Role
Who you are
- A hands-on builder with deep experience in designing and scaling data systems, ideally with cloud-native architectures
- Someone who thrives on ownership: you can independently lead projects across teams, from initial design to delivery
- Passionate about empowering teams with clean, accessible, and privacy-compliant data
- Curious about AI/ML and how data foundations play a critical role in enabling those systems
- Experienced in working cross-functionally with analytics, product, platform, and security teams in high-growth environments
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering with strong Python and SQL skills
- Deep understanding of modern cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS (S3, Glue, Athena, Kinesis, etc.)
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Terraform
- Familiar with data tools like Airflow, Airbyte, dbt, and Looker (or equivalents)
- Experience with lakehouse formats like Apache Iceberg and distributed processing (e.g. Spark via AWS Glue)
- Skilled in building and maintaining scalable, cost-efficient, and reliable data infrastructure
- Knowledge of data governance, observability, and compliance (e.g. GDPR, MDR)
- Experience with event tracking tools like Snowplow or OpenSnowcat; privacy-aware and pragmatic mindset
- Based in Berlin to work with the team in our Berlin office on a regular basis
What the job involves
- As a Senior Data Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping Clue’s modern data platform, empowering teams across the company with trustworthy, privacy-conscious data
- The data team at Clue is a central partner to all departments. While much of your work will enable analytics for product, marketing, finance, and science, you will also collaborate directly with our platform team to support data infrastructure, observability, and data-related initiatives
- You’ll join a purpose-driven, collaborative environment where your technical leadership directly supports Clue’s mission and business goals
- Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of scalable batch and streaming data pipelines
- Shape the evolution of Clue’s lakehouse platform
- Collaborate with the engineering, analytics, and science team to define schemas, optimize data models, and ensure data quality
- Drive architectural decisions related to ingestion, orchestration, and transformations
- Ensure robust observability, lineage, and governance—especially for health data subject to privacy regulation
- Mentor others in data engineering best practices, and set standards for documentation, testing, and performance
- Explore and support ML/AI use cases, working closely with platform engineers and researchers
Our take
Clue is a femtech app built to offer a tech-based birth control method by tracking the fertility cycle. The company aims to encourage women and people with cycles to understand their bodies through its user-friendly app that offers in-depth information about their health.
Clue differentiates itself through its use of science to provide users with actionable insights regarding their health. Furthermore, it calculates fertility windows based on global averages instead of ovulation data, which makes its results more accurate. The company continues to collaborate with scientists and universities in order to ensure the product is as accurate as possible.
Clue also continues to focus on raising awareness about the importance of tracking periods and ovulation for health and family planning and, with an increasing amount of research being done in this space, is well-positioned for further growth. The company has not been immune from wider economic effects, and cut its staff early in 2023, though this was followed with a successful fundraise that will enable it to expand its product portfolio, scale its digital family planning offering, and invest in research.
