Data Engineer

As a Data Platform Engineer, you own the tooling, abstractions, and guardrails that let 55+ Analytics Engineering/BI engineers embedded across domains ship dbt models safely and fast across a ~2,500-model monorepo. You'll work at the intersection of dbt, Snowflake, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code, spending as much time unblocking and enabling others as you do writing code.

What you'll do

• Own and evolve our dbt platform: macros, packages, project structure, selective/state-aware runs, and CI gating across a large monorepo.
• Build self-service scaffolding and developer tooling so domain teams can create models, sources, and tests without touching platform internals.
• Manage infrastructure as code with Terraform and ArgoCD (GitOps), keeping environments reproducible and reviewable.
• Enforce federated governance: data contracts, RBAC via Snowflake database roles, and domain ownership boundaries.
• Support data privacy and compliance requirements, including metadata-driven PII handling.
• Build observability and testing into the platform so failures are caught before they reach domain teams.
• Partner with AE/BI leads to gather requirements, review designs, document patterns, and continuously lower the barrier to entry.

What you'll need

• Strong software engineering fundamentals: Python, testing, reusable libraries, and a platform-as-product mindset.
• Deep, hands-on dbt experience at scale (not just authoring models, but operating the platform around them).
• Solid Snowflake knowledge: RBAC, performance, and warehouse management.
• Experience with orchestration (Airflow) and containerized workloads (Kubernetes/AKS).
• Comfort with IaC (Terraform) and GitOps (ArgoCD).
• Familiarity with modern ingestion frameworks (dlt or similar).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder empathy; you enjoy enabling other engineers and can navigate ambiguity in a cross-domain mesh.

Nice to have

• Experience building internal developer platforms or paved-road tooling.
• Knowledge of data contracts and federated data governance.
• GDPR/DSGVO-aware data handling experience.
• Exposure to Snowflake Iceberg/REST catalogs or dbt Fusion.

What they offer

• Hybrid working with Workflex relocation option (up to 30 days/year abroad).
• 29 vacation days plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off.
• Discounted Wellhub membership and corporate benefits.
• Modern office in Berlin-Friedrichshain with height-adjustable desks, table tennis, beverages, and barista coffee.
• Onboarding with welcome bag, buddy program, and team support.
• Transparent all-hands meetings, short decision-making processes, and open feedback culture.
