You’ll formulate a strategy for our data processing and data stores, and own implementation and maintenance of these designs, ensuring continued high performance and availability.
KOKO’s suite of products spans multiple technical domains and disciplines in software and hardware, and so experience in end-to-end systems thinking across distributed components is key for this role. IoT and real time data processing feature heavily in our technology suite.

• Help continually improve ongoing reporting and analysis processes, automating or simplifying self-service use of KOKO’s data (create tools that assist teams in this process).
• Keep our data secure across national boundaries through multiple data centers and AWS regions
• As the team grows, help recruit and manage additional data engineers
• Represent the Data Engineering discipline during sprint planning meetings and retrospectives
• Help build the engineering culture at KOKO, attracting similar minded people with a passion for using technology to tackle hard challenges

What You Will Bring to KOKO
• At least three years experience in software development, data engineering, business intelligence, data science, or a related field
• Advanced working SQL knowledge and experience working with relational databases, query authoring (SQL) as well as working familiarity with a variety of databases.
• A track record of manipulating, processing, and extracting value from large datasets
• Demonstrated strength in data modeling, ETL development and optimisation, and data warehousing
• Experience working with big data technologies (preferably within AWS)
• Experience performing root cause analysis on internal and external data and processes to answer specific business questions and identify opportunities for improvement
• Strong analytic skills related to working with unstructured datasets
• Knowledge of software engineering best practices across the development lifecycle, including agile methodologies, coding standards, code reviews, source management, build processes, testing, and operations
• Strong initiative, project management and organizational skills
• Strong communicator, both written and verbal, who is calm and decisive under pressure
• Proactive approach to knowledge sharing and developing best practices
• Strong experience taking part in sprints, being involved in planning, retrospectives and estimations with cross-functional teams
