About the role  

In this position, you will be working on building industry-defining data products. You will have a prominent level of influence on data architecture and the way the team designs both processes and solutions.

Our Data Engineering team is very diverse and consists of 18 experienced colleagues from different backgrounds and nationalities distributed across 3 different locations. We work in different functional teams aimed at developing data foundations for various domains, but we have a common craftsmanship, and we are committed to knowledge sharing and defining best practices.

When you join our team, you will help us build and maintain scalable data pipelines (batch and streaming) and API integrations based mostly on cloud infrastructure.

Furthermore, your responsibilities will also include:

• Develop ELT processes, including data-heavy ingestion, storage, and processing,
• Work and collaborate with other data engineers, data scientists, product owners, and business analysts to develop data products that support analytics and ML use cases of different domains,
• Contribute to the continuous evolution of our craftsmanship, including architecture, standards, knowledge sharing, and documentation,
• Support key stakeholders with their data needs or data-driven decision-making, as well as solve data-related issues.

About you 

As our new Data Engineer, you will be in constant collaboration with people with broad business expertise. Therefore, you must be a strong-willed person who knows how to get a deeper understanding of business domains and processes. Besides this, you are used to gathering requirements from different types of stakeholders.

Furthermore, we expect that:

• You have a background in a data-related field or a software engineering role with an emphasis on data movement,
• You can perform complex operations and process large datasets in SQL,
• You can write clean and readable Python code,
• You are experienced in developing data-intensive applications in cloud platforms, preferably AWS (S3, Redshift, RDS) and/or Snowflake,
• You have hands-on with Airflow,
• You are familiar with DBT (data build tool) including testing/data quality,
• You can work on multiple tasks independently and as a team,
• You take pride in communicating with internal stakeholders at all levels,
• You are fluent in English (speaking, listening, reading, writing).

Besides this it is nice to have (but not a must):

• Experience with Event stream processing (Kafka),
• Knowledge of Docker (ideally on Kubernetes),
• CI/CD automation in Azure Pipelines or similar,
• Data Visualization (PowerBI).

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
