Our stack is Python, SQL, AWS, and Databricks.\nYou report to our Director of Engineering. This is a hands-on engineering role: most of your time goes to designing, building, and shipping. The team is small, so you take ownership of real products early, and you get a manager and colleagues invested in your growth into investment and data-platform topics. You work closely with Quantitative Research, AI Engineering, Product & Data, and the investment team, and we treat agentic AI as a default in how we build.\nWhat you will do\nBuild and improve the internal products the investment and research teams use daily: data pipelines, datasets, APIs, and tooling, on top of our lakehouse and orchestration stack.\n\nWork directly with the teams you build for: take in their requests, triage and prioritise them, protect the integrity and consistency of the product, and explain features and implementation trade-offs in clear, non-technical language.\n\nDesign, build, and operate reliable data pipelines, ETLs and integrations that handle complex financial and alternative datasets.\n\nBring and reinforce good engineering habits in the team: automated testing at several levels, CI/CD, pull requests and code review, and clear documentation.\n\nContribute to operational excellence: observability, monitoring, data quality, and secure data handling.\n\nUse agentic AI across engineering work (coding, review, testing, debugging, documentation) and help the team push these practices forward.\n\nThe experience you bring\n3 to 5 years of professional software or data engineering experience, building and operating systems in production.\n\nStrong Python and strong SQL, with clean, readable code and a good sense for data modelling.\n\nProven engineering discipline: you write tests (unit, integration, data quality), work with CI/CD, and use pull requests and code review as a matter of course, and you can show how you helped a team adopt them.\n\nClear communication with non-engineers: you can explain what you built, why, and what it will and will not do, and you can say no constructively.\n\nHands-on use of AI across engineering functions, including frontier coding systems such as Claude Code and Codex, as a core part of how you work.\n\nGenuine interest in investing, financial markets and data, and the ambition to grow into these topics.\n\nNice to have: Databricks or PySpark; data platform tooling such as orchestration (Airflow, Dagster or similar), lakehouse formats (Parquet, Delta, Iceberg) and AWS; experience with investment, financial or market data; building web frontends or APIs for internal tools; LLM systems in production.\n\n2 reasons why you should not apply\nYou prefer fully specified tickets and no contact with users. Here the people you build for sit next to you, ask for things directly, and expect you to weigh in on what should be built and how.\n\nYou treat AI tooling as an occasional helper. We expect agentic AI to be a default in how you build, review, test, and ship, every day, not now and then.\n\nYour mindset\nYou are a builder who loves to ship: pragmatic on trade-offs, careful on quality. You move fast, but fast does not mean sloppy.\n\nYou care about correctness, reliability, security, and long-term maintainability, and you leave codebases and teams better than you found them.\n\nYou are curious about how investment decisions are made and want to understand the data behind them, not just move it.\n\nYou see AI-powered development as a competitive advantage, not a novelty, and use agentic AI as a core part of how you work.\n\nYou communicate clearly on progress, trade-offs, and risk, and you own problems end-to-end.\n\nWhat we offer\nWork with petabytes of data and the most cutting-edge tools in and beyond asset management, with Day 1 ownership of challenging, varied work and a steep learning curve.\n\nBecome part of a unique success story in European asset management, alongside the most knowledgeable experts in the industry on one of the most consequential investment themes of the next decade.\n\nA motivated, highly international team (15 nationalities) that gathers in person at our Berlin HQ and supports each other, with flat hierarchies and direct interaction with our management team and investors.\n\nVisa sponsorship, relocation support, and a competitive compensation package with a meaningful variable component tied to fund performance.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4709,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Asset Management & Funds","Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-17T09:12:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":69,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.771,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":17,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:5","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T14:17:01Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bit-capital-engineer-data-platforms-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bit-capital-engineer-data-platforms-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T14:17:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19146,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2533801},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2533801"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbit-capital-engineer-data-platforms-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbit-capital-engineer-data-platforms-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbit-capital-engineer-data-platforms-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bit-capital-engineer-data-platforms-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbit-capital-engineer-data-platforms-mfd"}]}
