Data Engineer - #1599

JOBSTER PRIVATE LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 85,000 - 125,000; Full time

Job summary

JOBSTER PRIVATE LTD. in Singapore seeks a Data Modelling and Transformation professional to design data models and build transformation pipelines for a unified asset inventory.

You will collaborate with analysts to deliver dashboards for asset visibility and incident readiness, while ensuring data quality and scalable models across sources.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or BI development.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and data transformation frameworks (dbt, Spark).
• Hands-on experience building dashboards and visualizations with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Grafana, Superset).
• Experience designing data models for operational or analytical use cases (star schemas, entity resolution, or graph-based relationships).
• Ability to work with messy, heterogeneous data from multiple sources and produce clean, reliable outputs.
• Understanding of data quality practices including validation, deduplication, lineage, and monitoring.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain data models that unify cyber asset information from diverse sources (WOG central systems, agency-specific data sources, vulnerability scanners, CMDBs).
• Build and maintain transformation pipelines that clean, normalise, enrich, and relate ingested data into a coherent asset inventory.
• Establish and enforce data quality standards deduplication, completeness checks, schema validation, and lineage tracking.
• Evolve the data model as new data sources are onboarded, ensuring backward compatibility and minimal disruption to existing dashboards.
• Build dashboards that address agency-specific use cases including asset visibility, vulnerability prioritisation, patch tracking, and incident response readiness.
• Collaborate with the Business Analyst to develop compelling data narratives selecting the right metrics, views, and drill-downs that connect data to agency decision‑making.
• Iterate on dashboard designs based on agency feedback, balancing clarity with analytical depth.
• Maintain and update existing dashboards as underlying data models or agency requirements evolve.
• Validate successful data ingestion in coordination with the Platform Infrastructure Engineer confirming completeness, freshness, and schema conformance.
• Monitor data pipeline health, investigate anomalies, and resolve data quality issues.
• Optimise query performance and data refresh schedules to ensure dashboards remain responsive and current.
• Document data models, transformation logic, and dashboard specifications for operational continuity.
• Partner with the Business Analyst to identify patterns and insights within ingested data that support agency engagement.
• Provide technical input on feasibility and effort when new agency use cases are proposed.
• Contribute to defining what "good" looks like for asset visibility coverage metrics, quality scores, and completeness indicators

Requirements

Essential

• Minimum 3 years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or business intelligence development

• Strong proficiency in SQL and experience with data transformation frameworks (e.g., dbt, Apache Spark, or equivalent)

• Hands‑on experience building dashboards and visualizations with BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Grafana, Superset, or platform‑native tooling)

• Experience designing data models for operational or analytical use cases star schemas, entity resolution, or graph-based asset relationships

• Ability to work with messy, heterogeneous data from multiple sources and produce clean, reliable outputs

• Understanding of data quality practices including validation, deduplication, lineage, and monitoring

Desirable

• Experience with cyber asset data CMDBs, vulnerability scanners (Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7), endpoint management platforms, or network discovery tools

• Familiarity with attack surface management concepts including asset ownership, exposure scoring, and vulnerability lifecycle

• Experience with the Singapore government IT landscape, GCC (Government Commercial Cloud), and WOG shared services

• Familiarity with data pipeline orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, Prefect)

• Experience with Python for data manipulation and automation

• Prior experience in cross-functional teams working alongside infrastructure engineers and business analysts

Competencies

• Analytical Rigor: Ability to make sense of complex, heterogeneous data and produce models that are both correct and useful
