And with each phase, new questions arise: small ones, big ones, practical ones, emotional ones. Glimmer helps to see more clearly what's happening right now, what's important, and what's right.\n\nWe combine in-depth expert knowledge, a digital midwife consultation service, and practical tips in one app. This way, customers will find reliable answers, prenatal and postpartum recovery classes, and support all in one place. Accessible, compassionate, and tailored.\n\nGlimmer is covered by over 80 health insurance providers and supports customers from their child's first heartbeat to their first steps. So they can navigate this journey with greater clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.\n\nGlimmer is a Berlin-based start-up with around 40 employees. As our Senior Data Engineer, you'll be part of the Data & Engineering team and play a key role in building the data foundations that help us turn insight into better care for every family we support.\n\nTasks\n\nRole Overview:\n\nWe're looking for a motivated and highly autonomous Data Engineer to build and own the foundations of our data platform. You'll enjoy this role if you like ownership, can design reliable and scalable data pipelines, and care about giving every team clean, trustworthy data. You'll also be handling sensitive health data, so we need someone who treats privacy and security as core engineering principles.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like:\n\nOver the last seven years, and through several acquisitions, our data landscape has grown into a patchwork of systems, pipelines and workarounds. Your biggest impact will be replacing that complexity with a single, modern data warehouse and a platform that is simple, well documented and easy to build on.\n\nIn practice, success means:\n\nWithin your first 3 months: You've mapped our current data landscape, including legacy systems, inherited sources from acquisitions, pipelines and dependencies, and you've shared a clear target architecture and migration plan that the team supports.\n\nWithin 6 months: The foundations of the new data warehouse are live, the most important data sources are migrated, and the first legacy pipelines and tools have been retired.\n\nWithin 12 months: The new warehouse is our single source of truth. Redundant systems are gone, core metrics are defined consistently across the business, and teams trust the data without double-checking it.\n\nThroughout: Data is easier to find, understand and use. Onboarding a new source or answering a new question takes days, not weeks, and the platform is documented well enough that it doesn't depend on any one person.\n\nWhat You'll Do:\n\nDesign, build and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using SQL, Python and PostgreSQL\n\nOwn and evolve our cloud data infrastructure on AWS (primarily EC2 & RDS), balancing performance, reliability, security and cost.\n\nOwn the end-to-end engineering of our automated insurance invoicing pipeline, so that reimbursement, claim status and financial data flow accurately and reliably into downstream systems\n\nBuild and maintain ingestion pipelines that connect product, web, CRM and advertising platforms (e.g. Amplitude, Meta, Google Ads, HubSpot) into a unified data model\n\nDevelop and maintain integrations with internal and external tools and SaaS products via REST APIs\n\nDesign and implement data models and warehouse schemas that support business reporting, product analytics, experimentation and regulatory requirements\n\nPut data quality, testing, monitoring and alerting in place so problems are caught before they reach stakeholders\n\nOrchestrate and automate workflows, and apply software engineering best practices (version control, CI/CD, code review, documentation)\n\nMake sure data is handled in line with GDPR, health data privacy requirements, and internal policies, including access control, pseudonymisation and retention policies\n\nWork closely with Marketing, Product and Finance to understand their data needs and deliver datasets that feed tools such as AWS Quicksight\n\nShare knowledge and coach team members on data concepts, tooling and best practices\n\nRequirements\n\nYour Profile:\n\n3+ years' experience in Data Engineering or a closely related role, ideally in a startup or scale-up\n\nStrong hands-on skills in SQL, Python, PostgreSQL and AWS (EC2/RDS)\n\nA track record of building and owning data pipelines and warehouse architectures from scratch in fast-moving environments\n\nExperience with API integrations, workflow automation and version control (GitHub)\n\nSolid understanding of data modelling, data quality practices and pipeline observability\n\nAwareness of data privacy and security, ideally with experience handling sensitive or regulated data (GDPR)\n\nNice to have: experience with orchestration tools (e.g. Airflow, Dagster), transformation frameworks (e.g. dbt), infrastructure as code, or BI tools like AWS Quicksight\n\nA high degree of autonomy, curiosity and ownership\n\nFluent in English, German is a plus\n\nBenefits\n\nWhy Glimmer\n\nReal Ownership from Day 1: You'll own the architecture and foundations of our data platform, not just execute a roadmap, but shape it.\n\nGrowth Through Challenge, Not Stagnation: You'll build deep expertise in modern data architecture, regulated health data handling, and cross-functional platform ownership, while coaching others along the way.\n\nClose to the Business: You'll work closely with Marketing, Product and Finance, seeing firsthand how clean, trustworthy data shapes real decisions across the company.\n\nPurpose: You're building the data backbone for a digital health platform that supports women and families through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.\n\nMentoring & Team Culture: You'll be part of a motivated, diverse team that shares knowledge and supports each other.\n\nCommunity: Regular team breakfasts and fixed celebrations throughout the year keep the team connected.\n\nWork-Life & Perks: 30 days of paid vacation, an Urban Sports Club membership and 3 months remote work allowance are waiting for you.\n\nOur Hiring Process\n\nScreening Call (15 min) A quick intro to get to know each other.\n\nFirst Interview (45 min) A deeper conversation about your experience and the role.\n\nCase Study (4 hours) A practical task that reflects the kind of work you'd be doing with us.\n\nCase Study Interview (1.5 hours) We'll walk through your solution together.\n\nFinal Round (1 hour) Meet the team and get a feel for how we work.\n\nFind more English Speaking Jobs in Germany on
