Data Engineer

Remote in our day-to-day work. On-site when it matters.
We work remote by default – focused, efficient, and with full ownership. For larger features, architectural decisions, and real brainstorming sessions, we come together in Berlin – fast, hands-on, and without unnecessary meeting overhead.

We use AI to accelerate – not to replace thinking.
We design the system, steer the output, and take responsibility for what we ship.
Fast where it makes sense. Careful where it matters.

Your mission

Join our Data Engineering team and process, transform, and refine terabytes of TV and advertising data every day.

• Design and build scalable data pipelines for our TV and forecasting products

• Keep pipelines fast, clean, and reliable – from ETL to testing and deployment

• Automate wherever possible – from unit tests to CI/CD processes

• Collaborate closely with other engineers to solve complex data challenges and continuously improve our platform

• Explore new tools and frameworks – stay curious and keep experimenting

Work with large-scale data and don’t get intimidated by terabytes – you turn raw data into meaningful insights.

• Bring 1–3 years of hands-on experience in Data Engineering

• Use Python and SQL confidently in your daily work

• Have experience with Spark or Hadoop, as well as testing and CI/CD pipelines

Bonus Points:
