At Epignosis our mission is simple yet bold: To make learning technologies accessible to every business, regardless of geography, sector, or company size.

We're rapidly becoming one of Greece's largest SaaS companies, serving 12,000+ companies and 11+ million learners worldwide with solutions like TalentLMS (an award‑winning cloud LMS built for simplicity), eFront (an enterprise LMS), TalentCards (a mobile app for deskless training), and TalentHR (a lightweight HRIS for people operations).

Our success is built on a team that believes that work should matter — not only to you, but to the world around you. We're looking for people who light up when solving hard problems, who care deeply about their craft, and who want to build something that genuinely helps people grow.

We are searching for a skilled Data Engineer to join our Data Team and play a key role in implementing our Data Transformation project. The ideal candidate will design, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines and workflows to support analytics and business intelligence initiatives. Additionally, they will be responsible for managing data infrastructure, optimizing databases and schemas, and ensuring data integrity.

• Optimize data workflows and storage solutions to enhance performance and scalability.Ensure data quality and consistency through validation and cleaning processes.

Bonus points

• Experience with big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop, Kafka).
• Familiarity with AWS Athena and Redshift will be a plus.

We've built a workplace where people can do the best work of their careers. Here's how we support that:

• Competitive salary and bonuses. Strong base pay plus performance rewards at personal, team, and company levels.
• Stock options for everyone. Build software that empowers millions of learners worldwide, and own a piece of what you're creating. All team members can become shareholders, and these options have already changed lives.
