Architecture & Stack

Our data engineering team employs an ELT approach to extract data from diverse sources, load it into our Snowflake data warehouse, and transform it using dbt. We write Singer scripts in Python to manage data ingestion and leverage Airflow for workflow orchestration.

We deploy our infrastructure on AWS and use Docker and a bit of Kubernetes for containerisation and orchestration. We also use additional tools for data quality, visualisation, and reverse ETL to support our data engineering needs.

Team, Challenges & You
The data team is distributed across Bulgaria and the UK. Because we’re a remote company, we have people in Sofia, Plovdiv, Burgas, Varna, Ruse and other parts of Bulgaria. Everyone can choose where to work from.

We have reasonable processes, organised Jira boards, stand-ups, and a team of professionals who help us nail the specifications. We value the quality of the code and good practices highly. We’ve suffered enough without them, and our management is well aware of that. We’ve even needed to explain that we don’t need so much time to pay back technical debt. Some of us even talk about those things (code reviews, automated testing, refactoring).
