About the Role

We are looking for a driven and motivated Data Engineer to help build the streaming data lakehouse for German governments. At DKSR, we are building an urban data hub for cities and regions, enabling them to use their data more efficiently for the benefit of all. You will join the product development team to build and operate the data infrastructure powering CIVORA, working with the Data Architect to bring concepts into production-ready systems and support cutting-edge use cases.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the continued development of the data infrastructure that powers CIVORA - from platform components to internal tooling
Collaborate with product and project delivery teams to shape a reusable, scalable and well-documented data infrastructure
Design and maintain data pipelines (batch & streaming) that serve multiple cities and use cases
Support the project delivery team on the most complex and mission-critical use cases - setting a track record of best practices and design patterns for all to learn from
Write clean, maintainable code – you are as much a software engineer as a data engineer
Propose and prototype new approaches; challenge existing patterns when you see a better way – you will be able to take ownership

Requirements

1–3 years of relevant experience in data engineering and software development
B.Sc. in Computer Science, Data Science, Data Engineering, or related field (M.Sc. preferred; equivalent professional experience also works)
Python – data processing (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn) as well as structured software development (modular design, clean APIs, testable code)
SQL – understanding of relational database design and confident querying
Pipeline orchestration – hands-on experience with Apache Airflow or similar
Streaming systems – familiarity with the Kafka protocol or similar
Docker – containerization as part of your daily workflow
Cloud & IaC – working knowledge of cloud concepts and infrastructure-as-code principles (Helm, Terraform)
English – comfortable in both spoken and written communication
Communication – proactive team player and direct communicator
Experience with agentic development (GitHub, CoPilot or Claude is enough, no need for crazy sub-agent workflows)
Kubernetes – experience with container orchestration and cluster operations
Cloud platforms – hands-on with AWS, Azure, or GCP
Additional languages – able to read and poke Java, JavaScript, Rust, or Go alongside Python
Experience with parts of our stack – willingness to learn, understand, and operate matters more than ticking every box
German – not required, but highly valuable for external stakeholder communication
