Senior Data Engineer

TechPods is a British-Bulgarian-owned and managed technology co-sourcing company based in Sofia, Bulgaria. Unlike traditional IT outsourcing companies, our fully transparent model enables companies to scale quicker, while mitigating risk and reducing costs. We strongly believe that traditional outsourcing is obsolete, and the key to long-term success is co-sourcing, not outsourcing.

We’re currently looking for a Data Engineer who will work collaboratively within a fast-driven software development team and act as a key member of the Data and Analytics Team, working directly with various stakeholders from across the business, designing stable and reliable data repositories, proactively monitoring the company’s existing reporting solutions and participating in the design and implementation of the associated data hub, storage and integration environments. The position is available within one of our well-established UK-based partners, which has been on the market for over 30 years, specialising in road safety and training solutions. As the company continues to grow through strategic acquisitions, it is pivoting into AI-driven technologies to enhance its offerings. The team develops core SaaS products, shapes the technological direction, and builds scalable solutions that make a difference.
