Job Description

Tradeshift is a unicorn in the fintech industry. We are connecting companies of all sizes and industries and providing them with the platform and network needed to create value from old processes like procurement, invoicing, payments, and workflow. We recognize that business is both messy and social, which has driven the development of Tradeshift, a platform for all your business interactions. We work hard and our teams have great freedom and responsibility to choose the best solutions, technologies and approaches to evolve the product to the next level.

We believe that being a global, multicultural company is a tremendous strength and we have people working from 18 different countries with hubs in Bucharest, Copenhagen, Kuala Lumpur, and San Francisco. We believe that if we truly focus on how to work distributed and collaborate across locations and (home) offices, we will not only enjoy work more but also build better products for our customers, and ultimately be a better company.

The Team

In the Tradeshift Data Infrastructure team we provide solutions and services to enable, scale and automate all five key products in the Tradeshift suite, using the world’s largest business network and a distributed, microservice based, cloud native system.

Our team is primarily located in Copenhagen and Bucharest. We build the data pipelines that drive both internal and customer-facing analyses, reports, and artificial intelligence. We build and maintain several backend microservices and a small set of front end applications. Our insights and algorithms feed directly into products; they also act as the bridge between our products. For instance, machine learning models identify and correct inconsistencies found in data that we are receiving from customers. Robust, fast, and accurate data pipelines are the backbone of this critical work.

The Role

Tradeshift is looking for a superstar to join Tradeshift as a Senior Data Engineer. This means being confident in creating and owning end-to-end data pipelines and ensuring availability; collaborating with experienced colleagues, mentoring less experienced ones, and helping us find our technical direction; representing Tradeshift in relevant open source communities; and primarily getting your hands dirty with code contributions for the strong team you will be part of, as well as for company wide projects.

Learn and share your knowledge and expertise widely in Tradeshift, inspiring and mentoring colleagues in Engineering while always improving your expertise.
Represent Tradeshift with customers and our suppliers, and potentially with relevant open source communities.
