Job Description

Salmon is a technology-driven financial company building a banking and lending platform across Southeast Asia, starting in the Philippines. 7M+ app downloads. 2M+ monthly active users. 7000+ partner stores. US$350M+ raised from top-tier investors. Here, you get real ownership from day one, high standards, and direct communication. You'll work alongside a team that combines deep local knowledge and experience scaling regulated financial companies from scratch. If you want to solve complex problems at scale and directly impact how millions of people access and manage money, come build with us. Southeast Asia's fintech moment starts here. About The Role You'll build and scale the data platform that powers decisions across Salmon — owning pipelines end to end so data flows reliably from source to insight. What You'll Do Design and run batch and streaming pipelines on Databricks and Apache Spark over AWS, ingesting from databases, APIs, and event streams. Shape our lakehouse architecture on S3 and Delta Lake, including medallion (Bronze / Silver / Gold) layering and storage optimization. Work directly with analytics, engineering, and product teams to turn raw data into reliable, usable inputs for the business. What You'll Own Build and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines that are fault-tolerant, cost-optimized, and performant on AWS. Optimize Spark jobs end to end — cluster sizing, caching, joins, shuffles, partitioning, and storage formats (Parquet, Delta). Manage Databricks Workflows, jobs, and cluster configurations, and respond to failures and performance issues. Implement data governance and access control with Unity Catalog across accounts and environments. Protect data correctness and reliability across the platform. What Makes You a Strong Fit Hands-on experience with Databricks and strong proficiency in Apache Spark (PySpark and/or Scala). Strong Python for data engineering, plus SQL and Spark SQL for transformation and analytics. Experience with Delta Lake and lakehouse architectures, including performance optimization. Experience writing clean, testable, maintainable code with Git-based version control. Ability to work independently and own pipelines end to end.
