Role
Who you are
- You gained solid experience in data engineering, designing robust and large-scale data solutions
- You are experienced in Python, database interactions (SQL & NoSQL), using modern data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, or similar), and you have a strong understanding of dimensional modeling, data warehousing concepts, and schema design
- Familiarity with real-time streaming (Kafka, Spark, or similar), cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers (Docker), CI/CD pipelines, or energy-sector data is a nice to have
- You communicate clearly in English. Knowledge of German is a plus
- You embody agile values and take ownership of identifying data issues and implementing robust solutions. You're comfortable with ambiguity, move fast with MVPs, and keep a long-term architectural view in mind
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to lead our data pipelines' design, development, and optimization.
- You will be responsible for architecting and maintaining robust ingestion processes, ensuring data consistency, and collaborating closely with the product and analytics teams. In this role, you’ll tackle everything from new data source integration to performance tuning in large-scale environments
- Data Pipeline Architecture: You’ll design and build scalable data ingestion and transformation pipelines, handling both batch and real-time streams
- ETL/ELT Best Practices: You’ll build robust, efficient workflows using tools like dbt, Apache Airflow, or similar orchestration frameworks
- Workflow Automation Integration: You’ll collaborate with software and platform engineers to ensure data workflows can incorporate automation logic and business rules (e.g., auto-escalation, anomaly detection)
- Quality & Governance: You’ll enforce data integrity, version control, and security protocols to safeguard data quality
- Performance Optimization: You’ll diagnose bottlenecks in data processing and implement best practices to improve throughput and reliability
- Mentorship & Team Building: You’ll lead by example in code reviews, provide guidance to junior engineers, and actively shape a knowledge-sharing culture within the team
Our take
Rising electricity prices and increasing demand have led to renewable energy adoption to rapidly become mainstream, however obtaining a home solar power system can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. With a mission to bring affordable green energy to everyone, Enpal provides homeowners with an all-in-one solar solution that is both easy and affordable.
The company rents out solar power systems, saving customers from paying high acquisition costs and instead paying a flat monthly rental fee for their customised solar solution that covers all costs (including planning, installation, maintenance, and more), and includes a green electricity tariff.
The company's debt funding in 2024 added more power to an already highly impressive valuation of $2.35 billion and will help it continue on its rapid growth trajectory. As one of the fastest-growing green-tech companies in the world, Enpal also holds the status of becoming Germany’s first renewable energy unicorn company as more people across Europe make the change to renewable energy.
