About the role

About the Role

Lead the design and operation of a production data platform for a procurement technology business. This hands-on technical leadership role connects enterprise data systems to reliable analytics, working closely with product engineering and customer IT teams.

What You'll Do

  • Design multi-tenant architecture, reusable data models, and access controls that keep customer data isolated and queries performant.
  • Build data cleaning, reconciliation, and calculation foundations for spend analysis, supplier comparisons, benchmarks, and simulations.
  • Develop repeatable ERP integrations and synchronization patterns in collaboration with customer IT teams.
  • Own ingestion, orchestration, monitoring, and recovery for production data systems.
  • Create tools and workflows that make data onboarding, troubleshooting, and analytical feature development more efficient.
  • Experiment with AI development tools and automate repetitive engineering work.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years of experience building production data systems, including ownership of architecture and implementation.
  • Strong SQL and Python skills, with experience in data modeling and query optimization.
  • Practical experience designing multi-tenant systems with data isolation and access controls.
  • Experience integrating enterprise systems such as ERPs and working directly with customer IT teams.
  • Experience owning ingestion, orchestration, monitoring, and recovery in production.
  • Background in data-intensive B2B SaaS or fintech is useful; procurement experience is not required.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary and meaningful equity. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site in Berlin, Germany. Candidates should be based in Berlin or willing to relocate.
