Overview

Elevate your career at Qodea, where innovation is part of our DNA. We are a global technology group built for the future, offering high‑calibre professionals the platform for high‑stakes work that defines careers. We work for global leaders such as Google, Snap, Diageo, PayPal, and Jaguar Land Rover, solving problems that others have not yet solved.

You will operate where technology, design, and human behaviour intersect to deliver tangible outcomes, fast. This work leaves a mark and is something you’ll be proud to share.

Qodea is built for what’s next, with an environment where your skills will evolve at the frontier of innovation and AI, ensuring continuous growth and development.

About The Role

The purpose of this role is to design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and infrastructure that enable efficient processing and analysis of large, complex data sets. While we operate a flexible model, we expect you to spend time on site (at our offices or a client location) for collaboration sessions, customer meetings, and internal workshops.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain automated data processing pipelines using Google Cloud.
• Design, build, and maintain data pipelines to support data ingestion, ETL, and storage.
• Build and maintain automated data pipelines to monitor data quality and troubleshoot issues.
• Stay up‑to‑date with emerging trends and technologies in big data and data engineering.
• Ensure data quality, accuracy, and completeness.
• Collaborate with data scientists and analysts to design and optimise data models for analytical and reporting purposes.
• Develop and maintain data models to support analytics and reporting.
• Monitor and maintain data infrastructure to ensure availability and performance.

Requirements

• Experience with cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Proficiency in SQL and experience with relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle.
• Experience with big data technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, or Hive.
• Familiarity with data warehousing and ETL tools such as Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, or Apache Airflow.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, or Scala.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to work independently and in a team environment.

Benefits

• We are a team of passionate people who genuinely care about what they do and the standard of work they produce.
• Collaborate with our two hubs in Portugal: Lisbon and Porto.
• Strong company culture with weekly meetings, company updates, team socials, and celebrations.
• In‑house DE&I council and mental health first‑aiders.
• 25 days of annual leave, Juneteenth, your birthday off, and paid office closure between Christmas and New Years.
• Health insurance.
• 15 days of paid sickness and wellness days.
• A generous learning and development budget and an annual leadership development programme.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Qodea, we champion diversity and inclusion. We believe that a career in IT should be open to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, or neurotype. We value the unique talents and perspectives that each individual brings to our team, and we strive to create a fair and accessible hiring process for all.
