Zervant is on a mission to help entrepreneurs succeed. Our service enables entrepreneurs all over Europe to get paid faster for their work. We are the connector between small businesses and financial companies, offering solutions such as invoicing, e-invoicing, financing and other services. We are a growth company whose product is already used by tens of thousands of entrepreneurs in Europe and our goal is to become the most popular invoicing software in Europe.

We are currently looking for a Data Engineer to get a firm grip of all the data we have and make it available for analysis, general data science and reporting.

What you’ll be doing 

As our product and data collection capabilities are continuously improving, we know we have the right data, but we need more hands to get data in the right place and in the right format for it to be useful. Some data needs are near-real-time while others are completely offline - we expect you to be able to choose the right tool for the job. 

You will enable analysis by bringing data from various data sources into a DW. These sources include various relational and document databases as well as APIs and flat files - just to name a few. You will also make analysis easier by pre-processing, data wrangling and sometimes feature engineering. You will own the analytics infrastructure from implementation to maintenance, keeping things running smoothly. 

Responsibilities/requirements: 

• Previous experience of data engineering is a must 
• Hands-on cloud technology skills (We’re on AWS)
• Data Modeling/Warehousing (We're migrating to Snowflake)
• Database optimisation
• Enable analysis by making data accessible through ETL (We use AWS Glue/pyspark, but you can bring your own tools)
• Scripting/programming experience (e.g. Python)
• Production-ready DevOps (needed for customer-facing elements)

Nice to have, or willing to learn:

• Feature engineering/data enrichment
• JavaScript is useful, as we collect a lot of data through our UI layer
• Knowledge of the finance industry is considered a plus

Just as important as the technical requirements is the cultural fit! We want someone who enjoys working and sharing knowledge with others, and who is flexible and accommodating. Our company is based on transparency, bravery and respect. We like to think of ourselves as ambitious, open-minded, fun-loving individuals. Does that sound like you? Great, you’ll fit right in!

Somewhere you look forward to going when you get up every morning, where you have great colleagues and interesting work to keep you going. Find out more about who we are and what we stand for here.
