Job description

Most wanted: Technical data enthusiast with solid data preparation and data pipeline engineering skills.

Onedot was founded in 2014 to make unstructured and messy product data easily consumable by applying self-developed artificial intelligence. Onedot is a Swiss SaaS startup in the scaling stage offering commerce and industry the first intelligent platform to source, onboard, and distribute product data. Public companies with a global presence and rich history as well as some of the fastest-growing e-commerce startups are part of our expanding international customer base.

At Onedot, you will embed yourself into a demanding but exceptionally inspiring distributed environment with lots of room for personal growth. We are looking for colleagues who want to have a meaningful impact and shape our trendsetting product and company.

Talented, curious and committed human beings from all over the globe are looking forward to your ideas and taking you on board.

As a Data Engineer at Onedot, you are responsible for designing, building and maintaining production-grade data pipelines crunching up to 100M+ product data records per month and customer. Our proprietary technology built with Scala on top of Apache Spark uses a custom DSL to model data flows efficiently. Designing and modelling complex data transformation processes and implementing them in a scalable and efficient way is what motivates you. You are familiar with the best practices of professional software engineering and can apply them in production pipelines. Your eye for the details is your strength and you know how the inner workings of Spark and database technology, in general, affect the performance and throughput of data pipelines. You like hands-on working with data and are curious to learn about groundbreaking new approaches to automated data preparation at Onedot. As a person, you are proud of your sharp analytical skills, which help you while troubleshooting large-scale processing jobs on our clusters and make you succeed in data profiling, modelling data flows, optimising data transformation steps, and tuning performance.

Onedot designs and engineers proprietary machine learning algorithms, probabilistic/statistical methods and advanced text understanding because existing approaches do not go far enough. Our technology achieves human-like performance and has already been trained with over 100 million different products.

Onedot is a startup backed by well-known international venture capital firms and world-class entrepreneurs.
