Software Engineer (f/m/d) – Data Platforms (Anwendungsprogrammierer/in)

Your mission

- Engineer Scalable Platforms: Design and implement technical solutions for Big Data applications in an agile, high-performance environment.
- Optimize Data Flows: Continuously develop and refine our data aggregation pipelines (TV data, advertising, and forecasting) primarily based on Spark and Scala.
- Cloud-Native Deployment: Host, manage, and scale your solutions using Docker and Kubernetes within the AWS cloud.
- Champion Quality: Lead the way in test automation – from unit tests to complex integration tests. For us, Test Driven Development (TDD) is the only way to build reliable systems.
- Tech Exploration: Evaluate new frameworks and tools, share your findings with the team, and help us stay at the forefront of Big Data technology.

Your skills

- Big Data Expertise: You are experienced with Spark, Hadoop, or similar distributed systems. Experience with Trino, Flowman, or Delta Lake will make you stand out.
- Infrastructure Knowledge: You are comfortable with CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.
- Quality Mindset: You don’t ship without tests. You value efficiency, clean architecture, and pragmatic solutions.
- Open Source Advocate: You love the freedom and transparency of open-source software (you won't find any closed-source or Microsoft stacks here).
- Mindset: A "let's figure it out" attitude, a hands-on mentality, and fluency in German and English.

Why you’ll love working with us

- Build > Talk: We test what works – not what sounds good. Fail fast, learn faster.
- High standards, low ego: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Direct feedback, honest collaboration, no drama.
- Stay sharp: Hackathons, conferences, community – we invest in your growth and keep you at the cutting edge.
- Remote flexibility. In person, when it matters.: You work flexibly remote, with a connection to our Berlin or Cologne locations, where our TV Labs are and we experiment, build, and learn together.
- And yes – the fundamentals are covered too: 30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off, Smart Fridays (4 days week possible), mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad), sports & health offerings, mental health support, corporate benefits, RTL+ access, and more.
