• Be the subject matter expert on telemetry data and energy price modeling, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and scalability
• Develop and maintain Looker dashboards for analytics, monitoring, and tracking key metrics for internal teams
• Ensure that telemetry measurements and price data are consistently available in the app, even under high load or during incidents
• Build and monitor CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) for reliable deployment of data products
• Design, implement, and monitor data quality checks to proactively catch and resolve issues
• Collaborate regularly with stakeholders across departments to investigate bugs, support rollouts, and inform product decisions
• Define and own key team KPIs and work proactively to improve them

  • Google Cloud Platform (especially Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, BigQuery)
  • Looker (or similar BI tools)
• Proven track record designing, building and maintaining scalable end-to-end data pipelines that ingest data from external APIs and enable efficient, accessible storage and retrieval for both internal services and stakeholders
• Experience working with energy data is a strong plus
• Confident working in CI/CD environments (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
• Proficient with Docker and Kubernetes
• Strong communication skills: you're able to explain data intricacies clearly and collaborate with both technical and non-technical colleagues
• High level of ownership and accountability; you see challenges through to the end
• Fluent in English (German is a plus)
