About the role

Your Role
We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer (f/m/d) at LIQID, who will play a pivotal role in building and scaling data infrastructure that powers decision-making.
You will design scalable, high-performance data pipelines, ensure data integrity, and drive efficient data processing across the organization. Working closely with our Head of Data, Analytics Engineers, and cross-functional teams, you will develop robust data architectures, enhance data security, and implement best practices that empower data-driven decision-making at scale.
This is not a role where you preserve what already exists. It is a role where you build what comes next. As LIQID scales beyond €4 billion in assets under management, the demands on our data infrastructure are growing fast. You will have real ownership over how we meet that challenge, with the autonomy to propose solutions and the backing to ship them.
 
What will keep you challenged?
Design, build, and optimize scalable data pipelines and storage solutions that ensure efficient, secure, and reliable data processing from source systems to our data warehouse

Develop and manage ETL/ELT workflows to integrate data from multiple sources, ensuring seamless ingestion, transformation, and availability

Implement and enforce data quality, validation, and monitoring processes to guarantee accuracy and integrity for analytics and operational use cases

Ensure data security and compliance by applying best practices and industry standards for handling sensitive information

Collaborate with analysts, product managers, and engineers to understand data needs and deliver solutions that unlock new insights

Continuously evaluate and integrate new technologies to improve scalability, performance, and future-proof LIQID’s data infrastructure

What you bring
Over 5 years of professional experience in data engineering, data architecture, or a similar data related role

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field

Strong proficiency in SQL, Python and ETL/ELT frameworks, with experience in data modelling, warehousing, and database management (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL)

Experience with cloud data platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud) and modern data pipeline tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt)

Solid understanding of data modelling principles to meet data governance, security, and compliance best practices and ensure safe and scalable data operations

FinTech experience is a plus, but a strong interest in financial services and data-driven decision-making is essential

Experience using AI coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude) to speed up development and integrating them into standard workflows (code review, CI/CD), with the judgment to verify output, not just ship it.

Experience with data quality testing frameworks or rules-as-code approaches (e.g. dbt tests, Great Expectations) to catch issues before they hit production.

Experience with streaming/near-real-time pipelines (Kafka, Kinesis, or similar) is a plus.

Fluent in English, both written and spoken; German is a plus

What we offer
Diversity: Flat hierarchies and cultural openness make you an integral part of our diverse team of international talents from day one.

Flexibility: We don’t complicate your life. You’ll find the right balance with flexible work models, working hours, and remote work options. 28 days of vacation and two additional days off on December 24 and 31 ensure you have ample time to unwind.

Appreciation: You’ll help shape the future of digital wealth management with us in an innovative, multi-award-winning company on a growth trajectory, with high market relevance and plenty of space for your ideas.

Development: We support your personal and professional growth with an annual development budget of €1,500. Additionally, at the start of your tenure at LIQID, you’ll receive high-quality equipment, including a MacBook, headphones, and a display.

Smart Money: As a LIQIDian, you'll enjoy attractive terms for our investment strategies, a monthly lunch allowance, and exclusive discounts with various providers.

Well-being: Regional organic products keep you fit in the office, and our health initiatives or Health Assistance Program go far beyond that.
