About the role

Join the team rewriting the rules in private markets.

Moonfare delivers what few others can: the highly sought-after funds and hidden-gem investments that go beyond what most private banks offer. Every opportunity is subjected to a ruthless vetting process; the bar is unforgivingly high. The result? Institutional-quality portfolios for investors who demand more.

Our team combines finance veterans with talent from tech, consulting, law and industries you’d never expect. Headquartered in Berlin, we operate from eight offices across Europe, the US and Asia.

If you're ready to build what's next in private markets, let's talk.

Data Engineer (m/f/d)

We're looking for a Data Engineer who has hands-on experience integrating databases and external APIs, understands AWS infrastructure, and is comfortable working with tools like DBT to model and transform data. You'll help build and scale our data platform from ingestion through to the warehouse layer, powering AI Agents, BI, and business decisions across the organization.

You will:

Build and maintain data pipelines from ingestion through to storage

Take end-to-end ownership of pipeline components

Model data using data lake and warehouse concepts, and contribute to performance improvements (partitioning, file formats, tuning)

Apply data governance and security practices in your work (least-privilege IAM, encryption, PII handling)

Support the team with data quality, coding consistency and data availability

Collaborate with analysts and stakeholders to translate requirements into working data solutions

Identify, formulate, and propose improvements to your own and your team’s practices

The Next Moonfarian:

2–4 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines in production

Strong Python and advanced SQL skills

Basic Scala experience, or a willingness to pick it up

If not, excellent domain of Java or C#

Familiarity with DBT (models, tests, documentation)

Solid working knowledge of AWS or another major cloud provider

Experience with relational databases and data warehouses

Confident in Git, CI/CD, and modern deployment practices

Practical experience with Docker

Solution-oriented, strong attention to detail, and open to feedback and mentorship

Nice to have:

Experience with Apache Spark or a similar distributed processing framework

Working knowledge of K8

Bash scripting

Flyway or similar SQL migration tools

If you feel you do not meet all of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply!
