Data Engineer (f/m/d) - AI

Your Mission

We're not just another company piping our data into someone else's black box. We build our own AI stack - scalable, secure, and 100% under our control. If you're tired of patching together pipelines that nobody understands or maintaining legacy ETL monsters, keep reading.

As our Data Engineer - AI , you'll own the architecture and operations of our AI applications - from raw data to production-grade services. You'll work side by side with Data Scientists to make models actually usable , and you'll drive the technical backbone of products that run at scale.

• Real engineering : You're not just gluing APIs - you're building systems
• Visible impact : Your work powers live services - used, tested, and appreciated
• Tech-first environment : We're AI-focused by design, not by buzzword
• Shape the future : You're part of the journey, not just maintaining what's already there

Activities

• Design, build & run : Architect scalable data backends to power our AI-driven products
• Bridge the gap : Work closely with Data Scientists to turn prototypes into production
• Automate & optimize : Ensure stability and performance of our AI APIs - and make testing a non-event
• Explore the new : Evaluate bleeding-edge tech in storage, compute, and orchestration - if it's open source and promising, you'll touch it

Requirements

• Deep knowledge of software engineering , including testing and design patterns
• Experience with data pipelines , storage, and processing techniques
• A get-code-into-prod mentality - you care about robustness and performance
• You thrive in agile , cross-functional teams where people ship fast and learn faster

• Python - For building clean, scalable data pipelines and backend services.
• SQL - You write efficient queries and know your way around complex joins and large datasets.
• Git - Version control is second nature. You know how to branch, commit, and collaborate cleanly.

Bonus Skills (nice to have): Apache Hadoop, Spark / Docker, Kubernetes / Grafana, Prometheus, Graylog / Jenkins / Java, Scala / Shell scripting
