Full-time. Remote. B2B. Working time zone: EET (Ukraine). Location of candidates: Ukraine
The company: It is a US-based Managed IT Services (MSP) company, founded in 2016. Services: IT management, user support, cybersecurity, cloud solutions (Microsoft Azure, M365), and data engineering. Core clients: Hedge funds, investment and asset management firms (financial sector focus) across North America, Europe, and Asia.
About the role As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining robust data pipelines and cloud-native solutions that support scalable analytics and operational efficiency. This role requires deep expertise in Python programming, Azure cloud services, and SQL-based data modeling, with a strong emphasis on automation, reliability, and security.
Currently, the data processing system is built entirely in pure Python, without external ETL or data integration platforms (such as Snowflake or Data Factory). The company plans to continue relying on Python as the core technology for data processing, making it essential that the new engineer has strong, hands-on expertise in Python-based ETL development — including automation, testing, error handling, and code stability. You will play a key role in evolving the current data platform as the company moves toward adopting Microsoft Fabric, while maintaining core Python ETL logic.
