Platform & Data | AI-driven B2B SaaS | Global impact

I’m working with an AI-driven B2B SaaS company in the agri-tech / food-production space, using data and machine learning to optimise complex physical systems at scale.

This is not a volume hire. It’s a bar‑raising, senior role for someone who genuinely enjoys building and operating serious systems.

The role sits at the intersection of backend engineering and data platform architecture. You’ll help shape and evolve a Databricks‑based data platform while staying close to the code and influencing how teams across the company build with data.

They’re looking for someone who:

• Has built and operated production systems end‑to‑end
• Has hands‑on experience with Databricks or Snowflake
• Is strong in Python and Golang
• Is comfortable spinning up APIs and backend services, not just pipelines
• Thinks in systems, not silos
• Cares more about impact than titles

Important: This is not a pure data engineering role. They are explicitly looking for a platform‑minded engineer who can move comfortably between data platforms and backend services. Python‑only or analytics‑first profiles won’t be a fit.

The good stuff (tooling‑forward)

• Observability that actually works: Datadog
• AI‑augmented development using Cursor + modern LLM tooling

And the practical perks

• 2 days in the office per week
• Annual training budget, also budget for home office set‑up and €50/month internet & phone reimbursement
• Pension
• Mental well‑being guidance through Openup
• Unlimited holidays + Remote working (up to 4 weeks per year)
• Up to 120k for the right hire.

High autonomy. Low bureaucracy. Informal technical leadership. Real‑world impact. Sparring partner to the CTO.

If this sounds like you, or someone you respect, drop me a message. We’re heading into the holidays now, so replies may be delayed by excessive food, too much alcohol, and poor self‑control.
