Role
Who you are
- 2–5 years of experience in Data Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Backend Engineering with a data focus
- Strong coding skills in Python and proficiency in SQL
- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP is preferred, but AWS or Azure experience translates well)
- Practical knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes)
- A solid understanding of data orchestration tools like Airflow (or Mage/Prefect/Dagster)
- An engineering mindset: you prioritize automation, testing, and reliability over manual fixes
What the job involves
- Data is the lifeblood of Mollie, fueling decisions for over 250 internal users—from Product Managers to Analysts
- As a Data Engineer, you will join the team responsible for the infrastructure that makes this possible
- We are currently "changing the engine while flying," transitioning from managed services to a robust, self-hosted stack to gain more control and scalability
- You won't just be maintaining pipelines; you will be engineering the platform itself
- You will work on migrating our orchestration layer to Kubernetes, implementing strict data contracts, and building the self-service tooling that empowers the rest of the company to move faster
- This is a hands-on engineering role where your work directly impacts the reliability and quality of data at Mollie
- Execute the migration of our orchestration layer from fully managed Cloud Composer to Airflow on GKE (Kubernetes), giving us greater control and scalability
- Build and improve self-service tooling and CI/CD pipelines (using GitHub Actions) so analysts and engineers can deploy data models independently
- Enhance data observability and quality by implementing data contracts and monitoring tools to catch issues before they hit stakeholders
- Retire legacy systems (such as our old event tracking system and Looker instance) to streamline our tech stack
- Optimize our GCP infrastructure (BigQuery, Pub/Sub, GCS) for cost and performance using Terraform
