Data Engineer (Integration)

his position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Data Engineer (Integration) in United Kingdom.

This is a highly technical and impactful role within a modern data platform team focused on building and scaling reliable integrations between external systems and internal data infrastructure. You will work at the core of a data-driven environment where automation, performance, and system reliability are critical to business success. The role involves designing robust API-based integration solutions, ensuring seamless data flows, and supporting mission-critical backend services deployed in cloud-native environments. You will collaborate closely with engineering, product, and data teams to enhance platform scalability and operational efficiency. Operating in a fully remote and fast-moving setup, you will take ownership of end-to-end integration lifecycles while contributing to continuous infrastructure improvements. This position is ideal for a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges in distributed systems.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable integrations between external third-party platforms and internal systems using Python-based services.
• Develop and operate backend integration services running on AWS serverless architecture, including Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, and EventBridge.
• Implement and manage key integration mechanisms such as authentication flows, token refresh logic, retries, pagination, polling, and asynchronous processing.
• Take ownership of integrations end-to-end, including development, deployment, monitoring, incident resolution, and ongoing optimization.
• Monitor production systems, troubleshoot integration issues, and ensure high reliability and performance of data pipelines.
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and data teams to support system scalability and operational improvements.
• Write and maintain automated tests to ensure stability, accuracy, and resilience of integration services.
• Contribute to Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives and continuous improvement of cloud infrastructure and deployment practices.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in backend engineering, data engineering, or integration-focused roles in production environments.
• Strong proficiency in Python and proven experience building and maintaining API-based integrations.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, EventBridge, Secrets Manager, SSM Parameter Store, and CloudWatch.
• Solid understanding of REST APIs, integration patterns, and distributed system design.
• Experience implementing authentication flows, retry mechanisms, polling strategies, and asynchronous processing workflows.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, particularly in complex third-party integration environments.
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools for cloud provisioning and infrastructure management.
• Proven ability to write and maintain automated tests for backend or data integration services.
• Comfortable working independently with strong ownership of technical deliverables.
• Experience with Airflow or similar orchestration tools is a plus.
• Exposure to CRM/ESP platforms, affiliate marketing environments, or iGaming data structures is considered an advantage.
• Familiarity with AI coding assistants or agents in daily development workflows (minimum 6 months experience) is a plus.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary package.
• Fully remote role across Europe with flexibility in work location.
• Flexible working hours supporting a strong work-life balance.
• Opportunity to work on scalable, high-impact data integration systems.
• Collaborative and ownership-driven engineering culture.
• Exposure to modern cloud technologies and complex data ecosystems.
• Continuous learning and professional development opportunities.
