About the role
**Data Engineers \| Databricks, AWS \& Python \| VP \| Singapore**
Are you a hands\-on data engineering leader who wants to shape enterprise\-scale platforms with direct investment impact?
I’m partnering with one of the world’s largest global investment organisations to hire multiple VP\-level Data Engineers in Singapore.
You’ll lead the design and delivery of modern data platforms supporting portfolio management, trading, risk and investment operations. These roles combine hands\-on coding, technical leadership and senior stakeholder engagement.
**No Finance Experience Required**
Financial\-markets experience is not essential. The team welcomes experienced data engineering leaders from technology companies, global banks, fintech firms, consultancies and other data\-intensive organisations.
**What You’ll Be Doing**
* Lead the design and delivery of enterprise data and analytics platforms.
* Build scalable solutions using Databricks, Python, PySpark, Spark SQL, SQL and dbt.
* Design AWS\-based lakehouse architecture covering modelling, governance, lineage and data quality.
* Remain hands\-on across coding, system design, deployment and production.
* Set technical direction and raise engineering standards.
* Work with architects, product teams and senior business stakeholders.
* Mentor engineers and, for one position, manage permanent staff and external vendors.
**What We’re Looking For**
* **Strong hands\-on Databricks experience is essential.**
* **Commercial AWS experience is mandatory. Azure\-only candidates cannot be considered, even with Databricks experience.**
* Strong hands\-on Python, PySpark, Spark SQL and SQL expertise.
* Experience designing large\-scale data pipelines, lakehouse platforms or analytics systems.
* Strong knowledge of data architecture, modelling, governance, lineage and quality.
* Exposure to dbt, Airflow, Pandas, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform or CI/CD.
* Proven technical leadership and the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
* A hands\-on engineering mindset—you must remain comfortable writing and reviewing code.
* Team\-management experience is required for one of the VP openings.
* Candidates should currently be based in Singapore.
**Why Join?**
* Lead major Databricks and AWS initiatives at genuine enterprise scale.
* Build platforms that directly influence global investment decisions.
* Join a long\-term data and technology transformation with senior\-level ownership.
* Gain exposure across asset classes, investment strategies and business functions.
* Choose between hands\-on technical\-leadership and people\-management paths.
* Join a stable, flexible environment offering complex work and long\-term career development.
