One of the largest clothing retailers in Europe is looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer. With over 1,000 stores across Europe & Asia and €4 billion in annual revenue, they are continuing to invest heavily in their enterprise data platform to support large-scale analytics, data science, and long-term platform evolution.

This role sits at the heart of their data landscape and focuses on strengthening and scaling their distributed data systems.

The Position:
  • Architect and evolve the company’s enterprise data platform, shaping how data is stored, processed, and accessed across the organisation.
  • Define and standardise the “golden paths” for building and operating data pipelines.
  • Design scalable patterns for distributed data processing and ensure long-term platform stability.
  • Lead improvements in platform observability, ownership, and transparency, making data workflows measurable and reliable.
  • Enable data engineers and data scientists through self-service tooling, clear standards, and strong platform documentation.
  • Drive architectural decisions around storage formats, partitioning strategies, and performance optimisation.
  • Improve developer experience by introducing automation, reusable components, and CI/CD best practices.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to align platform capabilities with business and analytics requirements.
  • Identify structural bottlenecks and implement long-term solutions rather than reactive fixes.
  • Contribute to the strategic evolution of the data landscape, including scalability planning and future platform modernisation.

Experience:
  • 5 years of experience in Data Platform Engineering, Data Infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles.
  • Strong programming skills with a keen eye on scalability and maintainability in Python and Bash
  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong Linux system administration skills
  • Experience with CI/CD practices, infrastructure automation, and containerised environments (e.g., Kubernetes).
  • Understanding of big data infrastructure, networking, distributed systems and working with data
  • Experience improving platform observability and runtime transparency.
  • Ability to think architecturally and communicate trade-offs clearly.
  • Languages: German (B2 ) and English (fluent)

Benefits and Details:

  • Up to €110,000 salary
  • Modern Braunschweig office with cafeteria (relocation supported)
  • Annual contribution to capital-forming schemes (pension, savings, etc.)
  • Flexible working hours
  • Individual progression plan with allocated learning and development budget
  • 30 vacation days
  • Employee discounts on company products
