Yuno moves money across borders for companies that can't afford for payments to fail. Our data platform is what makes that visible — to our product teams, our clients, and ourselves.

If you are a Staff Engineer with passion and drive who enjoys solving complex data problems and driving engineering standards and initiatives end-to-end, then we are looking for you.

You will play a pivotal role within the Data team that powers Yuno and its payment platform, while helping co-design and implement an architecture that enables the entire organization to operate on reliable, fast, and trustworthy data.

The stack is modern: StarRocks as our primary analytical layer, Flink for processing, DBT for transformation, Airflow for orchestration and various tooling for surfacing insights.

The hard work of making it super reliable is still in front of us — and that's exactly why this role exists.
