If you're ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us. Attributes We Value We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you're motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor. You're humble and collaborative; turn zero-to-one ideas into real products, and you "get stuff done" end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you'll tackle complex, high-visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let's build what's next. Senior Data Engineer Hiring Location: Singapore What you'll do Part 1. Data Modeling - Design and implement robust and scalable data models that support business intelligence, machine learning, and operational needs. - Possess a deep understanding of data schemas and be able to select appropriate schema designs (e.g., star schema, snowflake, normalized vs denormalized) based on use cases. - Collaborate closely with business teams to translate their data needs into clean, structured, and well-documented models. - Understand and promote the concept of SSOT (Single Source of Truth) throughout the data layers and pipelines. - Maintain data consistency, traceability, and quality across multiple data sources and domains. Part 2. ETL and Data Pipeline Management - Experience building and maintaining both batch and streaming ETL pipelines, with a strong understanding of end-to-end data workflow - from data ingestion to transformation and delivery. - Able to work closely with Data Platform Engineers (DPEs) and Product Managers (PMs) to quickly identify root causes of data issues and provide efficient, scalable solutions. - Bonus if you've worked with data across distributed or multi-datacenter systems, including solving challenges related to data migration, duplication, and consistency. Part 3. Data Governance - Participate in and contribute to data governance strategies, policies, and standards. - Be familiar with any of the six key pillars of traditional data governance (e.g., data quality, data stewardship, metadata management, master data management, data privacy/security, data lifecycle). Part 4. Data + AI - We hope you have a basic understanding of AI and enjoy thinking about how data engineering and AI can work together in practical and creative ways. These four areas are the main focuses of the DE team. Ideally, you should be strong in at least one of them - especially data modeling or data ETL. If you also have experience or skills in the other areas, that would be a big plus. Who you are We're looking for people who meet the minimum qualifications for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory. Minimum qualifications: - Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Information Systems, Finance, Mathematics, or a related field. - Minimum 7 years of proven experience designing and implementing ETL pipelines, with a strong understanding of the strategies, rules, and processes involved in building scalable and reliable data pipelines. - Experience with streaming data pipelines or real-time data processing technologies, such as Apache Kafka or Apache Flink. - Proficiency in SQL, database management systems (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle), and data warehousing solutions. - Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and modern data infrastructure tools, including Databricks and Airflow. - Knowledge of data governance practices and regulatory requirements within the financial industry. - Excellent problem-solving skills with strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality work. - Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. - Outstanding verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with globally distributed teams. Preferred qualifications: - Experience with financial industries, payment systems, or fintech platforms. - Knowledge of data governance practices and regulatory requirements in the financial industry. - Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, R) for data analysis and automation. - Certification in data management or related technologies At Airwallex, you can make an impact in a rapidly growing, global fintech. We want you to share in our success, which is why you'll be offered a competitive salary plus valuable equity within Airwallex. We also like to ensure we create the best environment for our people by providing collaborative open office space with a fully stocked kitchen. We organise regular team-building events and we give our people the freedom to be creative.

Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Applied Statistics or other engineering- or analytics-based discipline (MS preferred). - 6–10+ years experience in planning science (forecasting, inventory optimization) with hands-on modeling. - Strong SQL and dbt experience; advanced Excel skill set, and at minimum a familiarity with Atlan / Snowflake or an equivalent platform. - Proven product ownership of analytics/plan platforms including management of the backlog, releases, and change control. - Demonstrated change leadership with planners with measurable FVA and adoption wins. - Experience working in a cross-functional or centralized technology/process improvement team. Preferred Qualifications - Experience with ERP and CRM (preferably, NetSuite and Salesforce) integration. - An understanding of K-12 education business model and seasonality. - Experience in dealing with complex independent and dependent demand scenarios driven by complex kits and BOMs. - Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex data models to non-technical stakeholders. - Familiarity with continuous improvement methodologies (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma), quality assurance practices, or structured project/change management frameworks.
