Job summary

Flow Traders in Amsterdam seeks a Core Data Engineer to own end-to-end data products, from the Security Master to trading data pipelines. You will build reliable datasets and scalable workflows that empower analytics and quantitative trading teams.

You will collaborate across disciplines, design data quality checks, and ensure production-grade pipelines across time zones, delivering timely, pristine data to stakeholders throughout the firm.

Qualifications

• Analytics or data engineering experience, ideally at a startup or scale-up through a growth phase.
• Strong data modelling and data quality practice: tests, contracts, lineage, observability in production.
• Strong proficiency in Python (ideally familiarity with another statically-typed language).
• Working proficiency with SQL and relational databases, and version control systems.
• Demonstrated ability to work with large datasets and familiarity with big data solutions.
• You have owned something in production, not only built it.
• You enjoy working directly with the people who use your data.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to balance individual stakeholder requirements with data quality, consistency, and broad applicability.

Responsibilities

• Craft datasets with quants. Take an underspecified research question and turn it into the right dataset: aligned, adjusted, point-in-time correct, documented, and reproducible.
• Develop and own the end-to-end lifecycle of these data products. Build and maintain pipelines, develop quality checks, correct day-to-day operational issues, and systematize/automate manual processing steps
• Own data quality where it matters. Design the checks and alerts that catch the problems that would actually hurt a strategy, and deliberately leave out the ones that are just noise.
• Build shared foundations. Reference data, instrument identifiers, corporate actions and vendor feeds that every researcher and trading desk depends on.
• Keep critical pipelines running. Markets in several regions, and digital asset markets that never close, depend on this data. You will be part of a team that supports it across time zones.
