Data Engineer (5+ years of experience)

COMPANY OVERVIEW At ARRAY, we're not just another software services company—we're a team of dreamers, innovators, and trailblazers! From startup grit to big-tech aspirations, we're on a mission to redefine technology, put Bahrain on the global tech map, and grow into a powerhouse that inspires. If you're ready to be part of an exciting journey, we want you on our team! KEY RESPONSIBILITIES • Data Modelling: Design schemas and semantic layers (medallion bronze/silver/gold) that power AI-driven applications and analytics. • ETL & Pipeline Architecture: Build and orchestrate ETL/ELT pipelines (batch and streaming) using Airflow and dbt, feeding cloud data warehouses and lakes. • Lakehouse & Storage Architecture: Design and maintain data lake and lakehouse solutions using open table formats (Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, or Hudi) over object storage, balancing cost, performance, and query flexibility. • Database Engineering: Manage relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) supporting both transactional and analytical workloads, including performance tuning, replication, and migration between systems. • Data Governance: Implement role-based access control, permission-aware retrieval, reconciliation, and data quality monitoring across data platforms. • Cloud & Platform Integration: Deploy and operate data workloads on our Kubernetes-native platform (ArgoCD, Terraform) alongside core AWS services. MUST-HAVE SKILLS • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a STEM-based subject. • 5+ years of experience in data or software engineering. • Strong SQL and Python (or Java) skills. • Hands-on experience building ETL/ELT pipelines using orchestration tools such as Airflow. • Experience with cloud data warehouses and lakehouse architectures (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Apache Iceberg, or Delta Lake). • Strong database fundamentals — schema design, indexing, query optimization — across relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) and NoSQL systems. • Experience with unstructured data stores (Vector DBs, Document DBs) supporting AI/ML retrieval use cases. • Working knowledge of containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) for deploying data workloads. • CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar). • Working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar). • Proficiency with version control (Git). • Strong written and verbal English communication skills. NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS • Apache Spark for large-scale batch and distributed data processing. • Exposure to streaming/CDC tools (Kafka, Debezium, or Kinesis). • Experience with data catalog and metadata management tools (Glue Data Catalog, DataHub, or Amundsen). • Familiarity with Power BI dashboarding and reporting. • AWS, Azure, or GCP certification. • Experience migrating legacy on-prem databases to cloud-native platforms. • Observability stack — Prometheus, Grafana.
