Posted on January 21, 2026 (about 4 hours ago)
Your mission
As a Senior Data Engineer, you will play a key role in building the data backbone of mama health’s real-world evidence platform. We use data mining and analytics to systematically map the end-to-end experiences of chronic patients so researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and governments can observe what actually happens along the patient care path.
In this role you will work hands-on with data from multiple sources and formats, including event data, operational systems, partner datasets, and unstructured inputs such as free text. You will turn these raw inputs into reliable, analytics-ready datasets that power patient journey analysis, product features, and reporting for pharmaceutical partners.
You will build and maintain data pipelines, define consistent data models, and enable fast and trustworthy access to data for analytics, product, and AI teams. You will implement monitoring and quality checks, improve pipeline reliability and performance, and help evolve the platform as product and data volume grow.
Working closely with cross-functional stakeholders (product, AI, data science, and healthcare experts), you will translate real-world needs into pragmatic data solutions while balancing speed with strong privacy, security, and correctness requirements in a sensitive healthcare context.
Your profile
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
- 3+ years (or equivalent) experience in a Data Engineering / Analytics Engineering / backend-leaning data role.
- Strong programming skills in Python and solid SQL skills (joins, window functions, performance basics).
- Solid understanding of ETL/ELT concepts and experience building or maintaining data pipelines (batch and/or streaming).
- Experience with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL/MySQL) and familiarity with analytical storage (e.g. BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift) is a plus.
- Familiarity with orchestration or transformation tooling (e.g. Airflow, dbt, Dagster, Prefect).
- Ability to clean, transform, and validate large datasets, and to implement practical data quality checks.
- Interest or experience in extracting structured signals from unstructured data (e.g. free text / conversations) to support analytics.
- Basic experience with monitoring/observability for pipelines (logs, alerts, SLAs) and willingness to own reliability.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (preferably AWS; GCP/Azure also fine) and containerization (e.g. Docker).
- Knowledge Graph experience is a plus.
- Good engineering hygiene: Git, code reviews, small frequent commits, tests, CI/CD (to the level appropriate for data systems).
- Strong communication skills and willingness to collaborate with product, analytics, and AI teams.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with iterative delivery.
- This role requires you to be based in Berlin.
