Data Engineer

Hello, we are AMBOSS and we are looking for a Data Engineer to join our team!

AMBOSS is a learning and clinical decision support tool striving to empower physicians across the globe to provide the best possible care. Our founders set out in 2011 to create a tool that they would have hoped to have as medical students and doctors. Since then we have grown to currently operate in 180 countries and have gained immense traction in Germany and the US. Currently, we are pursuing this mission with more than 500+ employees in our offices in Berlin, Cologne, New York, and Cagliari.

Join a high-trust, cross-functional team where data is the backbone of every product decision, experiment, and growth bet. Working side-by-side with Product, Engineering, Commercial, and Medical colleagues, you will turn a modern stack into reliable insights and scalable pipelines. Your contributions guide decisions that reach millions of learners and clinicians worldwide, directly advancing our mission to enable doctors to provide the best possible care.

As a mid-level Data Engineer you will design, build, and maintain the pipelines and infrastructure that keep our analytics and operational workflows running smoothly. You will work hands-on with modern tooling while collaborating closely with analysts, scientists, and software engineers.

• Evolve the platform. Enhance our data warehouse and broader data platform with modern best practices.

• Build pipelines. Develop and operate batch and real-time ETL/ELT workflows in Python with Airflow and Airbyte.

• Enable others. Translate stakeholder requirements into high-quality, documented data products.

• Raise the bar. Uphold CI/CD, testing, and data modelling standards.

• Share knowledge. Contribute to code reviews, architecture discussions, and internal learning sessions.

• Thinking at the platform level—designing for scalability, reliability, and self-service.

• Staying tool agnostic—selecting or retiring technology based on evidence.

• Writing clean, maintainable code and spotting data-quality issues early.

• Communicating clearly with technical and non-technical colleagues.

• 2 + years in data-engineering or related software roles, running production pipelines.

• Strong SQL and hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake).

• Solid Python skills; familiarity with Airflow and Airbyte (or similar).

• Exposure to AWS and/or GCP plus modern CI/CD workflows.

• Understanding of data-warehousing and data-modelling principles; dbt experience is a plus.

• Problem-solving attitude, attention to detail, and appetite for growth.

• Excellent English communication (German a plus).

• Bonus: experience with AI/LLM workloads, embeddings, or vector databases.
