Senior Data Engineer – Cloud, Products & Innovation

Responsibilities

• Architecture & pipeline design: You design, build and optimize scalable data pipelines and modern data platforms in cloud environments (including STACKIT).
• Product development with impact: You actively shape the data infrastructure for our internal flagship products – from real-time situation awareness in the public safety sector (X-PLORE) to intelligent data processing in forestry (TimberNex).
• Top-tier client projects: You support exciting clients, including those in the logistics sector, with complex data integrations and challenging IT projects.
• Modern tooling & streaming: You connect systems via service buses and message queues, transform data with dbt and Talend, and make it performantly usable in Exasol.
• Data excellence: You establish high standards for data governance and data quality so our data is always reliable, secure and compliance-ready.

Requirements

• You are an experienced Senior Data Engineer with a deep understanding of modern data architectures.
• You are proficient with tools like dbt, Talend and relational/analytical databases (ideally Exasol).
• You have solid experience with cloud infrastructures (ideally STACKIT or comparable European/global clouds) as well as event-driven architectures (message queues / service bus).
• Data governance and data quality are not buzzwords for you, but practiced parts of the software lifecycle.
• You have a strong affinity for new technologies.
• You know how to use AI tools (LLMs) efficiently in everyday development and are excited about "vibe coding" – smart, AI-assisted prototyping and development focused on concept, architecture and speed.
• Fluent German and good English skills and willingness to work with the team in Kayhude (flexible on-site or hybrid model).
