Responsibilities
•Build and evolve the data systems data users love. That includes our query experience, conversational analytics, dashboarding, integrations with tools like n8n, and the Airflow orchestration layer.
•Design simple interfaces that hide the complexity of the data platform underneath. Critical systems and hundreds of consumers depend on the analytical plane, so every change you ship is tested, rolled out safely and observable.
•Define and monitor SLOs and error budgets for customer-facing services.
•Lead blameless post-incident reviews and automate safety guardrails.
•Shape the roadmap end-to-end. Work with product managers to understand user needs, balance cost, latency and user experience, pick the right tech, and clearly explain trade-offs to leadership.
Requirements
•3+ years building backend or platform services.
•A solid understanding of how data platforms work (query engines, orchestration, lakehouse storage). You build on top of the infrastructure rather than run it.
•Demonstrated ability to turn best practices into opinionated "paved roads" that make doing the right thing effortless.
•Clear, concise English communication.
•The toolbox we use (and you probably know): Python, Spark, Kyuubi, Iceberg, Airflow, dbt, n8n, Kubernetes, AWS, Grafana. Experience with every single item is not required—bring your strengths and curiosity.
Nice to have
•React and frontend experience.
Conditions
Please note that this position is based in Berlin — relocation support is provided if required (only if already within the EU).
