About Global Data and BI Global Data and BI is hiring on a rolling basis for Data, BI & Analytics and ML/AI projects for large corporations. Beyond consulting services, we build production-ready business platforms and SaaS applications that leverage modern cloud technologies, data analytics, and AI capabilities. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions with certified engineers in AWS and Microsoft Azure / Power BI technologies. Our focus includes transformation projects in the financial industry, custom platform development, and our proprietary Noème suite of products. Our mission is to transform the corporate data journey from complexity to strategic clarity, ensuring data is not just collected, but leveraged to drive smarter decisions, stronger businesses, and lasting impact.

Summary

Millions of enterprise users depend on the data platforms and analytics systems we build. The Data Platform Product team is responsible for designing, implementing, scaling, and operating the foundational data infrastructure that powers our Noème product suite and client platforms. You'll join a team of talented engineers building best-in-class data capabilities that enable data-driven decisions, real-time analytics, AI/ML workflows, and mission-critical business applications for Fortune 500 clients.

Our data platforms power everything from real-time event processing and analytics dashboards to AI-powered automation, data integration pipelines, and enterprise data warehouses. You'll build systems that process millions of events daily, enable complex data transformations, and deliver insights that drive business decisions across global organizations.

What you'll do (roles & responsibilities)

  • Own and develop systems that democratize data access and enable advanced analytics capabilities for Noème products and client platforms
  • Build scalable data infrastructure including event streaming platforms, data pipelines, workflow orchestration, and real-time processing systems
  • Design and implement data platform features that power product capabilities like real-time analytics, AI/ML workflows, automated data quality checks, and intelligent notifications
  • Work cross-functionally with Product, Data Science, Data Engineering, AI, and Client Success teams to deliver impactful data solutions
  • Work across the full stack - from cloud infrastructure (Azure/AWS) to backend services to data processing frameworks - to successfully build and deliver platforms that provide leverage to multiple teams
  • Influence and execute the roadmap for data infrastructure and systems that power high-scale product features using real-time and batch data processing
  • Monitor and operate systems in production environments, optimizing performance, ensuring reliability, and evolving critical systems with minimal disruption
  • Build event-based architectures that handle millions of events per day with high throughput, low latency, and strong reliability guarantees
  • Design asynchronous workflow systems for complex data processing, ETL/ELT pipelines, ML model training, and business automation
  • Implement data integration patterns connecting diverse data sources (databases, APIs, SaaS platforms, streaming sources) into unified data platforms
  • Create reusable tools and frameworks that enable data engineers and product teams to build data-powered features efficiently
  • Ensure data quality and governance by building monitoring, validation, and lineage tracking capabilities into data platforms
  • Optimize cost and performance of cloud data infrastructure while maintaining high availability and scalability
  • Collaborate with clients to understand their data requirements and deliver custom platform capabilities that solve their business challenges
  • Contribute to technical architecture decisions and help establish best practices for data platform development
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to building a strong engineering culture
