- AI Readiness: You enhance our central data models with semantic metadata, thereby ensuring their structured and future-proof use for LLMs and AI applications
- Collaboration: You work closely with our Product Data Scientist to create a clean data foundation for ML models and data-driven product features
Requirements
- You have 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or modern BI, including 2-3 years of hands-on experience with the Modern Data Stack (especially Snowflake)
- You have a proven track record of leading architecture or data projects from a functional perspective, as well as managing external service providers/vendors
- You are a "bridge builder" and have a strong intuition for translating business problems and ambiguous requirements into standardized and scalable data models
- Strict software engineering practices (Git version control, CI/CD, automated testing, etc.) are second nature to you.
- You speak English fluently; German language skills and relevant certifications (e.g., SnowPro Core) are considered a plus
