Senior Data Engineer - Data Insights (m/f/d) - remote

Data driven decisions. Data informed management. “Data”and all related efforts around it has moved from being “another buzzword”into becoming an essential part of the most successful corporations. 

Signavio’s data insights team aims to provide reliable quality data, tools and services to stakeholders both from inside the engineering department as well as from the outside (e.g. C Suite), enabling them to better understand our users, products &processes. This is a cornerstone to track the progress on our goals, to shed light on business relevant information, to discover areas that need improvement, and to enable data driven decision making throughout the whole organisation.

Being truly inclusive and respectful allows us to deliver on the expectations, manage them, and…most of the time to have fun while doing it.
