• Help to optimize our data infrastructure – from ETL pipelines, data preparation to data modeling

• Ensure data quality, governance standards, and develop automated data validation processes

• Automate recurring reporting to create capacity for strategic analysis

• Develop self-service solutions (dashboards, conversational GenAI) that empower HR and business leaders to make data-driven decisions

• Implement best practices in code documentation, version control, and testing

Your Qualifications:

• Master’s Degree or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Psychology, Information Systems, or related field or Bachelor‘s with 5+ years of relevant experience

• Experience creating data visualizations and dashboard using Python/R frameworks (e.g., Pandas, PySpark ) and BI platforms (e.g., Power BI)

• Pragmatic "get-things-done" mentality

• Fluent in English, German is a plus

• Preferred: Experience with modern data platforms such as Databricks and Microsoft Azure; familiarity with enterprise data environments (e.g., SAP Datasphere), data preparation, feature engineering, and agile ways of working is a plus.
