Data Engineer - Colombia

At Slalom, we co-create custom software, data, and cloud products with clients who are ready to accelerate their digital transformation. We’re passionate about technology and compelled by its potential — building digital products, experiences, and technology-driven organizations that drive true change.

Our Data Architecture & Engineering team sees data as the foundation for decision-making, artificial intelligence, and transformation. We embrace AI to scale with quality, innovate without fear, and use technology with purpose to unlock the full potential of data and create lasting impact.

We demonstrate every day that talent, creativity, and technical excellence have no borders by delivering world-class solutions that inspire people to dream big and move faster.

As a Data Engineer at Slalom, you will work in collaborative teams to deliver innovative, scalable solutions across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform technologies. You’ll stay ahead of emerging technologies and help shape the next generation of data platforms for some of the most forward-thinking organizations in data and analytics.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Designing and implementing components of clients’ data platform solutions, typically working under the direction of a Solution Architect
