Data Engineer (all genders) - Data Foundation

Data Engineer (all genders) - Data Foundation

Wolfsburg, Germany

Join us as a Data Engineer (all genders) in our Data Foundation team and help shape the future of autonomous mobility!

As the Data Foundation team, we aim to bridge the gap between raw data and refined data products. We want to bring meaning to data by providing an accessible and easy‑to‑use data model. Collaboration stands at the heart of what we do, and we strongly believe in shared contribution and the enablement of other teams to create the data products they need.

We are a small and open‑minded bunch of people with backgrounds in data engineering, analytics, and data science. We thrive on open communication, fun at work, and authenticity for everyone.

What you will do

Be an Engineer!

Improve our custom data operation tooling with a focus on developer experience.

Work closely with members of our data platform to bootstrap new data services, implementing infrastructure as needed while ensuring data security and data protection.

Facilitate standard software practices such as CI/CD, test data quality, improve data observability, and ensure data modularity across the board (DevOps mindset).

Design and implement scalable data pipelines with dbt and python.

Be a team player!

Enable product teams to build their own data products within the data foundation framework and support them with onboarding sessions, consulting, or documentation.

Pair with other team members on complex coding challenges or process improvements while ensuring a fun environment for everyone.

What will help you to fulfill your role

You have a background in data engineering or similar domains, such as analytics engineering or software engineering.

You are fluent in Python, SQL, and Git, with a deep understanding of production‑grade data engineering concepts such as data contracts, schema evolution, idempotency, and failure‑state management. We especially look for people with knowledge in dbt (or similar tools like sqlmesh) in combination with an orchestrator such as Airflow or Dagster.

A big plus is knowledge of semantic layers and experience with tools like CubeJS.

You know how to implement and ship software changes in small increments, with quick iterations and feedback loops, making use of CI/CD, testing using, for example, Github Actions. You are willing to jump in, investigate, and fix failing services (nice to have: experience with observability and monitoring).

• You have worked on infrastructure projects in the past, and you know your way around cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. If “Athena” is more than a Greek goddess’s name to you, we are going to be friends.

Nice to have: You are familiar with data modeling practices (e.g., Kimball, Star, 3NF, Data Vault) and how to architect long‑lasting and lightweight data architecture. If you bring us to new dimensions, we’ll bring the facts.

You don’t hesitate to jump into stakeholder meetings, organizing workshops, reviews, or onboardings with our colleagues who are closest to us.

You feel comfortable in a small team with close communication circles, big appreciation for each other, and the occasional meme ping‑pong. It’s going to be fun - we promise.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds— even if you don’t meet every requirement. If you’re excited about the role and MOIA’s mission, we’d love to hear from you!

Be who you are!

We are a member of Charta der Vielfalt and are dedicated to actively fostering a workplace that celebrates and promotes diversity in various aspects such as age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or cognitive ability, and ethnicity. At MOIA, we embrace a culture where people are accepted, respected, valued, appreciated, and included.

In our commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity, we regularly provide unconscious bias training to all our employees. Furthermore, we continuously strive to enhance our hiring process by ensuring a diverse hiring panel.

Since we love to collaborate, it is clear to us that we don't want to become a fully remote company, but we also don't need to spend every day of the week in the office to do a great job.

Our current hybrid work approach focuses on adapting to different needs, including increased flexibility that works best for the teams and the individuals with as much self‑determination as possible.
