Data Engineer | On-site| George, Western Cape

Build the data platform you wish you’d inherited

We’re in the middle of a major data platform modernisation and this is your chance to help shape it.

This isn’t about maintaining legacy pipelines. It’s about designing and building a scalable, cloud-native data platform that works. Reliable, well-structured, and ready for advanced analytics.

If you enjoy solving complex data problems, working with modern tools, and having a real say in how things are built, you’ll feel at home here.

What You’ll Be Doing (and Why It Matters)

You’ll play a key role in building the foundation that powers data across the business.

Working closely with analysts, data scientists, and stakeholders, you’ll design and deliver data solutions that turn raw data into something trusted, usable, and impactful.

A big part of your focus will be helping us move from legacy systems to a modern stack using Estuary, dbt, GCP, and Snowflake, not just executing the migration, but helping define how we do things going forward.
