Job summary

Statista in Germany is seeking a Data & Analytics Engineer to design, implement, and maintain backend data services powering our data access layer. You will work across data pipelines, ensure robust data models, and collaborate with analytics teams.

You will build CI/CD pipelines on AWS/Kubernetes, manage Kafka schemas, and enable data access in Snowflake and via APIs, while aligning with business requirements and governance standards.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or a related role.
• Strong SQL skills and solid experience in data modeling (e.g., dimensional modeling, star schemas).
• Hands-on experience with event streaming and message distribution, ideally Kafka, including schema management with the Kafka schema registry (Avro, Protobuf, or JSON Schema).
• Experience designing data contracts and schemas between upstream producers and downstream consumers.
• Experience with cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and modern data stack tools (e.g., dbt, CI/CD).
• Openness to AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., Claude Code or similar).
• Comfort working at the boundary of streaming/operational data and analytical data models, and building access layers that serve applications via API.
• Strong attention to detail with a quality-focused and structured working style.
• Interest in data governance, standards, and scalable data architecture.
• Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills in English (German is a plus), with both technical and business stakeholders, combined with a solid understanding of business requirements and contexts.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain backend services in Python that power our data access and distribution layer.
• Build and operate automated build, test, and deployment pipelines following CI/CD and GitOps practices, running on AWS and Kubernetes.
• Design and maintain data models and schemas (Avro, SQL) for our data pipelines and services, and publish them to downstream consumers via our Kafka-based distribution platform and schema registry.
• Build access-layer data models in our analytics environment (e.g., Snowflake) so applications can work with the data directly, including via API.
• Act as the coordination interface between the Data and Tech divisions, aligning priorities, schemas, and timelines across upstream and downstream teams.
