YOUR WORK-LIFE OPPORTUNITY:
At Glovo Data, our mission is to optimize Glovo’s business via data-driven products and AI-driven experiences. High quality, trusted and reliable data is the foundational layer of everything we do.
Over a year ago, Glovo started moving into Data Mesh, being one of the very few companies operating under this new paradigm today.

You will be a role model for the 50+ Data Engineers in our Data Community; guiding and mentoring them while tackling interesting challenges. Our goal is to produce Data Products seamlessly, and to achieve it you will collaborate with Platform and domain teams defining best practices, ironing the developer experience and proving new concepts.
You will have the opportunity to influence and rally teams across the company to evolve the Data Engineering function and deliver incremental value to the organization through Data. You will be helping develop mechanisms, processes, tools and technologies to make their jobs more efficient and engaging.

- Guide and mentor Data Engineering teams in the evolution of Glovo towards Data Mesh
- Create innovative architecture blueprints for new topologies of Data Products
- Collaborate with the Data Platform team in first implementations of new features and influence their roadmap based on the needs of the Data Engineering community

- Proficient writing reusable, testable, and efficient Python code
- Vast cloud data engineering experience in at least one cloud platform (Azure, AWS, GCP).
- Proficiency with the internals of a distributed compute engine (Spark, Presto, Flink/Beam...) and orchestrators (airflow, dbt...).
- Understanding of streaming platforms, such as Kafka and management of semi-structured schema languages (such as json, avro)
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, along with the ability to influence senior level management and stakeholders.
- Skilled change manager: comfortable with change, especially that which arises through company growth.
