Software Engineer - Data (All Genders)

Imagine amateur football finally had the platform it deserves.

Every weekend, millions of people write their own personal football stories – on pitches, in clubs and on the sidelines. We believe this passion deserves a digital home too.

That's exactly what we're building every single day.

• You build and maintain data pipelines for automated data collection, structured so that new sources and markets can be added quickly.
• You develop algorithms to extract relevant information from websites and images.
• You ensure data quality through validation, confidence levels, monitoring, and clean handovers internally and to partners.
• You manage and further develop the data infrastructure of the Teamwear area.
• You act as the second technical point of contact for the Teamwear area.
• You develop internal tools that enable the team to collect and correct data themselves.
• You create analytics and reports for internal stakeholders and external partners.

• You bring 6-8 years of experience in software engineering and data engineering.
• You speak English fluently - German is a big plus.
• You'd rather shape things than just tick boxes - even when that means figuring stuff out without a finished roadmap.
• Broad Technical Skillset: You move between data pipelines, backend and some frontend, and are not afraid of AI or image analysis.
• Data Automation: You have experience with automated data pipelines, web scraping and image processing.
• Databases & Data Modelling: You have expertise in databases and data modelling.
• Independent Working: You work independently, even when there is no second engineer in the room and the context comes from business teams.
• Fast Learner: You quickly get familiar with unfamiliar domains and ask the right questions along the way.
• 80/20 Mindset: You know when fast and good enough is the right approach and when the data needs to be 100% accurate because a decision is based on it.
• Data Quality: You care about details when it comes to data quality and make uncertainties explicit.
• Data-Driven Thinking: You don't stop at analysing the data. You identify what is in the data, what it means and what we should look at next - even if nobody asked.
• Engineering Practice: You write clean, maintainable code and follow good engineering practices such as testing and code reviews.
• Tools: Python, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Grafana, Metabase, Pulumi, Kubernetes, AWS, LLM APIs

• Remote work - depending on your distance to the office, you work 1–3 days a week onsite and the rest flexibly remote - whatever suits you best. Tech & Product roles sometimes offer 100% remote.
