Job description
About the role
At HelloFresh, data is at the heart of everything we do — from the moment a customer places an order to the way we forecast demand, optimize our supply chain, and personalize experiences for millions of people. Making that data fast, reliable, and available is what our Data Platform makes possible.
We are looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to join our Data Platform team of 7 — the squad responsible for the infrastructure that powers our entire data ecosystem. You'll own the compute, orchestration, and storage systems that data and analytics teams depend on every day, and lead the evolution of our platform toward a more governed, scalable, and cloud-native architecture.
This is a hands-on engineering role at the core of our platform. You'll drive our migration to Databricks Unity Catalog and Terraform-managed workspaces, sunset legacy systems, and help define the patterns that make it easy for teams across the company to build and run data workloads reliably and cost-efficiently.
What you'll do
Lead our Databricks Unity Catalog migration. Own the transition from legacy Databricks workspaces to Unity Catalog and Terraformenabled workspaces — ensuring governance, lineage, and access control are built into the platform from the start.
