What’s the opportunity?

Are you a data rock star who loves building automation pipelines and delivering seamless data operations? Come join our forward-thinking team in the air freight & logistics space -an industry on the cusp of digital transformation!

We’re backed by leading VCs (Index, Bessemer) and thrive on a remote-first culture across Europe. You’ll be part of a feedback-driven, fun, and ambitious environment, with the option for visa support if you’re already based in Germany. If you’re eager to keep learning and make a huge impact through scale and innovation - this role is for you!

You can work from (almost) anywhere in Europe. Please check here if the country you are in is on our hiring list. We are a remote company, but regularly meet in person, too.

A snapshot of what you will be doing here:

• Design and automate data pipelines, ensuring end-to-end efficiency.

• Maintain data completeness and reliability, building for scalability.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine processes and drive customer success.

• Create a robust infrastructure for handling diverse content and datasets.

️ We’re looking for someone who has:

• You’re a SQL rock star, so fluent in advanced queries that you speak them like your mother tongue.

• Hands-on Python experience (you’ve dabbled before, ready to scale up further).

• Passion for automated workflows—always on the lookout for opportunities to optimise.

• A keen eye for detail, catching issues or inconsistencies early on.

• In everything you do, you take ownership and get a kick out of exceeding expectations.

• You love experimenting with new ideas and get super excited when you find an opportunity for process improvement.

• When faced with the choice, you’d rather opt for the ambitious to ensure you grow, than take the easy option.

• You see the value of giving and receiving feedback and incorporate this into everything you do.

• You are not afraid to voice your opinions and like using data to back them up.

We are currently offering the following benefits globally:

• Home office budget of €650 which can be used to purchase items such as a desk, chair, mouse, keyboard & monitor, etc. On top of that, choose between MacBook Air (M3 chip) or Dell XPS and have it delivered prior to your starting date.

• 24 paid vacation days on top of the bank holidays (specific to the country you are in) and special leaves.
