Head of Data Engineering & Analytics - Fintech Engineering (M/F/N)

  • Contract

Company Description

Own the data foundation that every financial decision at InPost Pay will stand on.

We are building a scale-up inside InPost, and AI will flow through all of it. You would lead the engine room: from the first raw event to the feature that powers a decision to the report a board reads. You'd be a key member of the Data & AI leadership team, reporting to the Director of Data & AI, with the InPost executive team behind the build. Our word is extreme ownership.

Job Description

The mission
Build a data platform that works as a business asset, not a cost centre.

  • Feature store and lakehouse on Databricks, with point-in-time correctness, freshness guarantees and full lineage.
  • Data quality by default. Freshness, completeness and drift are monitored, and engineers are held to the standards you set.
  • Analytics that move money. Portfolio performance and unit economics become decision-ready numbers, together with Credit Risk and Data Product.
  • Agent-first pipelines. Agents are production components, with guardrails, evals and observability, and you control their cost and latency.
  • Governance as a speed advantage. GDPR-aware by design, audit-ready, and fast to ship.

This is a business function. Every pipeline and every metric exists to create or protect monetary value. You will plan budget, tooling spend and headcount accordingly.

What you'll own:

  • The Data Engineering & Analytics team: hiring, coaching and performance, with Staff Engineers as your architectural anchors.
  • Pipeline and feature-store architecture direction for every data product that credit and decisioning depend on.
  • The platform roadmap, co-authored with the Director of Data & AI and the Data Product Lead.
  • The AI-first engineering standard across the team.

Qualifications

You are:

  • Someone with 7+ years of experience as a Data Engineer and/or Architect and 3+ years leading data engineering or analytics engineering teams.
  • A leader who loves data and loves building systems around it.
  • Hands-on when needed, especially with AI on board. You understand every layer, from ingestion to serving.
  • Proven in lakehouse and feature-store architecture at function scale.
  • Experienced in data-quality, observability and lineage frameworks across a multi-team estate.
  • Experienced in people management across Staff, Senior and Mid levels, plus budget and roadmap planning.
  • Already building agentic systems in production.
  • Fluent in English (B2+).
     

Bonus points for:

  • Fintech regulation awareness (CCD2, PSD2, DORA)
  • Credit-risk or underwriting data
  • Streaming/CDC
  • Scaling a data function through rapid growth
  • Vendor negotiation experience
