What is a Data Engineer at TransUnion?
At TransUnion, data is not just an asset—it is the core of the entire business. As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for building, optimizing, and maintaining the high-throughput pipelines that process massive datasets for credit reporting, identity verification, and fraud prevention. The systems you design and support directly impact financial inclusion and risk management for millions of consumers and thousands of businesses worldwide.
You will work on petabyte-scale data infrastructure, migrating legacy architectures to modern, cloud-native environments and implementing robust distributed computing frameworks. Your role is highly collaborative, requiring close partnership with data scientists, product managers, and software engineers to turn raw, unstructured information into highly structured, actionable insights.
This position offers a unique technical challenge: balancing the extreme scale of global financial data with the stringent security, compliance, and latency requirements of a leading credit reporting agency. Succeeding as a Data Engineer here means building resilient pipelines that are both highly performant and exceptionally secure.
