At Airwallex, you will work closely with a group of talented engineers with a passion for learning through
solving the most challenging problems with cutting-edge technology. In this Data Engineering role, you
need to have systemic thinking with data content architectural design and will be building a metrics layer
to handle data at a massive scale. And you will be building robust data modeling to produce high-quality,
consistent, structured data for running business applications and enabling less tech-savvy colleagues to
do self-service analytics. In short, you will make Airwallex to be a truly data-driven organization. We are
looking for talented senior Data Engineers excited about redefining what it means to do Data
Engineering. However, we also recognize that each Data Engineer has a unique blend of skills. Whether
your strength is in data modeling or data processing, we want to talk to you.
Your Responsibilities:
● Work in a variety of settings to build systems that collect, manage, and convert raw data into
usable information for data scientists and business analysts to interpret.
● Develop and automate large-scale, high-performance distributed data processing systems
(batch/ streaming) to drive Airwallex business growth and improve the product experience.
● Evangelize high-quality software engineering practices toward building data infrastructure and
pipelines at scale.
● Lead data engineering projects to ensure pipelines were reliable, efficient, testable, and
maintainable and were largely in charge of architecting solutions.
● Design our data content models for optimal storage and retrieval and to meet critical product
and business requirements.
● Contribute to shared Data Engineering tooling standards to improve the productivity and quality
of output for Data Engineers across the company.
Qualifications:
● 5+ years of relevant experience as a data engineer.
● Bachelor's or Master's degree in CS/CE/CIS (or equivalent experience) with knowledge of Kotlin /
Java / Scala / Python / SQL. Knowledge of Spring Boot, Spark, Flink, Hadoop, BigQuery, and
Snowflake is preferred.
● Ability to take ownership of designing, building, and operating distributed systems and
establishing overarching data architecture.
● Strong working knowledge of Real-time/Batch processing systems.
● Experience performing root cause analysis on internal and external data and processes to
answer specific business questions and identify opportunities for improvement.
● Strong analytic skills related to working with unstructured datasets.
● Build processes supporting data transformation, data structures, metadata, dependency and
workload management.
● Both excellent written and verbal communication skills across teams in both Mandarin and
English.
