Job Description

The Finance Data Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining data pipelines, interfaces, and technical integration components required to support finance reporting and data products.

• Support SAP and non-SAP integration within scope and keep processing jobs stable and performant.
• Embed data quality checks and control points into the processing flow.
• Investigate and resolve data processing errors, technical failures, and interface issues.
• Support deployment, testing, defect fixing, and post-go-live stabilisation.
• Document implementations and mappings; contribute to engineering standards and automation opportunities.
• Actively apply AI and automation to improve the platform — accelerating pipeline development, simplifying data flows, and raising code quality and maintainability.

What you bring

• University degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, Business Informatics, or a related discipline.
• Solid professional experience in data engineering, ETL development, data integration, or related technical implementation roles.
• Strong SQL and solid understanding of relational structures, transformations, and performance.
• Hands-on pipeline / interface build experience with ETL concepts (mappings, scheduling, error handling, deployment).
• Systematic problem-solving and clear technical documentation.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
• Experience with Data Modelling, Data Integration, Data Management, Data Governance and Data Reporting.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to cloud data platforms and modern data engineering patterns.
• Finance reporting cycle awareness (month-end / planning sensitivities).
• Experience in Python.
• Experience in financial services / asset management.
• German is a plus.

What we offer
