Data Engineer

Midrand, South Africa (Hybrid)


🚨 YOUR PIPELINES MOVE DATA. OURS MOVE DECISIONS. 🚨

Most Data Engineers build pipelines.
The best ones control outcomes.

Which one are you?


⚡ THIS IS WHERE ENGINEERING MEETS IMPACT

Imagine this:

  • Billions of data points flowing through your pipelines

  • Real-time dashboards exposing risks before they hit production

  • Executives making decisions based on what you built

👉 Not reports. Not noise.
👉 Actionable intelligence. Powered by you.


🔥 WHAT YOU’LL REALLY BE DOING

  • Engineering data flows across the ELK stack at scale

  • Turning raw logs and telemetry into clean, structured insight

  • Building Kibana dashboards that people actually rely on

  • Creating custom Vega / Vega Lite visualisations where others hit limits

  • Designing systems where data is trusted, fast, and decision-ready


đź§  THIS ROLE IS FOR A SPECIFIC TYPE OF ENGINEER

You:

  • See broken dashboards as a personal insult

  • Care about data integrity as much as performance

  • Don’t just move data — you interrogate it

  • Get frustrated when stakeholders can’t use what you built

👉 You want your work to be seen, used, and valued


🎯 WHAT SETS YOU APART

  • Deep experience with ELK Stack (ingestion, indexing, optimisation)

  • Strong Kibana dashboarding and visual storytelling

  • Ability to go beyond limits with Vega / Vega Lite

  • Solid scripting and development skills (Python, Pandas / Polars)

  • Proven ability to turn complex data into clarity


⚠️ THIS IS NOT A “BUILD AND WALK AWAY” ROLE

  • You will own the delivery end-to-end

  • You will work in a fast-moving, high-expectation environment

  • Your dashboards will be used at an operational and executive level

If you prefer:

  • Low ownership

  • Repetitive tasks

  • Minimal visibility

👉 This won’t be the right fit.


🚀 BUT IF YOU’RE THE RIGHT PERSON…

You’ll:

  • Build systems that drive real business decisions

  • Work with high-volume, high-impact network and operational data

  • Be part of a team that values precision, speed, and excellence

  • See your work used, challenged, and trusted at the highest level


⏳ LIMITED OPPORTUNITY

Not everyone can operate at this level.
Not everyone should.

👉 If you’re ready to move from data pipelines to decision engines — apply now.
