Responsibilities:
- Design a multi-tenant Data Lakehouse architecture
- Build tenant data isolation across all layers: storage, catalog, data marts, and access.
- Build ingestion and stream processing via Kafka: website/app events, transactions, bets, bonuses, and partner data.
- Develop batch/ELT pipelines and transformations in dbt with per-tenant logic.
- Orchestrate pipelines in Apache Airflow, including onboarding of new tenants.
- Design data marts and the serving layer in ClickHouse for fast B2B analytics and BI.
- Implement access segregation: tenant-aware roles, and access auditing.
- Set up data quality, monitoring, alerting, and tenant-level documentation.
- Optimize cost and query performance as the number of tenants grows.
- Participate in tool selection and architectural decisions.
- Work with analysts, BI, and product teams: turn raw data into clear and reliable datasets for B2B clients.
- Account for security, isolation, and, where applicable, iGaming regulatory requirements.

- 6+ years in Data Engineering.
- Advanced SQL and strong Python.
- Experience designing data warehouses/data lakes
