Data Quality Engineer (German-speaking)

Job Description:

Job Description & Summary

Are you a hands-on data engineer who cares about trust, reliability, and production-grade data? We're looking for a technical Data Quality Engineer to help design and build scalable data quality capabilities for clients in German-speaking markets. This is a client-facing role, so strong communication skills are essential-but the core of the job is technical: pipelines, integrations, rules/frameworks, and modern data platforms.

You'll work in and around modern data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery (or similar), building and operating data quality pipelines and integrations that make data products reliable and measurable.

What you'll work on (project examples)

* Implementing data quality checks in data pipelines (validation, reconciliation, anomaly detection, rule-based controls)
* Building reusable data quality frameworks and tooling (e.g., Great Expectations, Soda, Ataccama, Informatica, or similar)
* Integrating quality signals into CI/CD and delivery processes (test evidence, release readiness, monitoring)
* Creating measurable quality KPIs/metrics and quality reporting dashboards
* Exploring AI/ML-assisted approaches to data quality (profiling, anomaly detection, intelligent rule suggestions)

Key Responsibilities

* Design and implement data quality frameworks, rules, and tooling tailored to platform and business needs.
* Build and maintain data quality pipelines and integrations within modern data platforms (Databricks/Snowflake/BigQuery or similar).
* Define quality KPIs/metrics and ensure results are visible through reporting and stakeholder-ready outputs.
* Collaborate with engineering and client stakeholders to translate data quality needs into practical technical solutions.

AI/ML advantage

* Apply (or show strong interest in applying) AI/ML methods to improve data quality processes (e.g., anomaly detection, automated profiling, intelligent rule suggestions).

Requirements of the role

* Hands-on experience working within modern data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or similar).
* Proven technical ability to build/maintain pipelines and integrations (SQL + Python and/or Spark depending on platform).
* Experience designing and implementing data quality rules, frameworks, and tooling (Great Expectations, Soda, Ataccama, Informatica, or comparable).
* Strong communication skills and confidence in a client-facing environment (German-speaking stakeholders).

Nice to have

* Experience with data observability practices (monitoring, alerting, incident reduction, SLA/SLO thinking)
* Experience with CI/CD, DevOps practices, and production operations for data workloads
* Familiarity with reporting/dashboarding for quality KPIs
* Prior consulting/project delivery experience

What we offer:

* Work on impactful German-speaking client projects in modern data engineering
* Build highly transferable skills across data platforms, quality, and governance
* Be part of a new and growing team, with avenues for career advancement and development.
* Flexible working arrangements, including travel to Prague or Germany for collaboration and training.
* Join a robust team that values independence and teamwork in a collaborative setting.
* Engage with the latest technological solutions that drive financial consulting forward.
