Staff Engineer Data & Intelligence (all genders)

What you will do

• You own and evolve the data architecture across the Data & Intelligence cluster, and build the pipelines that ingest, enrich and process charging, POI, traffic and market data in batch and streaming (Spark, Kafka, Debezium).
• You perform complex data analysis and turn the results into clear recommendations for internal stakeholders and customers.
• You research, build and evaluate forecasting models for charge point and site utilization, using backtesting, error metrics and drift monitoring.
• You develop smart pricing approaches based on market data, forecasts and events, and simulate them before live rollout.
• You make and document architectural and modelling decisions, and communicate trade-offs clearly to engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• You teach and train engineers and analysts in data engineering, analysis and forecasting methods, through workshops, pair programming, design reviews and code-quality feedback.
• You drive AWS and Databricks infrastructure decisions relevant to data delivery, including pipelines and cloud cost awareness.
• You identify and introduce AI tooling that improves analysis, development productivity and data quality.

Your profile

• You are already working at Staff Engineer level (or equivalent), with technical leadership demonstrated across teams, and you combine strong engineering depth with analytical rigour.
• You have strong experience with Python and Spark at production scale, and with relational and NoSQL databases and modern table formats such as Delta Lake, Iceberg or Parquet.
• You perform complex data analysis and research forecasting models, and you evaluate them rigorously rather than trusting the output.
• You have designed batch and streaming architectures, ideally with Kafka, RabbitMQ or CDC tools such as Debezium, including delivery semantics and schema evolution.
• You have strong experience with AWS and understand how cloud infrastructure affects data delivery. Kubernetes and Dagster are a plus.
• You are AI-keen and actively explore and apply AI tools and techniques in your daily work.
• You communicate proactively and clearly, in writing and in conversation, and help teams find a shared direction.
• Experience with e-mobility, energy or mobility data is a plus.
• You are fluent in English; German is a plus.
