Senior Data Engineer

ph3About Gigs /h3 pAt Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly. Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity. Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless. If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you. /p h3Things We Care About /h3 ul libSpeed. /bWe move and we ship. We set bold deadlines and treat every week like it matters. /li libOwnership. /b If you see something broken, fix it. We don't wait for permission. /li libCustomer Obsession. /b Our customers' product is our product. /li libAmbiguity. /b We're building frontier technology in a complex domain. You'll need sound judgement and good instincts to make decisions without complete information. /li libFirst principles. /b We don't ask how things have been done before. We ask why they were done that way at all. /li /ul h3The Role /h3 pAs a Senior Data Engineer on the Data Team, you'll continue to build and improve the data platform the whole company relies on. Data at Gigs cuts across everything: usage events from telecom networks, billing and revenue data, product analytics, and the numbers Finance closes the books with. We build data systems to solve business problems, not for their own sake. You'll make pragmatic technical decisions based on what the business needs, balancing speed, correctness, and long-term maintainability. You care deeply about data modeling and how data is consumed, not only how it's moved and stored. As a senior engineer, you'll set architectural patterns and standards, and you'll make decisions the team builds on as it scales. It's a cross-functional role. You'll work closely with Finance, Network Integration, Product, and other teams to understand their problems and turn them into reliable data products. You'll join a small Data Team reporting to our Head of Data, with a big surface area and significant influence over the technical direction of data at Gigs. /p h3Salary range for Senior Data Engineer /h3 ul libEU: /b €90,000-125,000 /li libUK: /b £90,000-125,000 /li /ul p(The final offer depends on your background, skills, and how you perform through the process.) /p h3What You Will Do /h3 ul liBuild systems that turn complex usage and operational data into trustworthy datasets used for billing, financial reporting, and product decisions. /li liBuild and operate the data platform and pipelines that power these use cases. /li liIntegrate data from across the business — internal systems, third-party tools, and external partners — into one consistent platform. /li liOwn data model ing across the warehouse and set standards for how data is structured as we scale. /li liWork mostly in Python and SQL, with Dagster as our orchestrator. /li liBuild and maintain the cloud infrastructure behind the platform, managed with Terraform. /li liWork directly with stakeholders.
