Software Engineer, Data Team

Confluence is hiring a Software Engineer for its Data Team. The role focuses on developing a next-generation data platform and data API, migrating legacy data logic into testable Python, and shaping an architecture that can serve multiple data sources.

What you'll do:

• Today the platform is SQL Server-heavy, and part of this role is migrating business and data logic out of legacy stored procedures into testable Python — parameterized SQL for retrieval, pandas for computation and reshaping
• This is a foundational, shaping role: you will help define the architecture and direction of that next-generation platform, not just maintain what exists
• The role is primarily focused on the data API, but it is a team role rather than a single-service one — you will work across the data platform as it grows
• This is backend- and data-centric work: you will spend more time on data correctness, performance, and the movement and reconciliation of large datasets across heterogeneous sources than on any single framework or UI library
• We value depth in the core technologies and engineering fundamentals over expertise in any specific component, and we expect enough Azure and DevOps capability to deploy and operate what you build

What they're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering/development, Computer Science, or related field
• 1-3 years of experience in software development
• Strong proficiency in Python (3.12+) backend development — FastAPI, Pydantic v2, async/await — and T-SQL, with deep comfort in the data and service layers of an enterprise application
• Expert-level SQL Server and data engineering: parameterized query authoring, query optimization and execution-plan analysis, indexing strategy, set-based processing, and bulk / ETL data movement and large-dataset performance tuning — plus comfort migrating logic out of legacy stored procedures into Python
• Exposure to modern cloud data platforms and warehouses (e.g. Snowflake) and an interest in integrating multiple, heterogeneous data sources — each just another SQLAlchemy dialect — behind a unified API

Benefits:

• Generous Time Off packages including additional half days with each public holiday in your location.
• Global Career Development opportunities
• Social Events
• Referral Bonus scheme - Upto $3,000 per successful referral
• Flexible working options for all employees.
