Data Platform Engineer
Block Labs, Portugal +15
The role
Data & Intelligence now sits at the centre of several products we are developing, and we need a platform that is both dependable and capable of supporting more advanced intelligence over time.
This role reflects that shift. We are designing a new data platform that will act as the backbone for everything from real time decisioning to predictive modelling. As a Data Platform Engineer in the Data Team, you will own the end-to-end real-time pipeline, serving data across a unified analytical warehouse and feature-serving layer. You are not building dashboards. You are engineering the commercial nervous system of a multi-tenant platform designed to scale from one operator to 10x with marginal infrastructure cost.
What you will do
- Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines using AWS Glue (PySpark), or equivalent orchestration and transformation tools.
- Engineer and optimise the ClickHouse warehouse for sub-second query performance across all back-offices.
- Implement data contracts between back-office and the platform. Onboarding a new operator is a config change, not new tables, topics, or feature views.
