Senior Data Engineer

You know that moment when Ross tries to "pivot" the couch? That's basically the data pipeline on a Monday morning. It's big, it's heavy, it's not turning. That's why my client needs you — the one who can actually get it through the doorway.
They're looking for a Senior Data Engineer who can turn chaos into clarity, who builds order where others just reboot, and who doesn't lose it when the pipeline floods (unlike Joey when someone eats his fries).
You're not just an engineer — you're the one who makes the data behave.

Degree: Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or something that required way too many all-nighters
Experience: 5+ years building and maintaining data systems that actually work (Monica would be so proud)
Tech Stack: Python, SQL, Airflow, dbt, Spark — you know, the gang that gets things done
GCP Superpowers: BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub — you've tamed them like Ross tamed dinosaurs (okay, "tried" to)
Credit Know-how: You speak fluent "loan origination, risk, and repayment" — like Phoebe speaks fluent Smelly Cat
Soft Skills: You think like a strategist (Ross), build like Monica, joke like Chandler, and keep cool under pressure like Joey before an audition

In Other Words...
This isn't just another gig — it's your Central Perk of data. You'll join a crew that laughs through the chaos, celebrates every fix, and knows that every great system starts with a really good cup of coffee.
So if you're ready to architect the maze, build something legendary, and maybe shout "Pivot" a few times along the way…
Apply now — this could be the one where you land your dream job.
