Senior Data Engineer

Berlin OR Remote Germany

About us

At Ada, we envision a world where everyone gets the healthcare they need. Yet, millions remain undiagnosed and untreated due to the complexity of identifying rare and underrecognized conditions, even when effective treatments exist

We’re changing that. Powered by leading AI and built by a team of physicians and clinical scientists, Ada helps people get answers faster, identifying those at risk and guiding them to the right care. Every successful journey makes us smarter and able to help more people.

If you’re passionate about transforming healthcare and ensuring no one goes undiagnosed, join us and be part of what’s next.

About the role

Ada is in a period of exciting transformation and we are looking for a Senior Data Engineer (f/m/x) to join our Data Platform team in support of AI technology, tool adoption and making a direct impact in building scalable data solutions. 

Our Data Engineers at Ada are strong technical individuals who enjoy being part of a small team where one can own the whole platform and software development throughout Ada’s data ecosystem, developing solutions and data frameworks with the ultimate goal of analytics-/insights-empowerment of the company and our healthcare partners.

We are open to applicants based anywhere in Germany (this is remote position) with a preference for those located in Berlin for ease of accessing our office when necessary.


What you’ll do

  • Architect and maintain ETL / data pipeline using workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Python, SQL) and data ingestion and delivery services.
  • Build scalable, robust and fault-tolerant data architecture and solutions.
  • Design data models and warehouse structures optimal for analytics.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to lead requirements engineering and solutions development for data needs.
  • Continuous performance and cost optimization of data pipelines, databases and services in modern, cloud-native, data platforms.
  • Implement and manage data management tools (e.g. data design, catalog, quality framework).
  • Embody thought leadership for data through evaluation of new data technologies and tools to enhance and operationalize data capabilities.
  • Implement and demonstrate monitoring and observability systems and practices for high availability, health and performance of data services and databases.
  • Collaborate in a small team of a Data Engineer and a Data Analyst to promote best practice in coding standards, software development approaches, and data frameworks.

What you’ll bring

  • 8+ years of experience in data engineering, incl. ETL, data modeling, data streaming, and the relevant technology stack, incl. workflow orchestration tool (eg. Airflow) and relevant language(s) (e.g. Python, SQL, Java).
  • Extensive hands-on experience in building and managing end-to-end data solutions in cloud-native data platforms (strong preference for GCP).
  • Experience with application of AI in data engineering tooling and processes.
  • Experience with DevOps best practice and tools - containerization, container orchestration, version control, CI/CD, monitoring (eg. Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins).
  • Excellent communication skills and collaborative energy, engaging with Data Engineers, Data Analysts, and other various data user stakeholders.
  • Nice to have: experience with infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform) and a background within the digital health space.  Experience with data regulatory frameworks (eg. GDPR, HIPAA) would also be ideal, but is not essential.

What’s awaiting you at Ada

  • Flexible working hours to maintain a healthy work/life balance
  • 30 days holiday, plus public holidays to unplug, rest and recharge
  • Support to set up your home office space, with the option for a co-working space subscription for our remote employees
  • Parental benefits 
  • Employee Assistance Programs to help you look after your emotional wellbeing and deal with life’s challenges
  • Stay active and healthy with a discounted ClassPass or Urban Sports Club membership
  • Online Academy for learning and development opportunities
  • Bike leasing scheme

We are pleased that you are interested in us and that you wish to apply or have already applied for a position in our company. In the following, we would like to provide you with information about the processing of your personal data in connection with your application. We process the data necessary for the online application process (name, email address and location) as well as data that you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or any other vacancies within our company) and to conduct the application process.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application process is primarily Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as amended on May 25 2018. It allows the processing of data required in connection with hiring decisions. Should the data be required for the assertion of legal rights after completion of the application process, data may be processed on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In such cases, our interest is in asserting or defending claims.

In the event of a rejection, candidate data will be deleted after 6 months. If you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will add your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after 2 years. If you are offered a job in the context of the application process, the data from data system will be transferred to our HR information system.

We use a specialist software provider for the application process. It acts as a service provider for us and, in the context of system maintenance and support, may also become aware of your personal data. We have concluded what’s known as a data processing agreement with this provider, which ensures that data processing is carried out in a permissible manner.

Upon receipt of your application, your application data will be reviewed by the HR department. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the department heads for the respective vacancies. The next steps to be taken are then agreed upon. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who need this for the regular conduct of our application process.

You have the possibility to object to the processing of your data at any time. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the previous description of the functions. In the event that your objection is justified, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or point out to you the compelling legitimate reasons on the basis of which we will continue processing.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
