Overview

About ONIQ

ONIQ is on a mission to transform manufacturing for a more sustainable and efficient future. With IQA, our Production Excellence Software, we are pioneering a new category in industrial tech - combining lean production principles with AI process mining and advanced data analytics. Our software empowers manufacturers to systematically identify inefficiencies, accelerate improvements and scale operational excellence across their global production networks.

We are a highly motivated team with a strong sense of ownership and passion for what we do. Our entrepreneurial mindset and commitment to innovation have enabled us to grow fast and shape the future of digital lean and green manufacturing. At ONIQ culture is just as important as product. We foster an environment rooted in authenticity, diversity, integrity and mutual respect - where everyone is encouraged to bring their whole self to work.

What you will do

As a Lead Cloud & Data Engineer you will be at the heart of our product development, taking full ownership of our multi-cloud infrastructure and backend services. Working within a self-organized agile team you will build and deploy IQA, the Production Excellence Software that drives our customers’ success. Together with the development team you will:

• Design, build and scale our multi-cloud infrastructure, developing, deploying and monitoring container-based services using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and serving large-scale Fortune 500 enterprises
• Architect and own our core customer data processing framework powering data integration and enabling new users to onboard at record speed
• Develop and optimize high-performance APIs and manufacturing data processing pipelines directly enhancing the frameworks that power our AI products
• Shape the future of our product by co-defining and implementing new features and technical strategies
• Champion innovation by researching new technologies and driving knowledge sharing across the team

What we expect from you

• A genuine interest in industrial production systems and our mission to revolutionize manufacturing through a B2B SaaS product.
• An entrepreneurial spirit and the ambition to take an active role in building a fast-growing startup
• Extensive experience in cloud architecture and infrastructure, particularly with Kubernetes, major providers (GCP, Azure, AWS) and IaC frameworks (Terraform / OpenTofu / Pulumi and similar).
• Deep expertise in Python, including data processing libraries (Polars, Arrow, DataFusion and similar) and API development (e.g. FastAPI). Experience with languages such as TypeScript / React or Rust is a bonus but not required
• Proven ability in data engineering, including data transformation, storage solutions (object storage, OLTP / OLAP / Cache databases) and pipeline orchestration (e.g. Dagster, Prefect, Airflow).
• A strong sense of ownership and excellent organizational skills with the ability to work independently and drive projects forward.
• 7 years of experience in software engineering, cloud infrastructure, backend development or a similar role.
• Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Willingness to travel to our Cologne office occasionally for in-person workshops and team events.

What we offer

• We work differently - we highly value transparency, integrity and authenticity. We trust and respect each other which leads to a very collaborative working environment where everyone can contribute ideas and decisions are made based on competency.
• We are agile and fast-paced; you will have the opportunity to take on as much responsibility as you want and push your personal and our progress beyond your job description.
• We truly care about work culture and make it a priority by reflecting on our teamwork, committing time to keep our team spirit, and incorporating activities to create balance.
• We embrace diversity with team members from nine nationalities and 40% female representation (with a clear ambition to reach 50%), including a female CEO among the founders.
• We contribute to fighting climate change by helping our industrial manufacturing customers reduce carbon emissions with our products, and by being carbon neutral as a company.
• All other benefits that make work more pleasant: flexible hours, part-time options, possibility to work remotely, regular team events and offsites, 30 days PTO, weekly yoga sessions, etc.
