Company mission
To help every creator earn a living.
Role
Who you are
- Solid experience as a Data Engineer
- Strong knowledge of Spark (Scala, Databricks, or PySpark — PySpark is ideal, but not required)
- Proven track record with ETL/ELT pipelines and large-scale data processing
- Hands-on experience with Python and SQL
- Comfortable working with unstructured data
- Experience with workflow orchestration tools like Airflow or AWS Step Functions
- Familiarity with the AWS ecosystem (Glue, EMR, DynamoDB, etc.)
- You've built full features from idea to production: planning & scoping → architecture → coding → release
- You're based in Europe with at least a few hours overlap with GMT+3
Desirable
- Have worked with AI/ML tools or LLMs
- Care deeply about code quality and system design
- Are curious about the creator economy (we’ll help you get up to speed)
What the job involves
- Behind the scenes, we’re building the world-class data platform that powers creator discovery for thousands of companies — and we’re looking for a hardened Senior Data Engineer to shape the direction of the creator economy
- We’re not a service function — data engineering is a core product capability at Modash, building products for customers to use. You’ll own projects end-to-end, from idea to launch
- Here’s a typical day:
- Start your day with a short standup
- Heads-down focus time to plan, build, iterate, and launch
- Minimal meetings — maximum ownership
- You’ll be working on big, impactful projects like:
- Building a creator search engine indexing 200M+ influencer profiles
- Creating an understanding of the creators location, age, and interests at scale
- Creating systems to extract audience demographics from raw social data
- Shaping the future of AI-assisted search, exploring how LLMs and embeddings can enhance search and recommendations
- You won’t be patching pipelines — you’ll be creating data products from scratch that directly impact customers
- At Modash, data engineering isn’t a support function — it’s at the heart of the product. You’ll be part of a growing team of 4 data engineers, working alongside 4 backend engineers as part of our broader data organization
- Our tech stack
- AWS with Pulumi (IaC)
- Spark (EMR) — mostly PySpark
- Airflow for orchestration
- DynamoDB, S3, Glue, Kinesis, Lambda, ECS
- GitHub, Confluence, Miro, Jira
Application process
- We move fast. You can get interviewed in under a week. Process consists of:
- 1. Intro chat
- 2. Technical interviews: 1. Coding challenge (in PySpark) and 2. System Design
- 3. Team fit / Project presentation
- 4. Culture & alignment call with the CEO Avery Shrader - That’s it!
Our take
Influencer marketing has become an increasingly impactful part of marketing campaigns, but it can be difficult for businesses to discover and maintain the right partnerships. This is where Modash steps in, supplying a platform for marketing teams to find, analyse and track creators for their campaigns.
With over 250,000 creator profiles available to browse, Modash's appeal is in its ability to help businesses find influencers who are the perfect fit for their campaigns, rather than a "good enough" fit. It allows users to filter by a range of things such as location and engagement rate, as well as check the performance of creator's posts.
With such a comprehensive offering, it's no surprise Modash has earned positive attention. The company serves customers such as NordVPN, Tourlane and Bolt, and has raised a good amount of funds. In 2025 it acquired fellow Estonian startup Promoty, continued to integrate further into the Shopify ecosystem, and focussed on growing its North American presence.
