- Good programming skills in Python and PySpark and want to raise the bar for our codebase
- Confidence in working with AWS services and cloud architectures
- Experience implementing ETL/streaming pipelines and/or managing data lakehouses (like Databricks) and warehouses (like Snowflake).
- Familiarity with Terraform and Github Actions
- Been there, done that, at testing, logging, monitoring and alerting (better yet if you still love it!)
- Fluency in written and spoken English
Nice to have:
- Scheduled complex data flows with Airflow or DBT
- Been keen on evangelizing the DevOps mindset across your workplace
- Showed interest in Machine Learning / have experience building ML-driven or algorithmic data products
Some perks of becoming a Babbelonian:
- Enjoy 30 vacation days and the chance to take a 3-month Sabbatical. Plus family and life situation counseling.
- Decide how, when and from where you want to work with our flexible working hours and remote friendly options as Jobbatical (up to 3 months inside the EU) or work from our fully equipped office with nap, faith and family rooms.
- Learn and grow with the internal learning opportunities, and use a yearly learning & development budget for external training. Learn languages with Babbel for free with your full access to Babbel & Babbel Live classes.
- Take advantage of your mobility benefits options and a discounted Urban Sports Club membership.
