Job description

Shaping the Future of Mobility: Senior Data Engineer

As a Senior Data Engineer, you won't just be "managing databases." You will be the master craftsman of our data backbone, building the high-performance pipelines and robust governance frameworks that power the intelligence of an entire city.

bitaksi is Turkey's leading taxi-hailing app, transforming urban mobility with innovative technology. Over the past 13 years, we've grown from a small startup to a pivotal part of people's daily lives, providing safe, easy, and modern transportation solutions.

Company Vision:

Our vision is to transform the way people move by leveraging cutting-edge technology and creating seamless experiences for both riders and drivers. We aim to be the preferred transportation platform of choice, setting new industry standards and reshaping urban mobility.

Impactful Work: Your contributions will directly impact millions of rides. Without your pipelines, the city stands still.

Innovation and Technology: Work with a modern stack in a high-concurrency environment where "real-time" isn't just a buzzword—it's a requirement.

What You’ll Do

• Architect the Flow: Design, build, and maintain scalable, end-to-end data pipelines (ETL/ELT) that process millions of events daily.
• Be Hands-On: Get into the trenches of coding and optimization. You’ll be writing clean, production-grade code to handle complex data transformations.
• Champion Data Governance: Establish and implement data governance standards. You will ensure data quality, lineage, and security are integrated into the very fabric of our data platform.
• Power the Intelligence Layer: Collaborate closely with Data Scientists to provide optimized features and reliable datasets for real-time ML models.
• Optimize for Scale: Tune our big data environment for maximum performance, ensuring our infrastructure (AWS/GCP, Spark, Airflow) grows as fast as our user base.
• Bridge the Gap: Work with Product and Engineering teams to turn business requirements into robust data schemas and reliable analytical assets.
• Data Architect & Builder: You have 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering, with a strong foundation in Computer Science or a related field.
• Tech Maestro: You are a Python and SQL expert. You have hands‑on experience with Big Data tools (Spark, Kafka, Flink) and workflow orchestrators (Airflow, Dagster).
• Governance Advocate: You don't just move data; you care about its integrity. You have proven experience in Data Governance, including data cataloging, lineage tracking, and implementing data quality frameworks (e.g., Great Expectations, dbt tests).
• Cloud Native: Deeply comfortable managing data infrastructure on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Problem Solver: You thrive on optimizing slow queries and fixing bottlenecks in high-throughput systems.
• Clear Communicator: You can explain the importance of "Data Lineage" to a stakeholder and discuss "Partitioning Strategies" with a DevOps engineer with ease.
• Real-World Impact: Your work isn't hidden in a lab; it’s the engine room of a service used by millions every day.
• Agile Culture: We move fast, we test fast, and we celebrate wins together.
• Tech-First Environment: We invest heavily in our data infrastructure and encourage continuous learning.

What we offer?

• Open communication, teamwork and strong company culture of continuous development
• Private health insurance (family included)
• Monthly IstanbulCard reimbursement
• Team and company activities for motivation
• Discounted gym membership
