(Senior) Software/ Data Engineer (Python/Java/Kotlin) - (m|w|d)

As part of our Clickout-to-Revenue team, you will work on the core of our business model: merchants pay for qualified referrals ("Clickouts") to their shops. Your work ensures that the capture and processing are technically clean, performant, and transparent - thus significantly contributing to idealo's growth.

As part of the Team Leadouts in the Engineering department, we are looking for a hybrid profile between software development and data engineering.

The position Senior Software/Data Engineer (Python/Java/Kotlin) is available in full and part-time.

About your new role

End-to-End Responsibility

• You develop and operate highly available data pipelines and web applications in the AWS Cloud.

• Together with your team, you are responsible for the entire value chain (YBYO): architecture, infrastructure, development, testing, security, deployment, monitoring, on-call, as well as continuous improvement and maintenance.

Product Focus: Clicks & Earnings

• You develop robust data pipelines to reliably synchronize revenues of our merchants, process them further, and make them available in the data lake or downstream systems.

• You develop web applications and services for automated and manual filtering of erroneous clickouts (e.g., due to bot attacks) and ensure their scalability and traceability.

Technical Excellence

• You actively contribute ideas to improve our processes, systems, and architecture and implement them independently or together with the team.

• You value high code quality, testable architecture, clean code, sustainable technical decisions, and continuously develop yourself - supported by our training offerings.

Skills & Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in developing serverless data pipelines with Python (AWS Lambda).

• 3+ years of experience in developing business and web applications with Java or Kotlin (Spring Boot).

• Very good knowledge of relational databases (Aurora RDS, PostgreSQL, MySQL) as well as document-oriented databases (MongoDB, DocumentDB).

• Very good knowledge of real-time event processing with message brokers (Aiven Kafka) and their integration into distributed systems.

• Good knowledge of AWS architectures, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes).

• You enjoy working in a team, actively share knowledge, provide constructive feedback, and participate in pair programming, code reviews, and finding common solutions.

• You maintain a hands-on, action-oriented mindset, driving initiatives forward, removing blockers, and delivering results even in ambiguous circumstances. 

• Very good German and English skills complete your profile.
