A convincing background


- Strong people leader with the ability to inspire and grow technical experts; some years’ experience in leading engineering teams.

- Understanding what it takes to design, build and maintain successful data services and products, with hands-on experience

- Hands-on experience in Software Engineering (e.g. programming languages such as Java, Scala or Python; technologies such as Hadoop & Co.).

- Basic experience and theoretical background in Data Science is a plus (for example, having a basic understanding about some aspects related to machine learning, data mining, information retrieval, NLP, data quality, etc. may help you)

- Excellent communication skills to collaborate with business stakeholders, technical engineers, and management

- Fluency in English is a must.


An inspiring environment
