[Hiring] Senior Data Engineer @Bloomreach

Role Description

Become a Senior Data Engineer for Bloomreach! Join our newly formed Datacraft team — the team building the next-generation data platform that powers internal Databricks, the Loomi Marketing Agent with Data Insights capability for Bloomreach Marketing platform. Your engineering work will directly impact how hundreds of enterprise customers access, understand, and activate their Bloomreach data internally and with data share in Databricks and BigQuery.

What challenge awaits you?

• Join the Datacraft team as one of its founding engineers.
• Datacraft is a new team in the Engagement pillar, established to tackle three interconnected domains:
  • Data Warehouses (~60% of team domain) — making Bloomreach data first-class in customer Databricks.
  • Dashboards & Analytics Stack (~20%) — moving Marketing reporting and dashboarding from the proprietary stack onto Databrick.
• Datacraft is an AI-first team. We believe code is a commodity and expect every engineer to fluently use coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini CLI) as a core part of their daily workflow.
• As a P3 (Senior) engineer at Bloomreach you are an independent professional — expert in at least one component, able to decompose objectives into tasks, and lead small projects end-to-end with minimal day-to-day guidance.

Your job will be to:

• Build the Databricks data platform:
  • Design data pipelines (Kafka → Flink -> GCS Iceberg → Databricks) following medallion architecture using Databricks notebooks and Spark Declarative Pipeline.
  • Own data models and ETL mutations for ID resolution and consent semantics.
  • Maintain orchestration (Airflow / Cloud Composer) and monitoring.
• Co-build dashboards & analytics stack:
  • Design canonical metrics and models on Databricks.
  • Support semantic layers and BI tools (Cube, Looker Studio).
  • Ensure tight Marketing Agent (Insights skill) integration.

Qualifications

• Solid data engineering background with strong SQL and data modeling skills (star/snowflake schemas, slowly changing dimensions, partitioning/clustering, etc.).
• Hands-on experience building production-grade data pipelines on Databricks and GCP, ideally involving Flink, Iceberg, Spark on DataProc.
• Experience with orchestration and workflow tools — specifically Airflow / Cloud Composer.
• Familiarity with open table formats (Iceberg preferred, Delta Lake / Hudi acceptable).
• Strong programming skills in Python (preferred); Scala/Java/Go also relevant.
• Good understanding of data quality, lineage, and observability (monitoring SLAs/SLOs, detecting missing/late loads, backfilling strategies).
• Ability to work across product and engineering teams, turning fuzzy problem statements into incremental, shippable slices.
• Strongly preferred background in marketing analytics, CDPs, or BI/semantic layers (Looker, dbt, Cube).
• Experience with Snowflake or Databricks or BigQuery.
• Experience with spec driven development, knowledge graphs, agentic harnesses or AI-powered analytics.

Requirements

• Ownership & accountability.
• Sharp and Product thinking.
• Clear communication.
• Bias for reliability.
• Continuous improvement mindset.
• Comfortable remote-first in Central Europe.

Benefits

• A great deal of freedom and trust.
• Defined values and key behaviors embedded in processes.
• Flexible working hours to accommodate your working style.
• Virtual-first work environment with several Bloomreach Hubs available across three continents.
• Company events to experience the global spirit of the company.
• Encouragement and support for volunteering activities — 5 paid days off to volunteer.
• People Development Program with personal development workshops.
• Access to a communication coach for work-related challenges.
• $1,500 professional education budget annually.
• Employee Assistance Program with counselors for non-work-related challenges.

• ‘DisConnect’ days for additional time off each quarter.
• Facilitation of sports, yoga, and meditation opportunities.
• Extended parental leave up to 26 calendar weeks for Primary Caregivers.
