As they continue expanding across international markets, they are looking for a Mid-Level ETL / Data Engineer to play a key role in building and scaling country-specific data pipelines, starting with Germany. As part of a collaborative engineering team, you will design, develop and maintain robust ETL pipelines that ingest, transform and validate data from multiple public sources into an Azure-based platform. You'll work with large-scale web scraping, API integrations and cloud technologies while taking ownership of end-to-end data pipelines. The ideal candidate is passionate about data engineering, enjoys solving complex data challenges and takes pride in delivering clean, reliable and scalable solutions that support business growth. Responsibilities * Design, develop and maintain ETL pipelines for ingesting public real-estate and geo-data into Azure-based data platforms. * Build scalable web scraping solutions capable of handling anti-bot protection, proxies, and rate limiting. * Integrate structured data from APIs, official registries, and public datasets. * Transform, validate, deduplicate, and normalize source-specific data into clean and reliable datasets. * Develop incremental and idempotent data pipelines with robust validation before production deployment. * Ensure country-specific datasets remain physically separated and securely managed. * Extend existing pipeline architecture to onboard new countries using reusable components rather than duplicated implementations. * Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested Python code following engineering best practices. * Collaborate closely with engineering leads to implement technical designs within the provided architecture framework. * Participate in code reviews, pull requests, and automated quality assurance processes. * Troubleshoot, optimize, and maintain production data pipelines for reliability and scalability. * Work within an Agile environment, participating in daily stand-ups and cross-functional collaboration., ETL/ Data Engineer ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Proactive monitoring and smoke testing in your production environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/139-proactive-monitoring-and-smoke-testing-in-your-production-environment) - [Cutting LLM Costs Without Cutting Quality: How to Beat Proprietary LLMs with Fine-Tuned Open Source](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100151-cutting-llm-costs-without-cutting-quality-how-to-beat-proprietary-llms-with-fine-tuned-open-source) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Modern Web Data Extraction: Techniques, Tools, and Legal & Ethical Considerations](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2046-modern-web-data-extraction-techniques-tools-and-legal-ethical-considerations) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Software Developer Salary in The Netherlands [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/217-software-developer-salary-in-the-netherlands-2023) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
