Senior Data Engineer (Relocate to Shanghai, Beijing or Singapore)

Airwallex is a global payments fintech company transforming the way businesses move and manage money globally. We have built a global financial infrastructure platform to help businesses transact, collect and pay across 130+ countries and 50+ currencies, without the constraints of the traditional global financial system. We've grown to 13 global locations and have raised over $900 million in funding. To support our ambitious growth plans, we’re looking for smart, collaborative and passionate people who are looking to make a genuine impact.

At Airwallex, you will work closely with a group of talented engineers with a passion for learning through solving the most challenging problems with cutting-edge technology. In this Data Engineering role, you need to have systemic thinking with data content architectural design and will be building a metrics layer to handle data at a massive scale. And you will be building robust data modeling to produce high-quality, consistent, structured data for running business applications and enabling less tech-savvy colleagues to do self-service analytics. In short, you will make Airwallex to be a truly data-driven organization. We are looking for talented senior Data Engineers excited about redefining what it means to do Data Engineering. However, we also recognize that each Data Engineer has a unique blend of skills. Whether your strength is in data modeling or data processing, we want to talk to you.
