"About The Role"
About This Role
As a Data Engineer at Bitpanda, you'll be at the intersection of distributed systems thinking and modern data engineering, building pipelines that support everything from crypto trading analytics to compliance reporting. This is a rare opportunity to shape core data architecture for one of Europe's leading trade-everything platforms, where your work directly influences how decentralized assets and traditional markets converge for everyday investors.
What You'll Be Doing
Architect and operate a scalable data platform that empowers teams across the business while maintaining uncompromising performance and reliability
Evolve our core data model to support advanced analytics, reporting, and governance across crypto, DeFi-adjacent products, and traditional asset classes
Build and maintain observable, production-grade data pipelines using modern engineering practices — testing, CI/CD, version control, and code review
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, risk/compliance, finance, and engineering teams to translate business objectives into practical data solutions
Define data quality, lineage, and governance standards that keep our ecosystem trustworthy and audit-ready
Help shape team strategy and roadmap, aligning technical execution with broader company goals in the fast-moving crypto and web3 space
What We're Looking For
Proven experience building production dataflows with Python and SQL, orchestrated via Airflow or Dagster, and modeled with dbt
Hands-on comfort working in AWS (GCP/Azure a plus), provisioning infrastructure as code with Terraform or similar tools
Practical experience operating Snowflake — including performance tuning, cost optimization, and permissions architecture
Solid grasp of data governance fundamentals: validation, documentation, lineage, and privacy best practices
A curious, growth-oriented mindset eager to learn in a fast-paced blockchain and crypto environment
Strong communication skills to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders
Bonus Points
Experience with Kubernetes, Kafka, or event-streaming platforms like RudderStack/Segment
Familiarity with data catalog tools (DataHub) or open table formats like Apache Iceberg
Exposure to A/B testing frameworks and feature flag systems
Interest or background in decentralized finance, smart contracts, or distributed ledger technology
Why Join Us
Hybrid flexibility — work onsite or remotely, plus 25 additional days/year to work from anywhere
Be part of a mission-driven team reshaping how people access crypto, DeFi, and traditional investing
Collaborate with passionate, diverse experts operating at the cutting edge of blockchain-powered finance
Continuous learning opportunities in one of Europe's fastest-growing web3-adjacent fintech companies
