About Kojo
It’s time to build. Whether it’s creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.
Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.
We’re looking for a talented Data Engineer to join our team on a 6-month remote contract based in India. In this role, you’ll play a critical part in designing, maintaining, and optimizing our data pipeline architecture. You’ll implement best practices for data warehouse design and ensure our ETL processes run efficiently and reliably as we scale.
Key Responsibilities:
Manage ELT processes using Stitch, including configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting
Maintain and update AWS Data Migration Service (DMS) tasks for data replication from PostgreSQL to Redshift, with emphasis on Change Data Capture (CDC) implementations
Design, implement, and optimize data models within our Redshift data warehouse following best practices
Develop and maintain data transformation pipelines using Python, dbt, AWS Lambda, and Dagster
Create and maintain data marts for various business domains
Support containerized applications running on AWS EKS (Kubernetes)
Collaborate with engineering team to ensure data quality and accessibility
Required Skills & Experience
Strong understanding of data warehouse concepts and dimensional modeling
Proficiency with PostgreSQL and Amazon Redshift
Experience with AWS Data Migration Service and Change Data Capture methodologies
Hands-on experience with ELT/ETL tools, particularly Stitch
Proficiency in Python programming for data transformation and pipeline development
Experience with dbt for data transformations and testing
Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools, specifically Dagster
Knowledge of Apache Superset for data visualization
Understanding of containerization concepts, Kubernetes, and AWS EKS
Strong SQL skills for complex data manipulations and optimizations
Ability to implement and maintain efficient data pipeline architectures
