Staff Data Platform Engineer

We're Celonis, the global leader in Process Mining technology and one of the world's fastest-growing SaaS firms. We believe there is a massive opportunity to unlock productivity by placing data and intelligence at the core of business processes - and for that, we need you to join us.

The Team:

The Role:

You’ll be part of a distributed team across Europe and the US and responsible for the architecture of our growing data services infrastructure, which powers our cloud products. You will collaborate closely with the development teams as well as our cloud platform teams to define and drive the future architecture. As we are growing rapidly, this offers unique challenges and a great experience for even the most seasoned engineers.

The work you’ll do:

• Design and manage the PostgreSQL infrastructure for a large scale cloud environment.
• Build out our observability capabilities to provide DevOps teams insight into their consumption details. 
• Collaborate with development teams and stakeholders.
• Drive architectural initiatives that evolve our environments.
• Provide advice and guidance to data service consumer teams and junior engineers. 

The qualifications you need:

• Bachelor's degree in information systems, information technology, computer science, or similar.
• 6+ years in managing RDBMS databases at a large scale.
• 2+ years experience with PostgreSQL.
• In-depth knowledge of Structured Query Language (SQL) and SQL statement performance tuning.
• Sound knowledge of best practices in database administration and modeling and data security.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Exceptional problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills.

Visa sponsorship is not offered for this role.
