Data Engineer

You won't just be maintaining pipelines; you will be engineering the platform itself. You will work on migrating our orchestration layer to Kubernetes, implementing strict data contracts, and building the self-service tooling that empowers the rest of the company to move faster. This is a hands-on engineering role where your work directly impacts the reliability and quality of data at Mollie.

What you'll ship

• Execute the migration of our orchestration layer from fully managed Cloud Composer to Airflow on GKE (Kubernetes), giving us greater control and scalability.
• Build and improve self-service tooling and CI/CD pipelines (using GitHub Actions) so analysts and engineers can deploy data models independently.
• Enhance data observability and quality by implementing data contracts and monitoring tools to catch issues before they hit stakeholders.
• Retire legacy systems (such as our old event tracking system and Looker instance) to streamline our tech stack.
• Optimize our GCP infrastructure (BigQuery, Pub/Sub, GCS) for cost and performance using Terraform.

• 2-5 years of experience in Data Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Backend Engineering with a data focus.
• Strong coding skills in Python and proficiency in SQL.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP is preferred, but AWS or Azure experience translates well).
• Practical knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes).
• A solid understanding of data orchestration tools like Airflow (or Mage/Prefect/Dagster).
• An engineering mindset: you prioritize automation, testing, and reliability over manual fixes.
