Software Engineer - Data (All Genders)

Hey!Imagine amateur football finally had the platform it deserves.Every weekend, millions of people write their own personal football stories – on pitches, in clubs and on the sidelines. We believe this passion deserves a digital home too.That's exactly what we're building every single day. tl;drWe’re looking for someone to help make our Teamwear business scalable beyond its current scope - building the data infrastructure, pipelines and tools that power the next stage of Teamwear. Main information • Start: Immediately • Location: Cologne, Berlin London or Remote • Workload: Full-time • Team: Teamwear/Tech Is this a match?The most important basics – so we both know if it could work. • 100% remote: This role is generally available 100% remote within the EU or UK. If you'd still love to work from one of our offices in Cologne, Berlin or London - you're more than welcome. • Experience: You bring 6-8 years of experience in software engineering and data engineering. • Languages: You speak English fluently - German is a big plus. • Startup spirit: You'd rather shape things than just tick boxes - even when that means figuring stuff out without a finished roadmap. What you'll do - your playing fieldThis is how you move our mission forward every day. • Data Pipelines: You build and maintain data pipelines for automated data collection, structured so that new sources and markets can be added quickly. • Algorithms: You develop algorithms to extract relevant information from websites and images. • Data Quality: You ensure data quality through validation, confidence levels, monitoring, and clean handovers internally and to partners. • Data Infrastructure: You manage and further develop the data infrastructure of the Teamwear area. • Technical Point of Contact: You act as the second technical point of contact for the Teamwear area. In addition to your core responsibilities, you will also: • Internal Tools: You develop internal tools that enable the team to collect and correct data themselves. • Analytics & Reports: You create analytics and reports for internal stakeholders and external partners. What you bring to the teamWe're not looking for a perfect CV. But you should recognise yourself in these points. • Broad Technical Skillset: You move between data pipelines, backend and some frontend, and are not afraid of AI or image analysis. • Data Automation: You have experience with automated data pipelines, web scraping and image processing. • Databases & Data Modelling: You have expertise in databases and data modelling. • Independent Working: You work independently, even when there is no second engineer in the room and the context comes from business teams. • Fast Learner: You quickly get familiar with unfamiliar domains and ask the right questions along the way. • 80/20 Mindset: You know when fast and good enough is the right approach and when the data needs to be 100% accurate because a decision is based on it. • Data Quality: You care about details when it comes to data quality and make uncertainties explicit. • Data-Driven Thinking: You don't stop at analysing the data. You identify what is in the data, what it means and what we should look at next - even if nobody asked. • Engineering Practice: You write clean, maintainable code and follow good engineering practices such as testing and code reviews. • Tools: Python, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Grafana, Metabase, Pulumi, Kubernetes, AWS, LLM APIs Good to know We want you to know what this role really looks like from day one. • If you are looking for clearly defined tickets, a large engineering team and a finished tech stack, this role is probably not for you.• You will work largely as a team of two within Engineering. Most of your day-to-day work will be with business people, not engineers. • You have two connections: technically to Engineering and on the content side to the Teamwear team. This gives you a lot of freedom and means you need to set your own priorities. • A large part of the role is data collection and data quality, rather than greenfield ML. The exciting part is turning messy, real-world sources into reliable data. • The area is new. There is no finished setup for you to work with - you will help build it. • AI-first: We work AI-first, and AI tools are an active part of our workflow. BonusNot a must - but this'll definitely earn you extra points. • Experience with AWS, Kubernetes or IaC (Pulumi/Terraform). You can also learn this with us. • Experience presenting and preparing data for non-technical audiences. • A personal connection to amateur football. The Prematch SetupWe want you to love joining us - and still love being part of the team a long time from now. • Be part of it from the start – Shape how Prematch grows and transforms amateur football. • Competitive salary – You’ll be paid fairly and transparently. • Employee participation (VSOP) - directly benefit from the company’s success. • Three cool offices in Cologne, Berlin, and London - true startup vibes to work and grow together. Want to visit another office? We support that too! • Remote work - depending on your distance to the office, you work 1–3 days a week onsite and the rest flexibly remote - whatever suits you best. Tech & Product roles sometimes offer 100% remote. • Remote, even from afar - Whether it’s a week of sunshine abroad or a few days with family - we allow flexible work from outside your usual location. • Team spirit - whether in the office or at home, we use cool tools and a virtual office to keep the team tightly connected. • Modern IT equipment - We provide the tools and devices you need to be productive. • 27 vacation days per year - For your rest and to recharge.
