At idealo, data guides every decision. To support this, we offer a compliant, scalable, and cost-efficient data platform within the AWS ecosystem – enabling insights and establishing company-wide standards.

As we shape the long-term vision of our data engineering team, we are currently looking for support in our B2C subteam – a small but crucial team of three engineers working on high-impact topics like compliance and product data quality.

This is an exciting time to join: you’ll become part of a team that’s growing together while setting the foundation for technical excellence, shared ownership, and impactful delivery – in an environment that values diverse perspectives, mutual support, and continuous learning.

About your new role

• We believe in ownership: you’ll take responsibility across the entire software engineering workflow and act as an advocate for (data) product quality – both within and beyond your immediate team. You bring a collaborative mindset, care about how we work together, and enjoy helping others grow while growing yourself.
