Description:
Role: Senior Data Engineer
- At 5X, we help companies organize their data and make it actionable.

- We are currently hiring a Senior Data Engineer in Medellin, Colombia with strong background in Data Modelling and Visualization. This is a remote opportunity but as we build more presence in Colombia our intention is to meet on Fridays' for lunch or even work out of a co-working space periodically to spend time in person.
