• Monitor and troubleshoot daily data workflows to ensure reliable and accurate data delivery
• Support our stakeholders by structuring and preparing data for reports and dashboarding in Tableau
• Conduct stakeholder interviews and collaborate on process discovery to improve data relevance and usability
• Manage data source connections, refresh schedules, and job monitoring within Tableau Server
• Document processes and implement basic data quality checks and performance improvements
• Participate in cross-functional projects and contribute to internal knowledge sharing

Requirements

• Around 1 - 3 years of experience in data engineering, BI development, analytics, or a similar data-related role
• Proficient in SQL, with some hands-on experience using Microsoft SQL Server and/or SSIS
• Understanding of core ETL principles, data modeling, and data warehouse design
• Experience working with Tableau or other BI tools (dashboard usage or creation, data source setup, etc.)
• Interest in both technical systems and business processes - you enjoy solving real-world problems with data
• Familiarity with scripting (e.g. Python, PowerShell) or automation tools
• Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable taking initiative and learning independently in a dynamic, cross-functional team environment
• Fluent in English

Nice to have:

• Exposure to NoSQL or Big Data technologies (e.g. Spark, Hive, Hadoop)
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Ansible) or CI/CD pipelines
• Previous experience in a business-focused, cross-departmental data role

Benefits

• Permanent employment contract
• A company pension scheme
• A modern workplace in the heart of Berlin
• Ticket for public transportation (e.g. Germany ticket)
• Platform for employee discounts from a wide range of providers
• Additional English or German courses if needed
