Lead Data Engineer (Product)

IT-Impulse is expanding to Bulgaria, with an office in Sofia, where we are building a local team of IT specialists. We represent a Software Engineering division of the international company JobImpulse GmbH with more than 9.000 employees in 51 locations in 12 countries and we act as an intermediary between the IT software development department and highly qualified IT specialists on the job market.

IT-Impulse with its offices in Seville (Spain) and Kosice (Slovakia) is the point of contact when it comes to IT Outsourcing and Nearshoring.

We are building a modern, customer-facing data platform used across multiple digital products. We’re hiring a Lead Data Engineer (Product) to be the founding data hire and to build the core data products, dashboards, and AI-ready datasets that will power the next generation of our solutions.

This is a product-oriented, customer-facing role — not a traditional BI position.

What You’ll Do:

• Build and architect a unified Microsoft Fabric data platform
• Create ingestion pipelines and scalable data models across property, asset, compliance, contractor, and financial domains
• Deliver persona-based dashboards for property managers, owners, leaseholders, and on-site teams
• Build automated reporting (“board-ready at the click of a button”)
• Enable conversational analytics (“chat with my buildings”) using AI-ready datasets
• Collaborate with AI Innovation & Data Architecture on LLM features, predictive analytics, and long-term standards
• Act as a data product architect — setting foundations, patterns, and ways of working

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Have:

Essential:

• Strong background in data engineering, analytics engineering, or hybrid roles
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric / Azure data technologies
• Excellent SQL + good Python
• Experience delivering customer-facing dashboards or reporting products
• Knowledge of dimensional modelling, semantic layers, governance, data quality, and data contracts
• Experience preparing datasets for AI/LLM-based natural language querying

Desirable:

• Experience in property, asset, maintenance, or compliance domains
• Exposure to predictive modelling or ML-driven product features
• Familiarity with embedded analytics, multi-tenant permissions, and RLS
• Experience in early-stage or scaling data teams

What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months):

• A live, scalable Fabric-based data platform powering customer-facing experiences
• Persona-based dashboards rolled out across multiple products
• Automated reporting engine widely adopted
• Conversational analytics enabled through structured, AI-ready datasets
• Platform supports predictive analytics (risk scoring, forecasting, asset failure prediction)
• Strong foundations and standards established for future data and AI hires

What you get:

• Long-term and stable position, an employment contract for an indefinite period
• Environment of a medium-sized company together with the background and opportunities of a large company
• +5 extra days of vacation
• Employee referral program (up to 3.000 EUR per referral)
• Yearly performance and salary review
• Food vouchers
• Jubilee gifts
• Flexible working hours
• Stocked kitchen with free drinks (freshly roasted coffee)
