Senior Data Engineer
WFA Digital Insight
The BEES cell inside AB InBev’s Growth Group is a technology hub that blends data, commerce and marketing under one roof. A Senior Data Engineer there will not only maintain existing pipelines but also shape the architecture that powers the company’s B2B and DTC platforms across continents. The role sits at the intersection of cloud engineering, data modeling and product‑focused delivery, giving the holder direct influence over how data moves from raw ingestion to actionable insights. Candidates should be comfortable with both the strategic side—understanding business needs and translating them into data products—and the tactical side, such as building CI/CD‑enabled pipelines in Python or PySpark. Remote work from anywhere in Brazil adds flexibility while still requiring tight collaboration with teams in São Paulo, Campinas and global partners.
