About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Own, Design & Operate Data Pipelines – Take full responsibility for all pandas- and Spark-based pipelines, from development through production and monitoring.
  • Advance our ML Models – Improve and productionise models for AdTech use-cases such as look-a-like modelling, audience expansion, and campaign measurement.
  • Engineer for the Invisible – Because data inside confidential enclaves is literally invisible (even to root), build extra-robust validation at the data source, exhaustive test coverage, and self-healing jobs to guarantee reliability.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally – Work closely with data scientists, backend engineers (Rust), and product teams to ship features end-to-end.
  • AI-Powered Productivity – Leverage LLM-based code assistants, design generators, and test-automation tools to move faster and raise the quality bar. Share your workflows with the team.
  • Drive Continuous Improvement – Profile, benchmark, and tune Spark workloads, introduce best practices in orchestration & observability, and keep our tech stack future-proof.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Bachelor/Master/PhD in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field and 5+ years of professional experience.
  • Expert-level Python plus solid hands-on experience with pandas, PySpark/Scala Spark, and distributed-data processing.
  • Proven track record building resilient, production-grade data pipelines with rigorous data-quality and validation checks.
  • Experience running workloads in Databricks, Spark on Kubernetes, or other cloud/on-prem big-data platforms.
  • Working knowledge of ML lifecycle and model serving; familiarity with techniques for audience segmentation or look-a-like modelling is a big plus.
  • Exposure to confidential computing, secure enclaves, homomorphic encryption, or similar privacy-preserving tech.
  • Rust proficiency (we use it for backend services and compute-heavy client-side modules).
  • Data-platform skills: operating Spark clusters, job schedulers, or orchestration frameworks (Airflow, Dagster, custom schedulers).

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • Join Decentriq's Engineering team as in individual contributor and earn growing responsibilities
  • Being able to create, shape, and benefit from a young company.
  • An amazing and fun team that is distributed all over Europe.
  • Competitive salary.
  • A lot of opportunities for self-development.
  • No need for a formal motivational letter. Just send your CV along with a few bullet points about why you're excited to work with us.
