• Designing and maintaining scalable ETL pipelines (explicit DAG-based workflows with well-defined dependencies and reproducible execution)
• Managing and optimizing data storage systems (analytical and transactional databases)
• Monitoring and improving data systems and pipelines in production (observability, reliability, and performance)

Requirements

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field
• Ability to reason about data (ability to identify issues, inconsistencies, and edge cases)
• Solid understanding of data engineering concepts (ETL, data modeling, data warehousing)
• Experience building or working with production data systems
• Understanding of distributed systems, data storage, and processing trade-offs
• Curiosity and ownership mindset when working on complex systems

What We Offer

• A small, highly skilled team with a strong engineering and research culture
• High ownership and the opportunity to work on impactful systems from day one
• A one-of-a-kind profit sharing scheme that benefits every employee
• A collaborative environment that values curiosity, learning, and technical excellence
