We’re looking for a skilled Product Software Engineer, preferably with a background or high interest in data engineering, to drive innovation in our Data Quality Testing team. You’ll work with a group of passionate engineers and collaborate closely with open-source users and customers to build and maintain cutting-edge features in the Soda Library, a foundational tool used across our platform.

Our Philosophy: Product Engineering

At Soda, we believe in empowering engineers to shape our product. We consider each of our software engineers as "product engineers" with responsibilities that extend beyond writing code:

• Serve the End-User: Build exceptional software that solves real-world problems for data teams and other end-users.
• User-Centric: With the assistance of your Product Manager stay connected with our users to understand their challenges, gather feedback, and iteratively improve our product based on their needs.
• Team-Led Roadmap: Collaboratively define your team’s roadmap based on the organization’s vision and strategy, combined with the deep domain knowledge you’ve gained from user interactions.
  
  
  

What You’ll Do:

• Shape Product Direction: Collaborate with users, customers, and your team’s product manager to ensure we build features that solve real-world data engineering problems.
• Technical Excellence: Design, implement, and maintain new features shipped directly to our customers in a fast evolving environment, focusing on quality whilst not being afraid to experiment.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Engage with your engineering manager and other technical experts in your team and organisation to ensure a robust and evolving product architecture.
  
  
  

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong Python & SQL Skills: You have in-depth experience building software solutions in Python 3 and working with SQL in production environments.
• Data Engineering Expertise: Practical understanding of data warehouses, data lakes, pipeline testing, data mesh, and related data engineering concepts.
• Experience with Data Warehouses: Familiarity with common data warehousing solutions is a big plus.
• Product Enthusiasm: You’re eager to join a product engineering environment to build tools that other data engineers will love using.
  
  
  

Our Team & Culture

You'll be part of a diverse, experienced team specializing in Backend (Java), Data Science, AI, and Frontend (Angular). This is a unique chance to collaborate, learn, and grow alongside experts from various fields. As a remote team spread across Europe, we prioritize responsibility, freedom, and flexibility. We believe that granting autonomy and decision-making power fosters a strong sense of ownership and empowerment. This approach enables everyone to achieve a healthy work-life balance, allowing you to thrive both professionally and personally.

Why This Role?

If you’re a Data Engineer with a software engineering mindset (or visa-versa), this is your chance to build the very tools that data teams rely on daily. This isn’t just another job, this is an opportunity to lead change and make an impact in a product-driven startup.
