Why join Safeguard Global? 👀
We want to help you “work in any way” — that means making time for family, commitments, and life outside of work so that you can have the best of both worlds. When you own what you do and are driven to deliver, you have the flexibility to decide where and how you work. 🚀
Our roles aren’t just remote and hybrid first — they break free from the traditional ways of doing things, paving a way for a job that works for you. ✅
How You Will Make a Difference

- Own data architecture and schema design — making structural decisions that serve AI products, analytics, and operational consumers over time
- Set technical direction for the data engineering team, establishing standards for quality, reliability, and production readiness
- Drive data governance at an engineering level — data quality, lineage, ownership, and cataloguing
- Build data infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, ensuring consistency and reproducibility across environments
- Partner with the AI engineering team to ensure the data platform is AI-ready: clean, structured, and consumable at scale
- Mentor and develop data engineers, building a team capability that is durable and not person-dependent
- Contribute to strategic technical decisions and work closely with the Head of AI on platform direction

- Strong expertise in dbt for building and maintaining transformation layers at scale

- Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform
- Deep capability in data architecture and schema design across complex, multi-domain environments
- Track record of leading a data engineering team or function and raising the technical bar
- Ability to influence technical direction across teams without direct authority
Nice to Have:
