Principal Data Engineer

Ryz Labs is seeking a Principal Data Engineer who can design, build, and own modern data platforms end-to-end: from ingestion pipelines and cloud infrastructure through to high-quality, production-grade code. You’ll pair traditional data-engineering strengths with solid software-development practices to deliver resilient data products that scale. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in high-pressure environments, values straight talk, and takes deep pride in craftsmanship, even when requirements are ambiguous. Key responsibilities include designing & building pipelines using Python, SQL, and Spark/Databricks, engineering infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) via IaC frameworks, applying software-craft disciplines, authoring design artefacts, monitoring & optimizing performance, championing data quality & governance, and collaborating cross-functionally.
