Your Mission
This is a company built for growth.
When you join exmox, you're stepping onto a global, highly competitive playing field, solving real problems in environments that push you beyond your comfort zone. We move fast, cut the noise, and focus on what actually matters, because in our industry, speed wins. With 50M+ platform downloads, we're rapidly scaling one of the most exciting innovations in mobile gaming: a rewarded user engagement and acquisition platform that helps players discover, and engage with games they enjoy - creating lasting value for both players and gaming studios.
As Senior Data Engineer (f/m/x) you won't just be maintaining pipelines or following predefined processes. You'll build and scale the data foundation that powers our entire business, with an engineering mindset and entrepreneurial ownership: you build it, you own it, working close to product and engineering and seeing the impact of your work in production. At exmox, we're embracing AI as part of how we work, not just what we build. We use AI tools to work smarter, cut down on repetitive tasks and spend our time where it actually moves the needle. If that mindset speaks to you, you'll fit right in.
If you're excited by complex systems, high traffic, data-driven decisions, and the chance to grow by solving challenging problems, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Own:
- Data pipelines & integration: You design, develop, and maintain scalable ETL pipelines on Databricks to integrate data from various sources including app and web products and marketing partner data, ensuring reliable and efficient data flow across the business.
- DataLakehouse ownership: You build and manage the DataLakehouse on Databricks including migrating legacy data products. You implement data transformations and processing logic using Databricks and PySpark to ensure efficient data handling and analysis.
- Monitoring & optimisation: You monitor and maintain the data stack for nightly and near-real-time processing of in-house tracking solutions, ensuring high performance and reliability. You continuously optimise and troubleshoot pipelines to ensure data quality and integrity.
- Cross-functional collaboration: You work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless data flow and integration into the DataLakehouse and provide Tableau support for data analysts as needed.
- Staying ahead: You stay updated with industry best practices and emerging technologies in data engineering, bringing new ideas and approaches to the team.
What You Bring
- Technical foundation: You have a degree in Computer Science, Engineering or Information Systems or bootcamp experience with a minimum of 4 years of professional experience in data engineering.
- ETL expertise: You are proficient in designing, implementing and optimising ETL processes and orchestrating ETL workflows in production environments.
- Tools & technologies: You have hands-on experience with Databricks and AWS services such as S3, Kinesis and Lambda or similar technologies. Experience with GitLab CI/CD pipelines and familiarity with PostgreSQL are a plus.
- AI skills: You use AI for next to everything you plan and build.
- Programming skills: You are highly proficient in Python, SQL and PySpark for data manipulation and processing and write clean, maintainable and production-ready code.
- Mindset & communication: You have excellent problem-solving skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. You are fluent in English both verbally and in writing.
How We Win
- Speed is the feature. Speed beats rocket science. We move fast, test fast, and multiply our pace with AI, because action creates information and small wins compound. A fast failure is a lesson we learn from, a slow one is a problem we can't afford.
- Focus on the essential. Done is better than perfect. We stay focused on what actually moves us forward and protect people's time from anything that doesn't. We're direct in how we communicate too, no rambling, no unnecessary detail.
- See it. Own it. Solve it. The first to see it is best placed to fix it. We're not a place for comfort, we're a place for doers. "Not my job" isn't in our vocabulary, if you spot something, you help make sure it gets solved.
- Respect others. Trust multiplies. Respect is non-negotiable. We disagree with ideas, never with people. Trust here is built the same way it is anywhere, through consistency, a thank you, a moment of listening, and owning your mistakes.
- Perks that help you focus on what matters. Transport subsidy, learning budget, wellness and gym, workation, bi-weekly team lunches, and more. The perks are great, but the real reason people join and stay is the challenge, the ownership, and the drive to win together.
Please note: this is not a remote only position, we offer you a flexible hybrid model here in Hamburg, Germany - working from home on Mondays & Fridays, coming to the office on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday!
