Overview
Contentful is hiring a Data Engineer to design and build scalable data solutions that support analytics and business decision-making. You'll work with technologies like Airflow, AWS, and BigQuery in Denver.
Job Description
Who you are
You have a strong background in data engineering with experience in designing and building scalable data pipelines — you've successfully implemented data solutions that enhance analytics and operational reporting. Your expertise in cloud environments, particularly AWS, allows you to optimize data storage and processing effectively.
You are proficient in SQL and Python, enabling you to develop high-quality data models and transformations — your skills in tools like Airflow help you automate and manage data workflows efficiently. You understand the importance of data quality and have implemented validation and monitoring processes to ensure reliability.
You thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with analytics, product, and business teams to translate data needs into technical solutions — your ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders is a key strength. You are familiar with CI/CD practices and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), which you apply to streamline data platform operations.
Desirable
Experience with data warehousing solutions such as BigQuery or Snowflake is a plus — familiarity with data governance and stewardship practices will help you contribute to the development of best practices within the team.
What you'll do
As a Data Engineer at Contentful, you will design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that integrate multiple systems and sources — your work will directly impact the quality and accessibility of data across the organization. You will partner with cross-functional teams to understand their data requirements and develop solutions that meet their needs.
You will implement strong data quality measures, ensuring that the data is clean, reliable, and actionable — this involves developing validation processes and monitoring systems to maintain trust in the data. Your role will also include optimizing data storage and processing performance within cloud data warehousing environments, contributing to the overall efficiency of the data platform.
In addition, you will support data platform operations by troubleshooting issues and improving reliability — your proactive approach will help ensure that service level agreements (SLAs) are met consistently. You will collaborate with governance teams to document data definitions and stewardship practices, fostering a culture of data responsibility within the organization.
What we offer
Contentful provides a dynamic work environment where you can grow your skills and make a significant impact on the company's data strategy. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, along with opportunities for professional development. Join us in shaping the future of data solutions at Contentful, where your contributions will help drive business success.
