Data Engineer (m/f/d) — Germany / Remote-first (DE & US)

Transparent Hiring is recruiting on behalf of our partner company, a fast-growing reinsurance company operating across Germany and the United States.

Corporate language

English. The environment is collaborative, hands-on, and driven by a strong “build and ship” mindset.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You will design and build solutions from scratch with limited resources by combining and adapting existing tools.

The role

We’re looking for a Data Engineer (m/f/d) to build and improve internal data solutions that make workflows and data more reliable and scalable. This is a hands-on role focused on data automation, pragmatic system design, and shipping working solutions.

What you’ll do

• Own the delivery of scalable internal data solutions (end-to-end, not just concepts)
• Translate business needs into clear technical designs and working systems
• Build and improve data pipelines, integrations, and automation
• Establish foundations for data reliability, reporting, and operational tooling
• Collaborate closely with stakeholders across Germany and the US

What you bring (must-have)

• 5+ years of proven experience building and delivering data solutions in production
• Experience in startup environments (fast-moving, hands-on, limited resources)
• Strong skills in Python and SQL
• Experience creating solutions from scratch with limited resources—combining existing tools/solutions and adapting them to specific needs
• Solid understanding of data architecture, system design, and integration patterns
• Fluent professional English (spoken + written)

Nice to have

• Experience in insurance, reinsurance, banking, or finance
• Familiarity with cloud platforms and modern data tooling

Location & working model

• Remote-first across Germany and the US (offices available).
• Relocation to Germany is supported by Transparent Hiring if the candidate is based outside Germany, and wants to relocate.

If this sounds like the kind of hands-on role you enjoy, apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile — we’d love to hear from you.
