[Hiring] Senior Data Engineer @PeakData

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to own data pipeline work end-to-end — from building and maintaining production pipelines to integrating new data sources and contributing to backend services that power the platform.

• Develop new pipeline components as we revamp and upgrade our data flows.
• Clean up and sunset legacy services.
• Maintain and improve infrastructure.
• Integrate open data sources.
• Make new models or data packages production-ready.

This is a hands-on engineering role. Not research, not analytics.

Qualifications

• 4+ years in data engineering or backend engineering.
• Strong Python — production-grade, not just scripts or notebooks.
• SQL — comfortable with complex queries, schema design, performance considerations.
• Docker — you've shipped containerized services, not just run them locally.

Requirements

• pandas / data wrangling experience (nice to have).
• AWS (any depth — Lambda, S3, ECS) (nice to have).
• Terraform or CDK (nice to have).
• Experience with orchestration tools (Argo, Airflow, Prefect, or similar) (nice to have).
• Prior work in regulated or data-sensitive environments (life sciences, healthcare, finance) (nice to have).

• You take ownership of what you ship and monitor it.
• You're used to working from a data spec that's 80% complete — you can fill the gaps yourself and flag the ones you can't.
• You can work across the DS ↔ backend boundary without needing a translator.

Benefits

• Work that matters – build solutions that support faster and more effective healthcare outcomes.
• Hands-on AI work – practical experience with LLMs and modern AI applications used in real business scenarios.
• Flexible B2B compensation – €30–40/h depending on seniority (sole proprietorship only). Net invoicing, VAT settled on the Swiss side. Payments in EUR.
• Remote-first setup – work from anywhere in Poland.
• Long-term projects with global pharma partners – stability, clear goals and meaningful work.
• Growth opportunities – develop your skills, explore new tools and deepen your expertise in healthcare and data.
