About the Position

Data Engineer (f/m/x)

We are Mercedes-Benz.io. Our mission is to ignite and build digital solutions for Mercedes-Benz by bringing together a tribe of digital enthusiasts who drive the digital future of mobility.

We believe flexibility and collaboration go hand in hand. With offices in Lisbon and Braga, we offer a flexible hybrid setup, with an average of one day per week in the office. This allows for meaningful in-person collaboration while maintaining the flexibility to work in a way that best supports you and your team.

We do not care about your shoes, as long as you bring the right attitude. At Mercedes-Benz.io we walk the talk and make things happen. We do not digitise for the sake of being digital, but to create real value. We reflect, challenge the status quo, and stand up for each other. This is why we hire people who want to make an impact.
