforcing naming conventions, coding standards, and PR review processes for the dbt project

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Must-Have:

• Strong proficiency with dbt - you understand ref/source patterns, incremental models, macros, packages, and testing strategies

• Solid experience with SQL and at least one MPP/columnar database (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or similar)

• Hands-on experience with dimensional data modeling - star schemas, snowflake schemas, slowly changing dimensions, fact/dimension table design

• Working knowledge of Python for data tasks (scripting, APIs, lightweight ETL)

• Experience with a workflow orchestration tool (Dagster, Airflow, Prefect, or similar)

• Familiarity with cloud platform services (GCP, AWS, or Azure - compute, storage, IAM)

• Understanding of data governance concepts - ownership, access control, documentation, data quality

• Experience with Git-based workflows and code review practices

• Experience with Terraform or other IaC tools for managing cloud infrastructure

• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines for dbt (e.g., dbt Cloud, GitHub Actions)

Nice-to-Have:

• Exposure to data cataloging or metadata management tools

• Understanding of data privacy regulations (GDPR or similar)
