Trusted Shops develops SaaS solutions for over 30 million users and 30.000 companies all over Europe. Our product suite includes products such as the Trustmark, buyer protection and the experience feedback platform eTrusted. With our products we pursue the mission to enable trust between people and businesses in the digital age over the last 20 years.
The Data Platform Team contributes to this mission by providing the foundation of data-driven work, both for our colleagues, and for our customers. Ranging from metrics that measure our product usage and success, to facts and figures that provide guidance to our customers to improve their business.
All these outcomes require quality data, and that’s why we are looking for a Data Engineer that thrives in a creative, changing environment, loves to build great products, and is passionate about positively impacting the user experience.
You will support a diverse team. We have Data Engineers, Cloud Engineers, Analysts, and support from a Product Owner and Agile Coach, working as a cross-functional team.
We believe in the "You build it, you own it" philosophy, where you take charge of shepherding changes through every stage until they go live in production.
What will you be working on?
In your role, you will write Python and SQL, with the potential for some Terraform. Your focus will be in supporting and enabling the team colleagues but also being part of the implementation topics. You should be comfortable building data applications in a cloud environment (we use AWS).
Our applications use a wide range of data engineering tools, such as Airbyte, AWS Kinesis Firehose, Dagster, DuckDB, Luigi, Iceberg, Metabase and many more to achieve our goals of providing services and APIs, orchestrating data ingestion and transformation journeys from source systems to high quality datasets. We currently are focused on building the Analytics Layer, an API which provides aggregated datasets at low latencies. You’ll be supporting us in making all this happen at scale.
What your main tasks and responsibilities will be:
-
You build and present standard interfaces to ingest, transform and serve data within the Data Platform
-
You take ownership of implementing, monitoring, and maintaining data pipelines.
-
You ensure data quality and transparency of our data, using quality checks, monitoring, and alerting across the entire data lifecycle.
-
You collaborate with the team to identify opportunities which further innovate the Data Platform, leveraging existing or new technologies.
-
You onboard our data providers, lowering the barrier to provide data to our platform.
-
You communicate with stakeholders and team members to identify their needs and can translate these requirements into tangible outcomes.

A typical day as a Data Engineer (f/m/d) at Trusted Shops:
-
Time to get started, either from your home, or at the office.
-
Open JIRA, our task manager, and pick a topic you’d like to work on: a quick win, or maybe the start of a bigger project? It’s up to you.
-
Check in with us in the daily standup. Need any help? We’re here for you. We tend to keep dailies focused and short, but we’ll also stick around for small talk every now and then. Who knows, maybe your teammates are working on something interesting, and you’d like to join?
-
Depending on the daily, you’ll start working alone for a bit, or maybe you decided to tackle something in a pair or mob programming session?
-
Lunch break! We’re flexible between 12:00 and 14:00. If we’re in the office together, maybe we’ll visit our favorite lunch and coffee places in Cologne.
-
In the office today? Maybe it’s Waffle Day or Health Day? Don’t forget to grab a freshly baked waffle or a smoothie before getting back to your desk.
-
Had a good lunch break? Let’s continue what you’ve started before lunch, either on your own or with the team.
-
Let’s call it a day! If you’re in the office, there are free drinks on the rooftop terrace, if you’d like.
-
Or maybe it’s the monthly self-education day? In that case, there’s no meetings! You’re free to pick something you’d like to learn and improve on. There’s also Tech Talks, where you can learn from your colleagues.
