Hi there 👋
As Factorial continues scaling our mission of boosting the next generation of people-first SMB’s, we’re hiring Senior Data Engineers to scale our Engineering team. **
The Team**
Factorial’s mission is to empower business make better decisions , and data is a key component in achieving so.
Our Team is responsible of unlocking communication between the different areas despite the technological stack by offering a self service platform that allows fast data driven products.
We act under the data mesh principle and we’re not afraid to build whatever is necessary to fulfil our neighbour team’s needs.
Our data platform is already offering the following services:
- Ingestion (SaaS APIs - Airbyte, DDBBs - Debezium, Streams - Kafka Connect)
- Storage (Data Lake - Delta, Stream Storage- Kafka)
- Catalogue (Atlan)
- Modeling (Metabolic)
- Activation (Hightouch)

Our web stack is Ruby on Rails for the backend and React/React-native for the clients, and we interact with Data through SQL on AWS, but it’s not mandatory to be proficient in those (most of the team came with other areas of expertise which is very enriching).
