Let's start with the role

At Kaizen, our commitment to the unparalleled value of data drives every decision we make. Expanding from our robust Lake House architecture, we envision a transformative shift towards a Data Mesh architecture. This approach emphasizes treating data as a product with well-defined contracts, distributed ownership, and domain-oriented design.

As we aim to further enhance our data ecosystem, we’re focusing keenly on data democratization, governance and observability. The ideal scenario? To have every piece of data perfectly accessible, monitored and governed.

Our data tribe is well-prepared to lead this transition, championing the design and expansion of next-generation Data Products. By joining our crew, you’ll be part of an initiative that positions Kaizen at the forefront of data-driven innovation.

Our Tech Stack includes Spark, Python (or Scala), Databricks, Delta, Apache Airflow, Gitlab, Grafana and more.

• Contribute to the development of a scalable and secure Data Platform aligned with the Data Mesh paradigm;
• Design, implement and improve tools and services for orchestration, observability, data governance and data quality to high engineering standards;
• Deploy and manage our products using CI/CD best practices following the ‘you build it, you run it’ culture;
• Stay current on emerging technologies, methodologies and industry best practices to ensure continuous improvement of the data platform; 
• Champion a culture of documentation, where the technical documentation lives along with our products and ensures they are easy to use and maintain.
