About the role

  • Senior Data Engineer responsible for data pipelines and backend systems at Kpler. Working with a diverse team to deliver insights on global refinery operations and economics.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and evolve batch and streaming data pipelines that power refinery modeling, analytics, and customer-facing products.
  • Own complex data ingestion, transformation, validation, and delivery workflows across multiple data sources.
  • Drive improvements in pipeline reliability, scalability, and observability, including retries, backfills, data quality checks, and monitoring.
  • Lead schema design, versioning, and evolution strategies to support stable, long-lived data contracts.
  • Build and maintain backend components and APIs used to serve data to downstream systems and applications.
  • Partner closely with data scientists, product managers, and other engineers to translate domain requirements into robust technical solutions.
  • Continuously improve existing systems as data volume, complexity, and product expectations grow.

Requirements

  • Deliver high-quality, well-tested, and maintainable code, setting a strong example for engineering best practices.
  • Own significant parts of the data platform end-to-end, from ingestion to production delivery.
  • Make architectural contributions to data processing, storage, and delivery patterns.
  • Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines, automation, and operational tooling.
  • Instrument services and pipelines with metrics, logs, and alerts, and help define operational standards.
  • Play an active role in incident response, root-cause analysis, and long-term system improvements.
  • Review code, mentor other engineers, and help reinforce shared coding and architectural standards across the team.
  • Exposure to Kafka, Spark, or streaming architectures.
  • Experience with Kubernetes.
  • Familiarity with event-driven or microservices architectures.
  • Exposure to analytical datastores (e.g. Elasticsearch).
  • Full-stack awareness (e.g. ability to read, review, and provide feedback on frontend or API-layer pull requests, without being a primary frontend contributor).
  • Prior experience working on data products in energy, commodities, or industrial domains.
