Senior Data Platform & Analytics Engineer

Polarsteps; Pays-Bas; Sur place; EUR 90 000 - 120 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Polarsteps, Amsterdam-based travel app with millions of users, seeks a Senior Data & Analytics Engineer to own data platform, governance, and insights workflows. You will shape our data infra, partner with Product and Growth, and enable self-serve analytics across teams.

You’ll work closely with Engineering and Growth stakeholders to deliver reliable data, scalable pipelines, and privacy-conscious data handling in a fast-growing product environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in data engineering, analytics engineering, or a hybrid data role in a B2C product or mobile app.
• Strong SQL and Python, with experience modelling large event datasets in a modern warehouse.
• Experience with dbt and orchestration tools like Airflow or Dagster.
• Proven data governance experience: tracking plans, event ownership, documentation, data quality.
• Experience with product analytics tools (Mixpanel, Amplitude) and BI tools (Metabase, Looker).
• Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure) and IaC (Terraform).
• Ownership-driven mindset and strong communication.

Responsabilités

• Own the data platform roadmap: set the strategy for our data infrastructure and warehouse, make the build-vs-buy and tooling calls, and oversee execution together with DevOps.
• Design, build and maintain scalable ingestion pipelines for both internal (product events, back-end data) and external sources (ad platforms, attribution, app store data).
• Build and maintain a clean, documented modeling layer (e.g. dbt) that serves as the single source of truth for analysts, data scientists and self-serving PMs.
• Lead data governance: define and enforce event naming and tracking standards, a schema change process, documentation, and dashboard ownership.
• Embed privacy in the data stack: make sure personal data is categorized, minimized and pseudonymized before it reaches downstream and third-party tools, in close collaboration with Legal
• Own the health of the stack: monitoring, alerting, data quality checks and cost management, so issues are caught before they reach stakeholders.
• Define who owns what across our data tooling (e.g. Mixpanel, our warehouse and BI layer), and help teams get the most out of self-serve analytics.
• Enable data enrichment to unlock deeper insights for Product and Growth.
• Explore how we can safely use LLMs (such as Claude) on top of our data for analysis and reporting.
• Act as the go-to data partner for Product, Engineering and Growth, and help grow the data function as Polarsteps scales.
