The role

We’re looking for a Platform & Data Engineer to design and deliver internal solutions that improve how data and workflows are structured across the business.

Translate business needs into clear technical designs and working systems
Build and improve data pipelines, integrations, and automation
Establish clean foundations for data reliability, reporting, and operational tooling
Collaborate closely with stakeholders across Germany and the US
What you bring (must-have)

3+ years of proven experience building and delivering data/platform/process solutions, ideally in a fast-moving environment
Experience creating architecture from scratch with limited resources—combining existing tools/solutions and adapting them to fit specific business needs
Strong skills in Python and SQL
Solid understanding of data architecture, system design, and integration patterns
Comfortable working with ownership and autonomy
Fluent professional English (spoken + written)
Nice to have

Experience in insurance, reinsurance, or other regulated/financial domains
Familiarity with cloud platforms and modern data tooling
Location & working model

Remote-first across Germany and the US (offices available)
Relocation to Germany supported by Transparent Hiring if the candidate is based outside Germany
