Main information <ul style="border:0px solid;"><li style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Start: Immediately</li><li style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Location: Cologne, Berlin London or Remote</li><li style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Workload: Full-time</li><li style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Team: Teamwear/Tech</li></ul> Is this a match?The most important basics – so we both know if it could work. <ul><li>100% remote: This role is generally available 100% remote within the EU or UK. If you'd still love to work from one of our offices in Cologne, Berlin or London - you're more than welcome.</li><li>Experience: You bring 6-8 years of experience in software engineering and data engineering.</li><li>Languages: You speak English fluently - German is a big plus.</li><li>Startup spirit: You'd rather shape things than just tick boxes - even when that means figuring stuff out without a finished roadmap.</li></ul> What you'll do - your playing fieldThis is how you move our mission forward every day. <ul><li>Data Pipelines: You build and maintain data pipelines for automated data collection, structured so that new sources and markets can be added quickly.</li><li>Algorithms: You develop algorithms to extract relevant information from websites and images.</li><li>Data Quality: You ensure data quality through validation, confidence levels, monitoring, and clean handovers internally and to partners.</li><li>Data Infrastructure: You manage and further develop the data infrastructure of the Teamwear area.</li><li>Technical Point of Contact: You act as the second technical point of contact for the Teamwear area.</li></ul>In addition to your core responsibilities, you will also: <ul><li>Internal Tools: You develop internal tools that enable the team to collect and correct data themselves.</li><li>Analytics & Reports: You create analytics and reports for internal stakeholders and external partners.</li></ul> What you bring to the teamWe're not looking for a perfect CV. But you should recognise yourself in these points. <ul><li>Broad Technical Skillset: You move between data pipelines, backend and some frontend, and are not afraid of AI or image analysis.</li><li>Data Automation: You have experience with automated data pipelines, web scraping and image processing.</li><li>Databases & Data Modelling: You have expertise in databases and data modelling.</li><li>Independent Working: You work independently, even when there is no second engineer in the room and the context comes from business teams.</li><li>Fast Learner: You quickly get familiar with unfamiliar domains and ask the right questions along the way.</li><li>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.</li><li>Data Quality: You care about details when it comes to data quality and make uncertainties explicit.</li><li>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.</li><li>Engineering Practice: You write clean, maintainable code and follow good engineering practices such as testing and code reviews.</li><li>Tools: Python, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Grafana, Metabase, Pulumi, Kubernetes, AWS, LLM APIs</li></ul>Good to know We want you to know what this role really looks like from day one. <ul><li>If you are looking for clearly defined tickets, a large engineering team and a finished tech stack, this role is probably not for you.<ul><li>You will work largely as a team of two within Engineering. Most of your day-to-day work will be with business people, not engineers.</li><li>You have two connections: technically to Engineering and on the content side to the Teamwear team. This gives you a lot of freedom and means you need to set your own priorities.</li><li>A large part of the role is data collection and data quality, rather than greenfield ML. The exciting part is turning messy, real-world sources into reliable data.</li><li>The area is new. There is no finished setup for you to work with - you will help build it.</li><li>AI-first: We work AI-first, and AI tools are an active part of our workflow.</li></ul></li></ul> BonusNot a must - but this'll definitely earn you extra points. <ul><li>Experience with AWS, Kubernetes or IaC (Pulumi/Terraform). You can also learn this with us.</li><li>Experience presenting and preparing data for non-technical audiences.</li><li>A personal connection to amateur football.</li></ul> Benefits<span style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-family:Inter, '-apple-system', 'system-ui', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Open Sans', 'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji';font-size:14px;font-weight:400;text-transform:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);font-style:italic;">We want you to love joining us - and still love being part of the team a long time from now. <strong style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;font-weight:600;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-family:Inter, '-apple-system', 'system-ui', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Open Sans', 'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji';font-size:14px;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> <ul style="border:0px solid;color:rgb(31,31,31);font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-transform:none;font-family:Inter, '-apple-system', 'system-ui', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Open Sans', 'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji';background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><li style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;">Be part of it from the start – Shape how Prematch grows and transforms amateur football.</li><li style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;">Competitive salary – You’ll be paid fairly and transparently.</li><li style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;">Employee participation (VSOP) - directly benefit from the company’s success.</li><li style="border:0px solid;margin:0px;">Three cool offices in Cologne, Berlin, and London - true startup vibes to work and grow together.
