About Andercore

Andercore is the AI-native supplier of industrial materials and goods for energy and infrastructure. We execute trade and distribution end-to-end, on our own account, at the speed of compute - and we are becoming the supplier of record for the entire industry.

Industrial procurement is a €900B market in Europe alone and the largest manual market on earth. 95% of customers have no direct access to global supply chains. Materials pass through four or five intermediaries before they reach a site, and 40% of the margin evaporates on the way. For decades, the operating system of this industry was people: people to source, negotiate, finance, ship, and sell.

We built the alternative from scratch. We are the supplier. We buy from global sources and sell to European customers on our own account. Our AI runs the full trade: sourcing, quality, pricing, sales, logistics, credit, and financing. One request. A firm quote in minutes. Delivered on time. For the customer, it feels like buying from their preferred local supplier. No warehouses. No fleet. No inventory risk. Every trade is pre-sold before it is bought.

We are also the credit counterparty. Customers are scored and insured in minutes and get up to 60 days of payment terms priced into the quote itself. The working capital behind every trade is bank-funded, not equity-funded.

Where We Are Today

• Strong triple-digit-million euro turnover run rate, the majority of it from repeat customers
• Seven European markets live, sourced from suppliers across Asia and beyond
• 80+ people across Berlin (HQ), London, and Shanghai
• $90M raised in equity and debt, including our $40M Series B, from Atomico, Project A, Target Global, and Inven Capital - with working capital facilities from UniCredit and KfW

Why this role, why now

We already run on Databricks, and we have a Head of Data who owns metrics, KPIs and business analytics. What's missing is the engineer who makes the platform solid: clean ingestion, a trustworthy model of our commercial and logistics domain, and a foundation ready for the next step, which is dynamic pricing and demand sensing.

You'll be the first dedicated data platform hire. You'll set the standards the team grows into, with a path to leading a small data engineering team as we scale.

What You Will Do

• Own our Databricks lakehouse end to end: ingestion from Salesforce and our operational systems, storage, pipeline architecture, orchestration and governance
• Model the commercial and logistics domain (quotes, orders, margins, suppliers, shipments) into clean, trusted datasets that finance, sales, procurement and logistics can all use without keeping their own version of the truth
• Work closely with our Head of Data to turn business questions into reusable datasets and metrics, not one-off exports
• Build the data foundation for pricing, forecasting and our AI agents: features, signals, historical snapshots and feedback loops that tell us whether a decision was right
• Make data quality observable: tests, monitoring and alerting, so broken pipelines and silent schema drift get caught before a buyer notices
• Add near-real-time processing where the business needs to act now, and keep things simple where batch is enough

Who You Are

• 5+ years in data engineering, with real ownership of a platform rather than a single pipeline
• Deep SQL and Python, plus hands-on experience with Spark and a lakehouse (Databricks strongly preferred: Delta Lake, Workflows, Unity Catalog)
• You've used a CRM or ERP as a primary source system and know what it means to model messy operational data that people edit by hand
• Comfortable with infrastructure as code and with software engineering practices for data (version control, CI, testing)
• You talk to non-technical stakeholders easily and push back when a request should be solved differently
• You work well in a Series B setting where priorities shift and nobody hands you a finished spec
• You use AI coding tools as a natural part of your work and know where they help and where they don't

Nice to have

• Streaming experience (Kafka, Kinesis or equivalent)
• Machine learning and statistical analysis, especially applied to forecasting or pricing
• Salesforce
• Experience in commerce, marketplaces or supply chain, and an interest in catalog, pricing and fulfilment problems
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field

What We Offer

• A growing 12-person product and engineering team where you own your area end to end
• A company where data work is not a support function: our agents and our margin depend on it directly
• Hybrid setup in Berlin
• Direct access to the founders and to the commercial teams whose problems you are solving

We are an equal-opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or any other characteristic. We believe that diversity drives innovation, creativity, and collective strength.
