Technical Lead / Technical Product Owner - Data Pipeline

Job Description

• As part of our team, you will own technical integrity and delivery outcomes from ingestion through processing, curation, and delivery, while defining explicit data contracts, quality criteria, reproducibility, and acceptance evidence.
• In the technical lead focus, you will take ownership of architecture, critical implementation, dataset versioning, and lineage. You demonstrate correctness, partial-failure recovery, and repeatable deployment under realistic workloads.
• Additionally, you will drive measured throughput, reliability, and cloud-cost performance. Together with the product owner, you establish workload budgets, diagnose regressions, and demonstrate the impact of optimizations through comparable runs.
• With a technical product owner focus, you will own requirements, backlog priorities, and release-readiness decisions. You resolve stakeholder trade-offs using data-quality evidence, operating constraints, and measured outcomes.
• You will ensure that access controls and agreed privacy and retention requirements are implemented and verified. You preserve evidence linking requirements, configurations, tests, and releases.
• Within our Agentic AI Software Factory, you will use coding agents for implementation, test generation, review preparation, and documentation. You validate their output through reproducible checks and human review while preserving traceability and applying controlled access to code and data.

Qualifications

• Education: completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Software Engineering or a related field
• Experience and Knowledge:
  • personal ownership of complex production data delivery with measured outcomes
  • technical lead focus: strong Python and SQL skills, including distributed processing, pipeline architecture and implementation, observability, and failure recovery
  • technical product owner focus: demonstrated ownership of data-product requirements, prioritization, acceptance criteria, and release decisions, with the technical depth to challenge architecture, quality, and operational constraints
  • strong understanding across both tracks of data contracts, lineage, reproducibility, access controls, cloud cost, and reliability
  • demonstrated depth in at least one track through personal decisions or implementations, including the ability to explain a difficult failure or trade-off; general coordination or backlog administration alone is insufficient
  • relevant experience with technologies such as Python, SQL, object storage, workflow orchestration, data catalogs, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD
• Personality and Working Practice: you bring technical rigor and a strong sense of ownership, making decisions explicit while challenging assumptions and balancing technical ambition with dependable data delivery
• Enthusiasm: for data infrastructure that makes robot learning experiments and customer deliveries reproducible
• Languages: very good spoken and written German and English
