We are adding a Data Operations Assistant to our team to support a partner based in Berlin. This organization relies on us to keep their operational data structured and accessible as they scale their internal systems. In this role, you will help manage the flow of information between different platforms and ensure that the databases our partner uses every day remain accurate and reliable. This is a permanent, full-time position that is fully remote, allowing you to work from wherever you are most productive.
About Pixel Systems Pixel Systems is a small software agency. We do not build flashy consumer apps or marketing sites. Instead, we focus on the practical tools that teams actually use to run their businesses. Our work involves building admin panels, CRM integrations, and the complex database migrations that other firms often try to avoid. Clients come to us when they need to replace a sprawling mess of spreadsheets with a real database or get their different software tools to communicate with one another properly.
We believe that working code is much better than a perfect plan that never gets finished. Our approach is straightforward: we provide fixed quotes, perform weekly demos, and hand over everything when we are done, including the code and the documentation. We use reliable technologies like Node, React, and Postgres because we want the software we build to be stable and easy for our clients to maintain over the long term. We are a team that prefers solving real operational headaches over chasing the latest industry trends.
The role In this position, you will be the person who keeps the gears turning for our partner in Berlin. A typical day might involve moving records from an old system into a new database, spotting errors in data sets, or setting up simple automated tasks to sync information between tools. You will spend time cleaning up legacy data and making sure that the information our partner sees in their dashboard is correct. It is not always high-profile work, but it is the foundation of everything the partner does.
You will work closely with our developers to learn how we structure these systems. You will help us document how data moves through the pipes we build and assist in testing new integrations before they go live. Because we are a remote company, you will have a lot of autonomy in how you manage your tasks, using tools like GitHub and chat to stay connected with the rest of the team.
What we are looking for - A high level of organization and a natural inclination to put things in order.
- Basic familiarity with how data is structured (for example, understanding how rows and columns in a spreadsheet relate to database tables).
- The ability to handle repetitive tasks with a high degree of accuracy.
- Clear written communication skills for documenting processes and explaining data issues.
- A willingness to learn the technical side of data management and systems integration.
- Comfort working independently in a remote setting.
- A pragmatic approach to problem-solving and a focus on getting the job done correctly.
Helpful background This is an entry-level role, so we do not expect you to be an expert. However, having some experience with the following tools or concepts will help you get started:
- Basic knowledge of SQL or experience working with databases like Postgres.
- Experience using spreadsheets for more than just simple lists (like using functions or lookups).
- A basic understanding of how APIs work to connect different software services.
- Familiarity with GitHub or other version control tools.
- Any exposure to JavaScript or Node.js is a plus but not required.
- Previous experience in a role that required high attention to detail, such as administration or basic technical support.
Working at Pixel Systems When you work here, you are part of a small group of people who value quiet productivity and clear results. There are no layers of middle management and very little corporate theater. We prioritize clear communication and working code over long meetings. You will see the results of your work immediately as it helps operations managers and logistics teams do their jobs more effectively. This is a paid position, and the compensation is competitive for the role and the current market.
We provide a stable environment where you can focus on building your skills. Since we are fully remote, you will not have to deal with a commute or a distracting office environment. We value honesty and pragmatism, and we expect everyone on the team to be direct about what is working and what needs to be fixed. Our goal is to build software that lasts, and that starts with having a solid foundation of clean data.
Pixel Systems is a place for people who enjoy solving practical problems without the drama. We keep our team small so that every person has a clear view of how their work contributes to the success of our partners. We are looking for someone who shares this straightforward approach and is ready to help us manage the data that keeps our partners running smoothly.
