Data Engineer (Contract)
About the job
We are a Berlin based B2B SaaS start-up building digital tools for the shipping industry to reduce their carbon footprint and help the industry to get to carbon zero by 2050.
As we start into our first strong growth phase, we are looking for a Data Engineer to build the zero44 data infrastructure to support business and product growth.

We’re looking for an eager individual who can guide our data stack using AWS services with technical knowledge, communication skills, and real-world experience.

- You integrate data from source systems using common ETL tools or programming languages (e.g. Ruby, Python, Scala, AWS Data Pipeline, etc.)
- You develop tailor-made strategies, concepts and solutions for the efficient handling of our growing amounts of data
- Work iteratively with our data scientist to build up fact tables (e.g. container ship movements), dimension tables (e.g. weather data), ETL processes, and build the data catalog
