Our Client

Our client is an advanced influence measurement platform that sits on top of first-party customer data to quantify peer-to-peer influence and behavior drivers. By running sophisticated network-graph models and data pipelines inside client environments without using social media data, they unlock previously invisible revenue channels and influence metrics for high-growth brands and enterprises.

Responsibilities
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will:
- Deploy, configure, and execute data pipelines directly within client environments, performing precise field-level data mapping between customer schemas and internal platform data models.

- Lead the technical translation and migration of existing backend data pipelines, workloads, and cloud infrastructure from Microsoft Azure over to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Design, build, and optimize Python-native data engineering pipelines, leveraging BigQuery as the primary high-performance datastore.
- Establish and manage cloud infrastructure and orchestration workflows using tools such as Cloud Run, Apache Airflow, or similar native GCP services.
- Configure Vertex AI for model registry and ML platforms, and utilize Spark/PySpark to optimize computationally intensive tasks such as network-graph calculations.
- Leverage AI-assisted developer tooling (e.g., GitHub Copilot) for efficient code generation, review, and overall engineering productivity.

Must-Haves
- Core Data Engineering Skills: 4+ years of hands-on proficiency in Python and extensive experience using Google BigQuery as a core input/output storage engine.
- Orchestration & Infrastructure: Experience setting up cloud infrastructure and orchestrating data workflows (Airflow, Cloud Run, or equivalent).
- Client-Facing / Forward-Deployed Mindset: Experience adapting standard engineering solutions to diverse, client-specific schemas and environment constraints.

Nice-to-Haves
- Experience porting data pipelines and infrastructure from Microsoft Azure to GCP.
- Official Google Cloud certification (e.g., Associate Cloud Engineer, Professional Data Engineer, or Professional Cloud Architect).
- Experience with Apache Spark or PySpark for complex data processing (e.g., network graph calculations).
- Hands-on experience with Vertex AI for AI platform setups and model management.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted software development tools like GitHub Copilot.

- Trust-based culture: We highly value ownership and we trust in our team's skills and seniority to achieve goals.
- Remote work: Enjoy working remotely! We are spread-headed in different locations in LATAM and Europe.
- Flexible time off policy.
- Diverse & Impactful Projects: Engage with complex challenges for major players in Media & Entertainment, alongside innovative startups in Solar Energy, Compliance, and other dynamic sectors.
- Learning and development: Get the opportunity to take English classes, trainings and certifications.
- Referral Program: We value connection! Our referral program provides bonuses for successful referrals.

- Strong culture and traditions: We foster a supportive and engaging work environment, highlighted by our annual “Binagora Week”, regular team gatherings and gifts for special occasions.
