You are expected to develop, maintain and test data infrastructure for retrieving data from many different data sources into a Data Lakehouse to enable data scientists and analyst to do their jobs. The Backbase Data Team is responsible for extracting data stored from the different systems in use in Backbase to unlock new insights and products built on top of the data platform. At Backbase we aim to deliver a turn-key Data as a Service platform built on top of the state Azure technology.

Captured data ranges from observability metrics to bank accounts and transactions that need to be processed in a highly secure and compliant manner. You guard the data consistency, quality and end to end governance from where data is born to where it is used in dashboards, AI / ML applications and other data consumers.
