- Solid experience with Python development - or, alternatively, another object-oriented programming language. You can write clean, maintainable code to automate and extend our data tooling
- Strong prioritization skills and a practical approach to changing priorities. You can balance planned improvements with operational issues, communicate trade-offs, and stay focused during incidents
- Excellent English communication skills. You work effectively with people from different backgrounds, both technical and non-technical. You can explain your decisions, challenge ideas constructively, and remain open to other perspectives

Desirable
- Experience with Apache Spark or Trino SQL for large-scale data processing

What the job involves
- Do you have a passion for building innovative technology solutions? Our team in Barcelona is seeking a talented Senior Data Ops Engineer to join us in building the next generation of our Compliance SaaS platform using cutting-edge technology. You will design, implement, and maintain test automation frameworks that drive our continuous delivery process
- You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate service integrations, test our products and systems, and optimize our testing strategies. If you’re looking for growth and the opportunity to mentor other engineers, this may be the right role for you!
- As a Senior Data Ops Engineer, you will drive the reliability, scalability, and performance of our data platform. You will shape how we manage data pipelines, infrastructure, and tooling. You will embed automation, strengthen observability, and ensure our data infrastructure meets the Insights team's needs. Your impact will extend beyond individual pipelines, influencing processes, teams, and the long-term stability of our data platform
- Here’s how you will contribute to our team:
- Data Pipeline Development. You will design, build, and maintain Airflow DAGs, data ingestion pipelines, and dbt pipelines that move and transform data across our platform. Your work ensures that data flows reliably from source to destination and that downstream teams can trust the models they build on top of it
- Kubernetes & Infrastructure Operations. You will maintain our Kubernetes namespaces and Trino and Airflow clusters and manage multiple environments end-to-end. By keeping our infrastructure stable, scalable, and production-ready, you give every team that depends on it the confidence to build and ship at speed
- Cross-Team Coordination. You will coordinate closely with the SRE team on infrastructure and deployment topics, and work hand in hand with the Backend team to align on shared architecture decisions. Your ability to communicate clearly across teams keeps our data platform consistent with the systems it connects to
- Monitoring, Metrics & Support. You will expand our monitoring and alerting setup, prepare internal metrics that give teams clear visibility into system health, and assist with user-reported bugs as they come in. Together, these efforts keep our platform reliable and our users confident in the data they depend on
Our take
With consumers and investors concerned about the environmental and social impact of corporations and governments increasing regulations on carbon emissions and supply chains, businesses now must report on a range of metrics other than the bottom line. Aside from being the right thing to do, mistakes can be extremely costly both in reputation and in fines. Founded in 2000, EQS Group exists to make corporate compliance, investor relations and ESG reporting easier with its cloud-based EQS Cockpit resource.
The EQS Cockpit allows streamlining of a wide range of compliance processes, including relatively obscure matters such as whistleblower protection which have recently cost firms large amounts of money (see for instance Barclays receiving a $15 million fine along with massive reputational damage for failing to protect a whistleblower). In a time when governments such as Germany are increasing compliance requirements on supply chain to deal with the scourge of human trafficking, such a solution is likely to be particularly appreciated.
As expected of a company providing a much needed enterprise service, EQS Group has been in demand in recent years, seeing an almost 20% increase in revenue over 2022 and adding nearly 250 new corporate customers to its books. This growth is continuing, driven by the introduction of the EU whistleblower directive across the EU member states, a new investment from Thomas Bravo and by EQS Group's continuing marketing efforts as it expands into additional markets.
