Join us as a Data Engineer (Payments / Orchestration) on our mission to turn payments into possibilities!

Data Engineer (Payments / Orchestration)

You will own the foundation of our payments data platform, ensuring that transaction data is reliable, consistent, and production-grade from ingestion through consumption.

This role is responsible for building and maintaining high-quality data pipelines, enforcing data contracts, and ensuring event integrity across the system.

This is not a reporting role. You are responsible for making sure the data exists, is correct, and can be trusted at scale.

We are a high-velocity team. You are expected to leverage AI tools to accelerate development, analysis, and problem-solving.

How You Will Make an Impact:

• Build and maintain reliable data pipelines

• Design and operate ETL / ELT pipelines that process high-volume transaction data

• Ensure data is delivered accurately and on time across all downstream systems

• Ensure database performance and reliability

• Manage and optimize databases for performance, scalability, and uptime

• Prevent bottlenecks and ensure systems can handle production load

• Enforce data contracts and schema consistency

• Define and enforce schemas across services and pipelines

• Ensure event integrity and prevent breaking changes across systems

• Improve data reliability and observability

• Implement monitoring, alerting, and logging across data systems

• Detect and resolve data issues before they impact the business

• Enable event traceability and consistency

• Ensure events can be traced end-to-end across systems

• Support debugging and root cause analysis for data discrepancies

• Raise the bar on engineering velocity

• Leverage AI tools like OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and Claude (or equivalent) to accelerate development and debugging

• Improve speed of delivery without compromising reliability

Skills you will have fine-tuned:

• Designing and operating production-grade data pipelines

• Building scalable ETL / ELT systems for high-throughput event data

• Managing dependencies, failures, and recovery strategies

• Database performance and system reliability

• Tuning databases for performance and cost efficiency

• Designing systems that remain stable under load

• Schema design and data contract enforcement

• Creating robust schemas that evolve safely over time

• Preventing downstream breakages through strong contract discipline

• Data observability and incident response

• Implementing monitoring systems that surface issues early

• Debugging complex, distributed data failures

• Event-driven architecture and data consistency

• Ensuring consistency across distributed systems

• Building traceability into event flows for auditability and debugging

• AI-accelerated engineering workflows

• Using AI tools to generate, review, and optimize pipeline code

• Improving debugging speed and system understanding with AI assistance

• Continuously refining how AI is used to increase output and code quality

• You appreciate working with managed services and serverless architecture

• You naturally pay attention to detail

• You are eager to bring your unique talents and authenticity to the CellPoint Digital community

• You're constantly curious and a lifelong learner

• You approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset

What's in it for you:

• We offer you the opportunity to be an innovator, challenge the status quo, and redefine the payments category

• Competitive salary in a fast-growing start-up

• Medical insurance with coverage for dependents (parents, spouse, children)

• Opportunity for personal and professional growth in a dynamic industry 

Please note, we retain applicant data for 12 months for recruitment purposes and future opportunities, after which it is securely deleted. At CellPoint Digital we are committed to be globally compliant with robust data protection.
