Company mission
To make banks more agile and efficient than ever before, enabling innovative experiences that improve the lives of customers and employees.
Role
Who you are
- If you are passionate about building hi-tech products, comfortable with ambiguity, have the lateral skills to go from roadmap to architecture to code, and most importantly, if you want to apply your engineering chops to make an impact, talk to us
- Bachelor of Computer Science or a related technical field
- 4+ years of experience as a Data Engineer
- Experience with Java or Python
- Demonstrated expertise in engineering data-intensive applications
- Ability to work with large datasets, including the skills to establish scalable data pipelines
- Schema design for data warehouses, preferably with cloud-native data warehouses
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code
- Although not required, please highlight your Lambda or Kappa architecture experience
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a product-focused Senior Data Engineer. In this role, you build and maintain the cloud-based data stack that powers Zafin Analytics
- You will think deeply about the undercurrents of data engineering, such as security, DataOps, data modelling and data integration – to help design the data architecture that delivers on the product roadmap, while maintaining a high standard for scalability, data integrity and reliability
- Build the pipeline to ingest data from source systems to a cloud-based data warehouse and perform required data transformations
- Develop the analytics product from prototyping to production-quality code
- Implement processes to monitor data quality and the health of the data pipeline
- Implement test cases for the data pipelines and the data-intensive application
- Define and extend the data model required to power the analytics use-cases
- Contribute to the analytics strategy and help set up the data infrastructure stack
- Apply software engineering best practices to analytics code (e.g., version control, testing, CI/CD)
Our take
Zafin is a global provider of a range of digital transformation solutions for the banking sector, with a focus on relationship-based pricing solutions for enterprise grade financial institutions and banks. Clients include Canada’s big five, and further flung giants like the National Bank of Abu Dhabi.
The problem Zafin is solving is a big one for incumbent banking institutions: legacy frameworks and business practices are relatively cumbersome and byzantine in comparison to the nimbler, snappier challenger and neo banks. This means they’re losing out, particularly with the younger generations, who prefer convenience over institutional pedigree.
Zafin’s solution functions as a neat little workaround, allowing banks keen to digitally transform to dodge the hefty delays and sunk costs of retooling their systems from scratch. Banks globally are scrabbling to compete with their attractive, agile digital-first competitors, so Zafin won’t struggle to find customers. This is especially because it’s expanded to cater to neo-banks, too. With such a broad scope and a strong reputation of its own, Zafin is a confident, highly relevant company, which makes it no surprise that Nordic Capital bought it out in 2024. This acquisition will accelerate Zafin's growth and product development roadmap.
