The Data Platform team delivers reliable, cost-efficient data processing that scales with growth — so engineers and analysts can focus on business problems instead of wrestling with infrastructure.

The runtime environment is based on Hadoop clusters on EC2 spot instances, dynamically scaling up as required, ensuring high resource utilization and stability. 

Our team is responsible for the development and deployment of the company's next-generation technology, closely collaborating with the company's other branches in San Francisco and Berlin. You will help grow the team through mentoring, code reviews, and knowledge sharing so others can work effectively with our stack.
