Enverus has a dynamic hub for developing software in Brno, Czech Republic, and you can learn more about our team, company culture, and benefits here .
Our Data Engineering team builds and maintains the pipelines that manufacture and deliver energy-related data powering Enverus's customer-facing applications. Following a major data acquisition, we are expanding our team to integrate a large library of well log and subsurface geology data into our existing infrastructure - standardizing pipelines, resolving overlaps across massive datasets, and building new downstream connections into our applications. Longer term, this work extends into AI-assisted data extraction and integration with Enverus's AI-enabled platform.
We are looking for a Lead Data Engineer who combines strong hands-on engineering with demonstrated experience leading a technical team, and the ability to coordinate with product management and influence technical direction across the organization.
The Team:
You will join a collaborative, fast-moving team of data engineers who own the full lifecycle of data manufacturing, from ingestion through transformation and delivery. We move quickly and hold a high bar for code quality and system design. Engineers here work on meaningful problems across cloud infrastructure, pipeline architecture, and AI integration. As Lead, you will shape how the team works, what it builds next, and how it grows.
What you will do:

• Guide the day-to-day operations of the data engineering team, coordinating with product management to set priorities and align engineering efforts.
• Build and maintain scalable data manufacturing pipelines using Databricks or equivalent MPP ETL platforms, PySpark, and modern ETL patterns.
• Integrate new energy and geoscience data sources into existing pipelines and applications, and lead the standardization of pipelines across large, overlapping datasets.
• Drive the integration of LLM and GenAI technologies into data extraction and transformation workflows, including AI-assisted well log digitization.
• Break complex projects into milestones, identify cross-team issues and opportunities, and lead collaborative solutions.
• Mentor and develop engineers on the team, and provide feedback across projects.
• Influence technology choices and engineering standards for the broader organization, and serve as the go-to expert in key areas of the data platform.

What skills you should have:

• Prior experience in a technical lead or team lead role.
• Proficiency with ETL pipeline development using Databricks, Snowflake, or a comparable MPP data platform, and PySpark.
• Experience with data modeling, lineage tracking, and schema management.
• Hands-on experience with pipeline orchestration tools such as Airflow, Prefect, or similar.
• Familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps practices for data pipelines using GitHub.
• Hands-on experience with cloud technologies including AWS S3, IAM, and Lambda.
• Experience with relational databases such as SQL Server or PostgreSQL.

Skills that stand out:

• Experience integrating LLM or GenAI technologies into data workflows, including tools such as Amazon Bedrock and Claude Code.
• Experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform or equivalent.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or ArgoCD for infrastructure and deployment automation.
• Background in energy or geoscience domain data.

Our Technology Stack:
Databricks, Unity Catalog, PySpark, Python, AWS S3, AWS IAM, AWS Lambda, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, GitHub, Airflow, Prefect, Amazon Bedrock, Claude Code, ElasticSearch, ArcGIS, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Terraform
