About the role

Original posting from Talon.One

Talon.One, an Adyen company, is the most powerful incentives engine that unifies loyalty, personalized promotions and offer management into a single platform.

Built for enterprise scale and security, Talon.One helps businesses design and deliver incentives that drive real customer behavior.

Today, over 300 of the world’s most-loved brands including Sephora, Gymshark and Costa Coffee work with Talon.One to turn their incentives into a reliable growth engine.

ABOUT THE TEAM:

The Data team owns Talon.One's data infrastructure and the insights built on top of it: we design and operate the pipelines that bring data in and model it, and we turn that data into the analysis and reporting that guide decisions across the company. The team brings together data engineers, analytics engineers and data analysts, and continues to grow as Talon.One scales.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

You will be part of the Talon.One Data department, working closely with our Data Engineers and reporting into the Head of Data. Your responsibilities will span the full data lifecycle: owning and improving our data platform and ingestion pipelines, applying business logic and transformations to raw data (dbt, BigQuery), and partnering closely with stakeholders across the Infrastructure and Product Engineering teams.

ONCE YOU ARE HERE YOU WILL:

Own the data ingestion streams for all of our client’s DBs, from Postgres to BigQuery

Own the overall data infrastructure: set up, maintain and improve our stack with new technologies for more efficiency and best practices. E.g. improve orchestration

Write DWH pipelines and improve our overall DWH code to apply best practices and bring more efficiency.

Be part of a data team composed of various profiles, be at the center of all infrastructure decisions and work closely with other stakeholders from the R&D department, especially the DevOps team.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO BRING TO THE TABLE:

2-4 years of experience in the Data Engineering / Data Ops field, ideally working on some big data warehouse projects

You are familiar with the modern data stack and are able to recommend, set up and maintain all different kinds of components from data ingestion to automation

You always thrive for applying data engineering best practices: consistency checks, testing data reliability, monitoring on top of ingestion pipelines, no double business logic in the code

Must have:

Data Orchestration: Airflow, Dagster, or similar

Containerization: Kubernetes

Relational Databases: PostgreSQL

Data Transformation: dbt

Nice to have:
