At Kodify, we're not just pushing boundaries in online entertainment—we're rewriting the script! Our goal is to empower our people with everything they need to pioneer innovation in our industry. Our culture is our secret sauce, and we're committed to preserving and enhancing it every step of the way.
Join our crew, where the Kodify team is not just an asset, it's our crown jewel. We prioritize their growth and well-being above all else, ensuring they're set up for success and always inspired to deliver their best work.
As a rapidly expanding company with diverse hubs across the globe and over 20 vibrant national cultures, working with us means embracing thrilling challenges tailor-made for a star Senior Data Engineer!
At Kodify, data is at the heart of how we make decisions. From product and marketing to finance and operations, every team relies on trustworthy data delivered at the right time. We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help us raise the bar — building the pipelines, models, and platforms that turn raw events into reliable insight at scale.
What will you do?
You'll help to evolve a data platform that supports products serving close to 100M unique visitors a month.
Design, build, and own robust data pipelines from source systems (Postgres, MongoDB, event streams, third-party APIs) into our warehouse.
Architecture - Make pragmatic decisions about ingestion, storage, transformation, and serving layers, including our columnar/analytical serving layer. Balance speed, cost, and maintainability.
Modeling - Drive our dbt project: structure, conventions, testing, documentation, and CI. Make it a platform other people love to contribute to.
Semantic layer - Own and evolve our semantic layer so metrics are defined once, governed centrally, and consumed consistently across BI, product, and finance.
Governance & lineage - Champion data cataloging, documentation, and end-to-end lineage so everyone can find, trust, and understand our data.
Quality & Reliability - Own data quality end-to-end: tests, monitoring, alerting, lineage, and SLAs. If a dashboard is wrong, you care.
Performance - Optimize warehouse and columnar query performance. Know where the bottlenecks are before stakeholders do.
Collaborate with the BI team, Product, Development, Marketing, and Finance to understand what they need and translate it into clean, reusable data models.
Mentor the wider BI/Data team — code reviews, pairing, raising the technical bar on SQL, dbt, Python, and engineering practices.
Duties - Becoming a valued team member, providing feedback about tech, development lifecycle and processes. Take ownership of your code / task / role.
Goal - Be proud of the data platform you help build, and be one of the driving forces behind always making it better.
