Your role in the team
- As a Data Engineer on our Core Data Engineering team, you will build and maintain the data pipelines, models, and validations that transform raw data into trusted information for the entire company.
- Working with tools like BigQuery and Airflow, our team owns some of trivago's most critical datasets, so analysts, data scientists, and product teams can find, trust, and use data with confidence.
- Our core session-level dataset powers decisions across trivago, and it has grown into a complex system that needs rethinking.
- You will have the freedom to redesign it, challenge the status quo, and push back on requests when you can offer a better way to meet the need.
- Develop data pipelines and data aggregations, including the core session-level dataset that teams across trivago rely on every day.
- Analyze existing and new data sets to understand what data consumers need.
- Build data models that make data easy to use for teams across the company.
- Optimize large-scale data processing jobs and automate workflows with scheduling tools.
- Develop data validations that protect data quality.
- Align deliverables with project team members, proactively pick up tasks from the team's backlog, and document your work so others can build on it.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Ownership beyond the task list: you spot problems nobody assigned to you, diagnose root causes, and come back with a proposed redesign, not just a ticket.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the confidence to challenge a request and propose a better alternative that still meets the underlying need.
- A genuine learning mindset: you approach challenges with curiosity, seek out feedback, and continuously look for ways to develop and grow.
- A performance mindset: you set ambitious goals for yourself, bring bold ideas to the table even when they challenge how things have always been done, and have the determination and resilience to follow through and make them real.
- An open and curious mindset toward AI tools and automation: you actively explore how AI can enhance your engineering work and are excited to grow alongside evolving technologies.
- An understanding of how web APIs and backend services work.
Experience
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines and data models, ideally with Python, SQL, and a workflow scheduler such as Airflow.
- Experience building AI-powered automations that take repetitive engineering work off a team, such as triaging pipeline alerts or investigating failures.
What we offer
- As you grow, so do we. This is why at trivago, we prioritize your development, offer personalized coaching through Nilo, and provide workshops, educational meetups, conferences, free online learning courses, and access to a fully equipped campus library.
- Enjoy your office days. Use your daily canteen budget to share lunch with colleagues in our canteen, help yourself to complimentary snacks and drinks in our kitchens, choose from a variety of fitness options with our on-site gym, sports classes, and Urban Sports Club membership, and enjoy the comfort of ergonomic desks and focused work areas.
- Moving here to join us? No problem. You can count on visa support from our Talent Support team, a relocation package, an interest-free newcomer loan, free language classes, regular team events, and many company-wide events where we can create shared experiences.
- Life happens. We offer self-determined vacation (with a minimum of 25 vacation days), flexible working hours, and up to 2 work-from-home days per week.
- Additionally, you can work remotely from another location in Germany or in selected countries abroad for up to 20 days per year.
- You also get free access to the Heycare platform for personalized nanny assistance, and an on-campus kids room.
