Senior Software Engineer (Data & Platform)

Berlin, Germany (hybrid)

Permanent employment (Unbefristeter Arbeitsvertrag)

The Role:

Our growing team is looking for a senior software engineer to lead the evolution of the infrastructure that turns our science into trustworthy climate results. In this role, you'll own the platform that takes our data, models and estimation methods from R&D to auditable client deliverables, and you'll be a trusted reviewer and guide across software and data engineering. As a small team, you'll also shape how we build our geospatial pipelines and internal analytics.

We're looking for someone who has designed and run data-intensive systems in production, makes sound architectural calls, and raises the bar for the engineers around them. You'll work closely with fellow software and data engineers, data scientists and solutions engineers, turning research code into robust, reproducible infrastructure. You will join a cross-functional, mission-driven team dedicated to bringing transparency and integrity to climate action.

Impact you’ll own:

Shorten the path from experiment to production: own how models and estimation features move from research into reproducible, auditable client deliverables, with data, models and environments versioned end to end.
Own our developer platform and engineering standards: environments, containers, project templates, CI/CD and pipeline orchestration across a multi-repo Python stack.
Own our GCP infrastructure: architecture, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, cost and access management, and its evolution as the company grows.
Shape our geospatial workflows: how we store and process vector and high-resolution raster data at scale, and how the databases behind our models and deliverables evolve as we scale.
Be the key reviewer for core and pipeline infra: write design docs for your own areas and review those of others, keeping our architecture coherent as the team grows.
