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
- You’ll be joining a brand-new 1.5 pizza team of engineers, working on projects from scratch. You will collaborate closely with non-technical stakeholders and the tech team. You will be reporting directly to the CTO. This role is hybrid in Berlin
- We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer (f/m/d) to join Metrify Smart Metering and take ownership 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.
