ABOUT THE ENGINEERING TEAM

We work remotely, meaning that we want to work with the best, no matter where you want to live. Our growing engineering and product team is full of alumni from Spotify, Adobe, Yandex, Mail.ru and more all now looking to disrupt creative operations together. The team is fully distributed across Europe but everyone is working within CET +/- 3 hours.

Today, our engineering team consists of 12 developers, our aim is to extend to 25-30 engineers within the year. 

Superside works closely together and emphasize a product-driven mindset. Everyone is given a lot of freedom and autonomy, and you’ll be able to take part in all types of product-related discussions, ranging from architecture to algorithms, DevOps and Cloud. You will work with scrum methodology, weekly product meetings, daily stand-ups with the team and weekly grooming sessions.


WHAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON  

As a Data Engineer at Superside, you’ll be responsible for gathering, structuring, analyzing, understanding, aggregating and presenting all data that runs through the company. You’ll be responsible for designing and developing data systems and reporting tools to discover opportunities for operational innovations and help us test those innovations in an analytically rigorous manner. The purpose of this role is to build solid “customer insight” for the whole company and to make Superside a data-driven company.

You can expect to get your hands dirty with:
  • Design, develop and maintain a data analytics ecosystem and an optimal data pipeline architecture
  • Build the infrastructure and integrations needed for optimal extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data from a wide variety of data sources both internally and externally
  • Build analytics tools and reporting systems that utilize the data pipeline to provide actionable insight into operational efficiency, customer acquisition and journey, and other key business performance metrics.
  • Collaborate and influence with stakeholders such as Leadership, Creative Project Managers, Designers, and Engineers to ensure our data infrastructure meets constantly evolving requirements.
  • Write and review technical documents, including design, development, and revision documents.
  • Establish a vision for what the data-driven future could be at Superside and then take part in bringing that vision to life

We want to bring the future of work to life and flood the world with beautiful, intuitive design. And we want your help in doing both.


WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for a passionate and creative data whiz that solves problems using novel and innovative data structures and analytics. Hopefully you’re excited about the flexibility of remote work, the opportunity to collaborate with highly talented individuals from many geographies and cultures, and the freedom offered by the metaphorical sandbox of a start-up environment. As this role will be quite autonomous, it is important that you are able to work independently and make good decisions on which projects to prioritize and what to build next.
