About the job

What You'll Be Doing

You will be the core technical driver responsible for stabilizing and transferring our global data assets.

  • Lead Pipeline Migrations: Refactor and transition legacy pipelines into a modernized cloud-native data landscape, ensuring minimal disruption to regional business operations.
  • Ingest Multi-Vertical Data: Build and manage high-volume, resilient ELT pipelines capable of handling highly disparate data streams (ranging from F&B inventory and transactional retail data to event bookings and multi-property operational logs).
  • Solidify the Core Foundation: Establish clean, standardized, and repeatable data engineering frameworks that convert complex, raw data into high-integrity, analytics-ready models.
  • Global Collaboration: Interface with cross-functional and regional teams across various business lines to map data dependencies and build robust ingestion frameworks that adhere to international governance standards.

Who You Are

You are a highly pragmatic, "hands-on" engineer who thrives in the execution phase of a major technical shift. You possess the scale-minded perspective needed to work across a large conglomerate but are eager to focus your energy on raw pipeline construction and data migration.

Your Profile & Technical Toolkit:

  • Experience: 4+ years of solid data engineering experience, ideally with a background in a conglomerate, multi-subsidiary enterprise, or complex-structured environment.
  • Cloud Data Ecosystem: Deep, hands-on production experience with AWS and Snowflake infrastructure.
  • Transformation Tools: Proven track record utilizing Data Build Tool (dbt) for modern data modeling and transformation workflows.
  • Development Practices: Expert fluency in Python, with a strong professional preference for developing within PyCharm.
  • The Migration Mindset: You excel at breaking down monolithic legacy setups, mapping structural dependencies, and systematically migrating data without loss of velocity or accuracy.
  • Communication: Excellent in Cantonese and English
