Who we are

Typeform is a refreshingly different form builder. We help over 150,000 businesses collect the data they need with forms, surveys, and quizzes that people enjoy. Designed to look striking and feel effortless to fill out, Typeform drives 500 million responses every year—and integrates with essential tools like Slack, Zapier, and Hubspot.

Typeform is fully remote by design. For this role, we can hire candidates based in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain or the Netherlands.

About the Team

We build and maintain the data pipelines, tracking systems, and platform components that power Typeform's data ecosystem. We partner closely with Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Data Science, and Platform Engineering to deliver trusted, scalable data assets that teams across the business rely on every day.

We're growing fast - our AI Enablement stream is taking shape, our Data Warehouse is evolving, and we're investing in near real-time capabilities that underpin some of Typeform's most important product initiatives. There's real work to do, and we're looking for engineers who want to help build things the right way.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to join the Data Platform team within Platform Foundations. You'll bring technical depth, stakeholder management skills, and project ownership to lead the development of the capabilities and enablers that support Data teams across Typeform.

You'll report to the Senior Data Platform Manager and work hands-on across multiple delivery streams - from data ingestion and warehousing to AI infrastructure integration and near real-time services. This is a high-autonomy role: we expect you to scope, lead, and deliver projects independently, while collaborating closely with Data Platform peers and the broader Data organization.

What you’ll do

Platform development & delivery

  • Lead and deliver projects across our core data infrastructure, including our Data Warehouse (Snowflake), event streaming (Kafka), and data orchestration (Airflow)
  • Build and maintain NRT services in Python and GoLang to support near real-time data needs for Tracking and Marketing
  • Manage infrastructure as code using Terraform and GitOps workflows via GitHub Actions
  • Contribute to the scalability, reliability, and governance of our data platform components — including Storage, Columnar Databases, and Event Buses

AI Enablement & Governance

  • Play an active role in the AI Enablement stream, helping to deliver the integration between Data Platform and AI infrastructure and services
  • Contribute to AI and data governance frameworks, helping establish best practices as our AI capabilities grow

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

  • Partner with Analytics Engineering, Data Science, Data Engineering, and Product to understand priorities and deliver reliable platform capabilities
  • Contribute to the development of shared standards, guidelines, and templates for the Data Platform team
  • Proactively identify and drive improvements to engineering practices and tooling
What you bring
  • Solid experience as a software or data platform engineer, with a background designing and implementing Data, ML, or AI platforms
  • Hands-on experience with Python, SQL, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience working with data in big data contexts, including warehousing and pipeline infrastructure
  • Strong communication skills and a track record of working cross-domain with data-adjacent teams (Data Science, Analytics, Product, Marketing)
  • Comfort working with autonomy in environments where scope and ownership are still evolving
Extra awesome
  • Experience with streaming architectures (Kafka or similar)
  • Familiarity with ClickHouse or columnar database infrastructure
  • Exposure to data governance frameworks or data quality tooling
  • Background in a B2B SaaS or product-led company
