  • Build, deploy, monitor and operate services within our infrastructure, while automating processes.
  • Work in a team with Data Engineers and Data Scientists to support the (technical) design, implementation and evaluation of new algorithms, machine learning models and other data-driven features and services.

A convincing background

  • BSc or higher degree in Computer Science or equivalent Software Engineering experience

  • Good knowledge in SQL
  • Proficient English language skills (German is not required)

Nice to have

  • Python and relevant frameworks
  • Previous experience in building recommender systems or search services
  • At senior level, proven track-record of building rock-solid data-driven solutions (i.e. fault-tolerant, highly reliable features, solutions which scale regarding volume of data, robustness regarding changing data characteristics, re-usable and easily extendable etc.).
  • Previous experience in working in a distributed setup
