Software Engineer - Data;

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.

Is this a match?

The most important basics – so we both know if it could work.

• Teamwear is one of our three company headlines, but technically it currently depends on one person.
• As long as this remains the case, the area cannot scale beyond its current scope.
• Your goal:
  To enable Teamwear to scale beyond its current scope.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!
