As a Data Engineer, you will help establish and deliver the Romanian data platform, creating a single source of truth to replace data currently spread across finance, reporting and local systems. The platform uses a Databricks lakehouse, dbt and Looker, with an existing UK build providing the foundation. You will be the first engineer on the ground in Romania, supported by UK data engineers at the London HQ and working closely with the Romania CFO, finance and asset management teams. The role is permanent and full-time, based on site in the Romania office, with the first month spent in London for onboarding. The role is mid-level to senior and requires 3–5 years of commercial experience as a data or analytics engineer.

What you would do

- Get the Romania reporting working from day one by tying up loose ends, tracking progress and closing gaps in what has already been built.

- Own end-to-end delivery of the Romania data platform, including production pipelines, dbt models and Looker reporting on top of Charisma, the finance system, and other data sources.

- Automate manual finance reporting, including accounts receivable and overdue reporting, consolidation, property P&L and supplier reporting.

- Integrate data currently held in Excel and Power BI and support development asset cash-flow modelling across the project portfolio.

- Work directly with finance and asset management teams to understand project status and translate business needs into technical work.

- Work closely with the Romania CFO through a functional reporting line to prioritise and tackle the most significant problems first.
