Medior Data Engineer/ Scientist
Introduction
We're not looking for a rockstar architect or a senior consultant who has seen it all.
We're looking for a smart, curious Data Engineer with solid SQL and Python fundamentals, who enjoys solving real-world problems, learning new things, and building solutions where not every answer already exists.
You'll join a small local data team (2 people in Košice) within a large international organization. Working closely with a Data Analyst, you'll help prepare and structure data for analytics, reporting, and future AI initiatives while collaborating with global data and architecture teams.
This is an on-site role. The upside? You'll work directly in a modern industrial environment and see the real impact of your work — from manufacturing systems and SAP integrations to real-time IoT and sensor data powering day-to-day operations.
What you'll be working on
Building and maintaining data pipelines
Working with SQL, Python and databases
Integrating data from SAP, manufacturing systems, APIs and other business applications
Transforming and preparing data for analytics and Power BI reporting
Ensuring data quality and consistency across multiple systems
Supporting AI and Machine Learning use cases by making data accessible and usable
Collaborating with local and global teams on data architecture and data platform initiatives
What we're looking for
2+ years of experience in Data Engineering or a similar role
Good SQL and Python skills
Experience working with data pipelines, ETL processes or integrations
Analytical mindset and problem-solving skills
Independence, flexibility and ownership mentality
Strong communication skills
Willingness to learn and adapt in a fast-changing environment
Nice to have:
Power BI
Snowflake
Cloud technologies
AI / ML fundamentals
API, CDC or streaming technologies
Manufacturing, industrial or IoT experience
Why this opportunity?
Modern factory environment generating large volumes of real-time data
Greenfield challenges alongside established corporate platforms
Access to modern tools including GitHub Copilot and AI-powered technologies
Exposure to SAP, manufacturing systems, IoT and advanced analytics
Direct cooperation with global data architects and specialists
Plenty of room to learn, grow and influence how data is used across the organization
