Our team in Copenhagen is responsible for the development and deployment of the company’s next-generation technology closely collaborating with the company’s other branches in New York and Berlin.
Our team in Copenhagen currently consists of a few veterans from AdTech as well as 20 handpicked new highly competent and focused colleagues who have joined since the mid 2018. Having ~25 data scientists and data engineers all focusing all on their own domains, means there is a need for support teams. In the data infrastructure team we need a person to help the other developers with data handling related aspects of their work.
We are looking for a Data Engineer for a team focused on monitoring data, making data accessible for data scientists and generally creating tooling to help data scientists and other data engineers.
Examples of work tasks
Automatically making data available in Athena, Redshift etc.
Monitoring for anomalous files, storage and costs
Extracting documentation from code and making it generally available
Optimizing compile times for Scala projects
Creating Slack apps
About the Job:
We are looking for a Data Engineer who can design, develop and maintain complex software solutions, with a focus on the maintaining part. You will be able to plan and organize your own schedule to a great extent. The team you’ll be joining is very small, but there is opportunity to work with members of the other teams.
You will be part of all development phases, from initial discussions and exchange of ideas, to prototyping, development, testing, deployment, maintenance/improvement and reporting.
In the Copenhagen office we believe in freedom and flexibility under responsibility and insist on a high level of competence. Our development process is as a result of a loosely defined hybrid of agile methods and rapid prototyping.
Your Profile:
You have a couple of years professional experience with software development and are passionate about learning new things. You are interested in back-end technologies and architecture. You may also be interested in math, statistics, or adtech technology.
You have a degree in computer science, software engineering, physics, math, or chemistry. You have practical experience with actual programming, and preferably also have a practical and/or deep theoretical understanding of some of the following:
Programming in Python
Programming in Scala
Basic knowledge about Amazon Web Services (S3, Athena, Glue, etc)
You approach problems analytically and solutions pragmatically. You are full of good ideas, able to see opportunities and weaknesses in other people’s ideas, and able to find ways to discuss ideas in a distanced and constructive manner. You love to go in depth with different topics and are curious about learning about things within new subjects. You want to understand and get involved with the problems the company is facing. You thrive in a dynamic environment where work priorities can change, and therefore tasks may not always be finished. You can hand over tasks, but prefer to finish them yourself. You are able to work independently and enterprisingly. When people come to you with a problem, bug or a question you’ll want to help them immediately.
