• At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of leading complex projects in a senior capacity (2+ years).

• Depth in at least one of these areas: data pipelines and storage, event-driven architectures, caching and performance, or serverless systems. You don't need all of them.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders on a shared vision.
• The ability to work in a hybrid model from our Berlin HQ, the London office, or the Iasi hub. Please note that relocation assistance is not provided for this role.

Ideal, But Not Required

• Apache Iceberg, AWS Athena, AWS Glue, or Apache Spark
• Streaming / real-time data pipelines (Kinesis)
• Multi-level caching strategies (Redis, DynamoDB, in-memory)
• Serverless at scale (Lambda, SAM, CloudFormation)
