Data Engineer

Role Description

As a Data Engineer on the Data Platform team, you'll help design, build, and evolve the data infrastructure that powers analytics, AI, and machine learning across VTEX. This is a hands-on, mid-level role: you'll own features end-to-end — from ingestion and processing to storage and consumption — taking on problems that come with real ambiguity, and delivering them with growing independence.

We're not looking for someone who arrives knowing everything. We're looking for someone with a strong engineering foundation and a high ceiling: a fast learner with sharp problem-solving instincts who is energized by a data platform going through a deep transformation of its architecture and the way it's built.

Qualifications

• Think like a platform builder.
• Comfortable with modern data architectures — data warehouses, data lakes, and data lakehouses.
• Proficient in Python and its data-processing ecosystem, SQL.
• Experience with cloud data platforms (AWS preferred; GCP/Azure welcome).
• Data-driven mindset.
• Proficient with AI assistants and code-generation tools.
• Clear communication in writing — specs, docs, and design notes.

Requirements

• Own a piece of the platform from design through to production with minimal supervision.
• Understand the trade-offs that shape a platform others depend on.
• Produce work that is idempotent, reproducible, and documented.
• Define how the impact of your work will be measured before you build it.
• Design solutions that thoughtfully consider when and how AI should be used.
• Collaborate well across engineering and non-engineering peers.

Benefits

• Annual profit-sharing program and equity eligibility.
• Health, dental, and life insurance with national coverage provided by VTEX.
• Annual budget for professional development in Tech.
• Language development incentive program (English, Spanish, Portuguese).
• Flexible meal allowance.
• Extended parental leaves.
• Child-care assistance.
• Flexible work schedule and remote-first culture.
• Financial assistance to build your work-from-home setup.
• Wellness program.
• Free shipping on 1000+ VTEX stores.
