Strategy-Jobs in United States

THE ROLE & THE TEAM

Join us to help develop the ZMS advertisement platform that aims to inspire, engage, and inform Zalando shoppers through brand-curated and highly relevant advertising experiences. Our goal is to support the shopping journey by enabling our partners to promote their brand, stories, and products.

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will create a top-tier reporting infrastructure focused on user experience for our fashion brands' advertising on Zalando. You'll help them understand their advertising performance and make informed decisions through data. While primarily data engineering, knowledge of backend development (e.g., APIs) will be beneficial as the team also develops some backend components.

INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN

At Zalando, our vision is to be the starting point for fashion, designed to be inclusive. We assess candidates based on qualifications, merit, and business needs, welcoming applicants of all gender identities, sexual orientations, personal expressions, racial and ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, and disabilities. Please avoid including personal details such as your picture, age, or marital status in your CV.

We aim to provide a positive candidate experience. Let us know if you need accommodations during the hiring process.
