This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Software Engineer, Data Platform in Germany.

We are seeking an experienced Software Engineer to join a dynamic data platform team and help build scalable backend systems, APIs, and data pipelines that power the organization’s products.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, embraces ambiguity, and continuously seeks to improve both their own work and the broader system architecture.

• Design, build, and maintain backend services, APIs, and infrastructure components for the data platform.

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong focus on data engineering.
• Expertise in backend development, including REST/gRPC API design and service support.
• Experience with SQL and database/lakehouse technologies such as Redshift, Clickhouse, Trino, Star Rocks, Apache Iceberg, or Postgres.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and data-related services (S3, Redshift, EMR, Glue, Kinesis, Athena).
• Strong problem-solving skills, action-oriented mindset, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Nice to have: experience with big data frameworks (Apache Spark, DBT), .NET ecosystem, orchestration tools (Temporal, Airflow), or previous experience in high-growth startups.

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Flexible working arrangements and remote work options.
• Opportunities for professional growth and skill development.
• Collaborative, high-impact work environment with a strong engineering culture.
• Exposure to cutting-edge data engineering technologies and platform architecture.
