Role overview

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Data Engineer for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in Europe. Our client is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing job sites.

We are looking for a Data Engineer to work embedded within the data engineering function, partnering closely with the data platform team to support a large-scale data platform modernization effort. The role centers on migrating approximately 1,000 datasets to Snowflake, with Apache Airflow 3 handling orchestration.
