Hi! We are Billie, the leading provider of “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) payment methods for businesses, offering B2B companies innovative digital payment services and modern checkout solutions. We are here to transform and upgrade the operating system of B2B Payments. Thus, we enable businesses to pay and get paid on their own terms, having the same frictionless and flexible experience as consumers are used to nowadays. To do so, our solutions are based on proprietary, machine-learning-supported risk models, fully digitized processes and a highly scalable tech platform. This makes us a deep-tech company building financial products, not the other way around. We love building simple and elegant solutions and we strive for automation and scalability. Our vision to create new freedom through innovation has attracted exciting strategic partners and highly experienced investors, making us join forces with Klarna and securing an outstanding $100 million Series C funding round nearly quadrupling our previous valuation. Our investors include VCs such as Dawn Capital, Creandum, Picus and SpeedInvest.
Join us to create the future of B2B payments!
ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are looking for a Data Engineer to join our Data Platform Engineering team at Billie. In this team, you will help design and shape the data infrastructure and processes that interconnect our systems.
This will help us to spot fraudsters in real-time while the order is still being placed; it will allow our engineering teams to work independently while still maintaining reliable data interfaces across product domains; it will allow us to operate the data warehouse that enables data scientists and product analysts.
If we do our job well, everyone at Billie is able to use data with confidence.
As part of this role, you will:
- Design and develop real-time event pipelines, batch processing capabilities or a low-latency data store that serves features to ML models running in production.
- Work with software engineers, data scientists and business domain experts to continuously balance flexibility and reliability. As well as establishing best practices, making it easy for teams to pick the right tool for the right task.
- Make sure we are ready to scale – the volume of data, but also the number of contributors, releases, consumers and overall size of our systems architecture.
- Ensure that all data systems are operating as expected through test coverage, QA processes and monitoring, quickly detecting system failures, data outages or sudden anomalies.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
- You understand that data infrastructure can be a huge enabler for a business – but can just as well become a blocker. You’re excited by the opportunity to apply your experience to a complex, quickly growing business.
- You understand microservice architectures and the challenges they can provide for the data domain.
- You have experience in processing batch and real-time data sets using cloud technologies, ideally using AWS. You have worked with columnar databases (e.g. Snowflake) and event-driven technologies (e.g Kafka, Segment).
- You want to apply principles of modern software development and systems architecture to the data domain. You care about reliability and data quality, and get pleasure out of a well-running system. You have experience with scheduling tools (e.g. Airflow), container technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), CI pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and delivering Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform)
- For you, working with humans is just as important as operating machines. You enjoy collaborating with others and are willing to question use-cases and hold people accountable to agreed standards and commitments. You have the interest to learn new technologies and methods, but also find joy in sharing your knowledge and experience with others.
WHAT WE OFFER YOU:
- Flexible work hours and trust in your ability to deliver, empowering you to take control of your work-life balance.
- Up to 6 weeks per year of “Workation”.
- One of the best Virtual Shares Incentive Programs in the market, so that everyone at Billie is invested in our success.
- Freedom to balance working from home and the office according to you and your team’s needs. No restrictions, only guidelines and a flexibility-first approach.
- Our “Catch a Ride with Billie” program gives you a big discount on the Monthly Public Transport pass in Berlin.
- A yearly development budget to broaden your skill set and horizons. We also offer free German group classes with your colleagues.
- An English-speaking, multicultural team with more than 35 nationalities from all continents represented in our staff.
- A one-time relocation bonus if you join us in Berlin.
- A great office space near Checkpoint Charlie with free gym access, healthy snacks and cereals, fruit, coffee, soda, and beer.
