Job Description

At Trackunit, we collect data from machines and job sites across the globe, and we are building the products that make that data useful. As a Data Engineer in our Data Products team, you will design and operate the pipelines and datasets that sit behind our analytics and future machine learning products. You will work closely with data science and alongside experienced engineers in our Data Foundation team. It is hands-on work with real ownership, in a small team where what you build actually ships.

What’s in it for you?

Take ownership in a small team. Shape the data engineering work in our Data Products team, with a direct influence on how we build reliable, reusable products for customers.

Build the data behind new insights. Develop pipelines and datasets that support benchmarking, analytics, and future machine learning products as we move from individual customer solutions to products serving many customers.

Work with varied, challenging data. Combine equipment and sensor data with external sources, including satellite and weather data, and make it ready for analysis and modelling.

Work closely with data science. Partner with our data scientist on customer needs, solution design, and data preparation, with opportunities to grow into feature engineering, model deployment, and MLOps.

Learn through collaboration. Work alongside experienced engineers in our Data Foundation team, supported by an international culture of knowledge sharing, feedback, and professional development.

Who are you ideally?

• You have experience designing, building, and operating production data pipelines, with strong SQL, Python, and data modelling skills.
• Databricks expertise is a significant advantage. You ideally bring strong hands-on experience building and operating pipelines with Spark and Delta Lake, managing data quality, and preparing datasets for analytics and machine learning.
• You treat data quality as part of the product. You build automated validation, monitoring, and alerting, and can investigate problems from a customer-facing result back to the source.
• You have worked with cloud data platforms and tools for orchestrating and transforming data, and can make practical choices about reliability, performance, and cost.
• You understand how to keep pipelines maintainable as data sources change, using testing, CI/CD, clear documentation, and thoughtful handling of schemas and dependencies.
• You have worked alongside data scientists, or bring a strong understanding of their needs, including preparing reliable datasets for exploration, feature engineering, and model training.
• You enjoy contributing to requirements and solution design, translating customer needs into practical data solutions, and taking ownership while collaborating across teams.
• Experience integrating external APIs and feeds, working with geospatial or time series data, or processing large datasets efficiently would be a plus. Interest in model deployment and MLOps is welcome. You don’t need to tick every box. If data engineering is your core strength and you’re curious about data science and the products it enables, we’d like to hear from you.

Our hiring process

Don't waste your time on writing the best possible cover letter for the job. We want you to create an impact that matters, and that's not in the cover letter.

• Virtual meet and greet. Meet with the Talent Acquisition Partner.
• A deeper conversation: We'll go into your experience and how you work, and you'll get a clearer picture of the team, the challenges, and what the role actually looks like day to day.
• Assignment-specific interview. We want you to get an insight into some of the concrete work tasks or projects related to the role. You will be given a case to prepare prior to the interview, and at the interview, you will present the case to relevant colleagues from across Trackunit, who you’ll also work closely with in the job.
• If needed, throughout the process we will obtain references from former employers and do background checks for level specific, if you have not provided these yourself.
• Offer presentation and walk-through. We’re lucky to have you!
