About the Position

Tech Lead - Data Plattform Engineering (m/w/d) Azure und Databricks

We are looking for a Tech Lead for Data Platform Engineering with expertise in Azure and Databricks to join our team in Frechen, Germany, and lead our data platform initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable data platforms using Databricks and Azure.
• Establish best practices and standards for building scalable, secure, and automated data platforms for our clients.
• Lead and mentor a team of Data Platform Engineers, providing technical guidance and fostering their development.
• Play a central role alongside the management team, with opportunities to develop people, expand business areas, and build customer relationships.
• Shape our strategic direction by actively contributing to our strategic alignment.
• Develop internal best practices, standards, and reusable solutions for modern data platforms, ensuring their targeted application and continuous development in our client projects.

Requirements

• Analytical Thinking & Technological Curiosity: You have a degree in STEM or Business Informatics – or a comparable qualification. You quickly grasp and are enthusiastic about new technologies and business models.
• Experience: You have at least five years of professional experience in Data Platform Engineering, Data Engineering, or Cloud Platform Engineering, and have already taken on technical responsibility in projects or teams.
• Expertise in Data Platform Engineering & Architecture: You have designed and implemented modern data platforms, ideally with Databricks and Azure. Lakehouse architectures, development, test, and production environments, as well as scalable cloud and platform architectures, are familiar concepts to you.
• Data Platform Engineering & Governance: Connecting source systems, building modern data platforms, and designing and implementing governance concepts are part of your daily routine. Infrastructure as Code is a matter of course for you – your solutions are not only functional but also scalable, sustainable, and maintainable in the long term.
• DevOps & Automation: Infrastructure as Code, for example with Terraform, as well as CI/CD for data and platform workloads, are second nature to you. You establish automated deployment processes, technical standards, and best practices and support your team in implementing them.
• Platform Standards & Innovation: You develop best practices, standards, and reusable solutions for modern data platforms – from provisioning and deployment to security and governance to monitoring and data ingestion. You continuously develop and transfer them to our client projects.
• Communication Skills & Team Spirit: You convey complex issues understandably and convincingly – both to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Your confident demeanor enables you to win over clients and teams. Cooperation and knowledge transfer are essential to you.
• Willingness to Learn & Development: You continuously further your education – whether through certifications, exchanging ideas with experts, or your own projects. Your enthusiasm for technology is shown in your desire to try out new frameworks or tools and continuously expand your knowledge.
• Effective Time Management: You know when focused work is sufficient and when it is worth investing more to successfully complete a project. Your forward-thinking planning allows you to efficiently manage your time.

We Offer

• Meet-Ups & Trade Shows: As a team, we attend meet-ups and trade shows together to further develop and network.
• Certifications & Training: We support you in professional training and certifications to advance your career.
