The Role:

Joining Moderna offers the unique opportunity to be part of a pioneering team that's revolutionizing medicine through mRNA technology, with a diverse pipeline of development programs across various diseases. As an employee, you'll be part of a continually growing organization, working alongside exceptional colleagues and strategic partners worldwide, contributing to global health initiatives. Moderna's commitment to advancing the technological frontier of mRNA medicines ensures a challenging and rewarding career experience, with the potential to make a significant impact on patients' lives worldwide.

Moderna is solidifying its presence within our international business services hub in Warsaw, Poland, a city renowned for its rich scientific and technological heritage. This hub provides critical functions, meeting the growing demand of Moderna’s global business operations. We're inviting professionals from around the world to join our mission and contribute to the future of mRNA medicines. We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Data Platform and Visualization Engineer to join our Warsaw-based team. This hybrid position blends the disciplines of data platform engineering and visualization platform administration (Tableau and Spotfire), enabling end-to-end data enablement from ingestion through analytics and dashboarding.

As part of a cross-functional environment, you will engage with data engineers, analysts, product managers, and business users to build secure, scalable data infrastructure, pipelines, APIs, and optimized visualization platforms. You will also be instrumental in enhancing platform reliability, ensuring compliance, and empowering data-driven decisions at Moderna. This role is ideal for a technically versatile engineer eager to work in a fast-paced and regulated environment—with close exposure to cutting-edge digital platforms, and the opportunity to explore and integrate with Generative AI tools.

Here’s What You’ll Do:

• Your key responsibilities will be:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data platform components such as ingestion SDKs, access control systems, APIs, and discovery tools.

• Develop and manage robust ETL/ELT workflows to integrate data from diverse sources.

• Establish and oversee AWS-based infrastructure (S3, Lambda, Glue, Redshift, EMR, RDS) ensuring high availability, security, and observability.

• Collaborate within cross-functional squads to deliver product-aligned features.

• Own CI/CD pipeline development, deployment automation, testing, and production debugging.

• Translate business requirements into technical deliverables in collaboration with product and analytics teams.

• Your responsibilities will also include:

• Administer and support Tableau and Spotfire platforms, managing provisioning, user groups, and permissions.

• Implement and monitor role-based access control (RBAC) in compliance with data governance standards.

• Optimize dashboard performance, extract refresh cycles, and system workloads.

• Troubleshoot platform issues such as load time delays, user access problems, or connectivity errors.

• Partner with data engineers to optimize SQL queries, data extracts, and live connections.

• Create platform documentation, support materials, and lead internal training on dashboard best practices.

The key Moderna Mindsets you’ll need to succeed in the role:

• “We obsess over learning. We don’t have to be the smartest we have to learn the fastest.”

• In this hybrid technical role, your adaptability and hunger to explore new tools and concepts—particularly across cloud-native data architectures and visualization platforms—will be essential. From CI/CD to AWS services to potential GenAI tool integrations, constant learning will drive impact.

• “We digitize everywhere possible using the power of code to maximize our impact on patients.”

• This role sits at the heart of Moderna’s digital ecosystem. Your contributions to scalable automation, data orchestration, and platform enablement help empower scientific and commercial teams across the company to make data-informed decisions that advance patient outcomes.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Minimum Requirements

• 2  years of experience in data engineering, backend engineering, or data visualization platform administration.

• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as S3, Lambda, Glue, Redshift, EMR, and RDS.

• Proficient in Python, Spark, and SQL.

• Experience with visualization tools such as Tableau and/or Spotfire

• Exposure to CI/CD tools (GitHub, Docker), and infrastructure-as-code practices.

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.

Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table:

Preferred Qualifications
