About this role
Exadel is hiring a Senior Data Engineer for an education technology client that builds digital learning platforms serving institutions globally. You'd be based in-office in Brazil, CO on a contract role, working with a distributed team across US Mountain Time.
The position sits at the intersection of data infrastructure and full-stack development. Your core focus would be designing and maintaining scalable ELT pipelines using SQL and dbt, optimizing data transformations, and managing infrastructure through Terraform. Beyond the data layer, you'd also contribute to web application development using Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, and React—meaning this isn't a pure data engineering track but rather a hybrid role that requires hands-on capability across the stack. You'd collaborate with data, product, and engineering teams to integrate solutions end-to-end, participate in code reviews, and own troubleshooting and continuous improvement of both pipelines and applications.
The role demands strong fundamentals in SQL, dbt, and ELT processes, plus practical experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code. You'll need proven web development experience across backend and frontend technologies, solid problem-solving skills oriented toward production reliability, and the ability to work effectively with US-based colleagues. Be aware that you'd participate in an on-call rotation—one primary week and one backup week per four-week cycle. Experience with Snowflake, AWS, Apache Airflow, Looker, Python, and GitHub workflows would be advantageous. Intermediate to upper-intermediate English is required.
