Data Engineer (m/f/d) – Berlin

Your Impact

At Bees & Bears, data is the backbone of everything we do. As our first dedicated Data Engineer, you'll build the foundation that allows us to scale - cleanly, reliably, and without adding operational chaos.

Right now, our data lives in silos across tools, teams, and processes. Manual work fills the gaps, and that's a bottleneck we need to solve. You'll design and own the infrastructure that changes that: a single source of truth that powers decisions across Risk, Finance, Product, and Operations.

You'll work closely with our Engineering, Product, Risk, and Finance teams, as well as directly with our leadership, to understand what data they need and make sure they can actually use it.

Your Mission

• Build and maintain robust data pipelines across all core systems

• Design and implement our company data warehouse from the ground up

• Integrate data from internal systems, APIs, and third-party tools

• Ensure data reliability, consistency, and accessibility across the company

• Enable teams with clean, structured data for faster and better decision-making

• Define data ownership, naming conventions, and quality standards that scale

• Must-have:

  • Strong SQL and Python skills - you're genuinely comfortable writing complex queries and automating data workflows

  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines end to end

  • Experience with data warehouse setup and data modeling

  • Proven ability to work independently and build systems from scratch

• Strong preference:

  • Experience with modern data stack tools such as dbt, Airflow, Snowflake, or BigQuery

  • Background in a startup or high-growth environment

  • Experience collaborating with Product, Risk, or Finance teams

• Nice to have:

  • Experience with BI tools and dashboarding

  • Basic understanding of financial data or fintech processes

  • Experience with data quality, testing, and monitoring frameworks

  • Familiarity with data privacy and security requirements

Growth & Culture

We move fast, we're building a lot from scratch, and we're learning something new every day. You'll be part of a team that doesn't just work, it truly builds something, with a strong sense of ownership and genuine team spirit.

Impact

Your job has a direct impact on the energy transition. Period.

And because this is important to us, we offer extra days off for climate activism.

Flexibility

We work in a hybrid, trust-based environment.

Working from home is the norm for us, two days a week are standard and flexible. We structure the rest in whatever way best supports collaboration and focus within the team.

And if it works for you and your team, you can also work from other locations, workations are possible here.

Perks

You'll receive a flexible bonus that you can use however you like, sports, culture, travel, whatever works for you.

Food & Energy

Long days happen. When the office is running, so is the food: just order something to the office via Wolt.

Team & Vibe

We take our mission seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Offsites, team nights, and our "Bees & Beers" are just as much a part of the job as the work itself.
