Company mission
To match the demand for fast and effective solutions to business problems, with professionals who are looking for more growth opportunities.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's and/or Master's degree in computer science or a related field
- 5+ years of experience as a Data Engineer with strong software engineering skills, including ownership of production data pipelines and/or web scraping and crawling systems
- Design, build, and operate scalable data pipelines on AWS that bring in data from external web sources and turn it into clean, queryable datasets with Playwright and/or BeautifulSoup
- Experience with Airflow, Python, SQL, and Spark
- Hands-on, practical experience integrating LLMs into production systems: prompt design as part of system design, evaluation, and cost/latency tradeoffs, not just experimenting in a notebook
- Experience with AI agent frameworks (for example browser automation agents) or a strong interest in and aptitude for learning them
- Manage infrastructure as code with Terraform on AWS (ECS, EMR, Glue, S3, SQS/SNS, IAM)
- Develop and maintain Spark jobs on EMR for batch ETL and enrichment at scale
- Some exposure to classical ML/NLP concepts (classification, embeddings, matching) is a plus, since our data science team's pipeline uses these heavily
- Result-driven and hands-on attitude
- Proactive and courage to speak up
- Ability to communicate in English, verbally and in writing
- If you are not quite sure or feel that you don't meet 100% of the requirements, but are excited about us, apply anyway! Sometimes, the best combinations are a bit more unexpected
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join our AI/ML platform team and take ownership of the pipelines and systems behind our outlet-data product suite, the data platform behind our OOH Location Database, Salesmapp, and related products used by food & beverage brands across Europe
- You’ll work closely with our data scientists, who own the classical ML/NLP enrichment pipeline (matching, classification, embeddings), as well as modern LLM and AI pipelines. Solid working knowledge of this domain is a genuine plus, since your systems feed directly into it
- Own and evolve our data ingestion pipelines and our web scraping engine as production systems: architecture, reliability, scalability, and performance, not just individual scripts
- Design and build AI agent based extraction workflows (for example browser automation agents that navigate outlet websites, menus, and listing platforms) where they outperform traditional scraping and parsing approaches
- Build evaluation frameworks and quality checks so AI-driven extraction and enrichment can be trusted at the same bar as our existing rule-based systems
- Utilize AWS & Azure services effectively across both the traditional pipeline (Airflow, Spark, Glue) and the AI-driven components (model hosting, agent orchestration)
- Enhance our automated testing, data validation, and monitoring capabilities, including for AI components, which introduce new failure modes and cost profiles compared to deterministic scraping and rule-based logic
- Collaborate with business and data stakeholders, including our data science team, to align requirements and expectations across the full pipeline
- Drive engineering projects end to end and ensure successful outcomes
- Drive continuous improvement in our engineering setup
- Foster a collaborative and enjoyable team environment through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and daily interactions
