Data Pipeline Engineer

Midrand, South Africa (Hybrid)


πŸš€ Data Pipeline Engineer (Mid-Level)

Build the Data Engine Behind Intelligent Decision Making

Some people look at dashboards.
Others build the pipelines that make those dashboards possible.

πŸ”₯ We are looking for engineers who care about the integrity, scalability, and performance of data systems that power real operational insight.

At Jurumani Solutions, we are building modern analytics and automation platforms for one of the leading telecommunications organisations in the country, and we are looking for a Data Pipeline Engineer who thrives on solving complex data challenges at scale.

This is not a passive reporting role.
This is not just moving data from A to B.

πŸ’‘ This is an opportunity to engineer the ingestion, transformation, and operational intelligence pipelines that support critical analytics, visibility, and business decision making.

If you enjoy building robust ETL/ELT pipelines, optimising data flows, working with the ELK stack, and solving large scale data engineering challenges, this role was built for you.


πŸ› οΈ What You’ll Be Building

You will help engineer and operate the data backbone powering analytics and visualisation platforms across large-scale environments.

Your work will include:

⚑ Building and maintaining robust ETL and ELT pipelines
⚑ Ingesting and transforming high-volume log, event, and operational data
⚑ Developing scalable Python-based data transformation logic
⚑ Managing schemas, data evolution, and analytical structures
⚑ Performing historical reprocessing and data corrections
⚑ Supporting data reliability, observability, and platform optimisation

You will work across structured, semi-structured, and log-based datasets ranging from thousands to millions of transactions per day.

🌍 Your work will directly impact operational visibility, reporting accuracy, platform intelligence, and business decision-making.


πŸ” Your ELK Playground

The ELK stack sits at the centre of this ecosystem.

You will help operate and optimise:

βœ… Elasticsearch
βœ… Logstash
βœ… Kibana
βœ… Beats
βœ… Index lifecycle management
βœ… Sharding and cluster performance tuning
βœ… Data ingestion pipelines
βœ… Query optimisation and analytical performance

You will also collaborate closely with the Data Analyst to ensure data is clean, accessible, meaningful, and analytics-ready.


🧠 The Kind of Engineer Who Thrives Here

You are probably the type of person who:

βœ”οΈ Notices inefficiencies before others do
βœ”οΈ Loves solving data and performance bottlenecks
βœ”οΈ Gets satisfaction from clean, reliable systems
βœ”οΈ Cares deeply about correctness and data quality
βœ”οΈ Enjoys building things that scale properly
βœ”οΈ Thinks proactively instead of waiting for instructions
βœ”οΈ Wants ownership and technical trust
βœ”οΈ Enjoys learning new technologies and improving continuously

πŸ’₯ You understand that bad data creates bad decisions.
πŸ’₯ You take pride in building reliable systems.
πŸ’₯ You enjoy engineering solutions that make complex environments simpler.
