You will ensure accuracy of customer-facing reports, build a data platform with Snowflake and DBT, and optimize compute and costs while mentoring engineers across the stack.

• Fluent in Polish with advanced English (written & spoken).
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including presenting to non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own the accuracy and reliability of customer-facing reporting—imports, processing pipelines, reports, dashboards, and exports.
• Build and lead the data platform: Snowflake CDC pipelines, DBT transformations, and silver/gold data layers via clean APIs.
• Engineer tooling to keep data honest: reconciliation, drift detection, and point-in-time state reconstruction across the system.
• Own compute and cost: right-size pipelines and tune queries for speed and cost.
• Set the technical bar for the team—plan, review, mentor, and own outcomes end-to-end.
• Partner with backend, analytics, and customer-facing teams to ensure reporting consistency across surfaces.
