Back-end & data engineer

Your pri­ma­ry focus will be the devel­op­ment of busi­ness log­ic and the def­i­n­i­tion & set­up of data­bas­es. You also ensure high per­for­mance and respon­sive­ness to requests from mul­ti­ple applications.

You will dis­cov­er infor­ma­tion hid­den in vast amounts of data and help us make smarter deci­sions in order to deliv­er even bet­ter prod­ucts. You like doing sta­tis­ti­cal analy­ses or build­ing rec­om­men­da­tion systems.

You are involved in all projects from con­cept to com­ple­tion and have a deci­sive voice through­out the entire project. This includes analysing exist­ing solu­tions and mak­ing rec­om­men­da­tions for the tech­ni­cal approach as well as the archi­tec­ture.

Exper­i­ment­ing with libraries, solu­tions, and new data tools is sec­ond nature to you. A suf­fi­cient base of skills is required, but your dri­ve and pas­sion are your most impor­tant assets.
