Data Engineer  

Mission

We are building a data team (think startup within a startup) that works on structuring Xendit’s data in a way that useful products can be made. For example, how do we detect fraud across multiple transactions and build a fraud model that provides useful information to our merchant customers.

We're looking for an experienced data engineer to bring structure to our vast amounts of data, making it digestible and build a data product business at scale. You would be responsible for building scalable data products that can be accessed by our customers via world class APIs.

Outcomes

• Create technical requirements/specifications based on product definitions
• Build that product based on data from our customers, our own transactions and external third party vendors
• Acquire and integrate data from third party sources using a range of approaches
• Create API reference materials for products so that customers can use them
• Scale infrastructure to make sure that products can support exponential growth in demand
• Design alerting and testing to ensure accuracy and timeliness of data processing
• Build efficient and scalable data pipelines to meet the various needs to enable data-driven decisions across Xendit
• Build foundational infrastructure for internal BI systems, including creation of fact tables
• Identify and integrate new tools into our data stack
• Ensure the security and privacy of sensitive customer data

What we care about

• Solve for the customer first: You build what customers want. You think about what is right for customers, not what is easiest for you
