Data Engineer

You're a Software Engineer with 2 to 5 years of experience who builds scalable systems, thinks in product outcomes, and uses AI models and coding agents effectively as part of daily engineering work.

The Engineering team builds and runs the TypeScript and Python systems behind Qogita's Wholesale Operating System, working closely with Product, Design, Science, and Platform.

• Build and extend the Python and Django services that power Qogita's Wholesale Operating System, delivering new features, APIs, and services end to end.
• Develop frontend changes, extending our TypeScript and Next.js portals, when a feature needs them, so you can ship a complete feature without handoffs.
• Own the design of scoped services and features, documenting the trade-offs and presenting them to the team for discussion and review.
• Improve system performance, observability, and reliability, using metrics, and tracing to find and fix bottlenecks.
• Drive product decisions with Product partners by challenging requirements, proposing alternatives, and shipping the smallest change that delivers the outcome.
• Execute day-to-day development with AI models and coding agents, building the specifications, tests, and guardrails that let agents ship correct, secure, and maintainable changes without line-by-line review.

• 2 to 5 years of experience designing scalable, high-performance production systems, including distributed and event-driven architectures, and the judgment to explain the trade-offs.
• Fullstack working ability: able to ship frontend and backend changes when a feature needs them.
• A product mindset: able to turn an ambiguous business problem into a scoped solution and push back on work that does not move the outcome.
• Daily, hands-on use of AI models, coding agents, and the tooling around them, with the discipline to review and test what they produce.
• Engineering fundamentals that do not depend on one language: system design, data modeling, testing, and clean, maintainable code.
• Able to give and receive direct feedback and align cross-functional partners on a shared goal without formal authority.

• Base salary: €60,000 – €75,000 
• 26 days of annual leave, plus 4 additional personal days
• Company performance-based bonus
• Attractive equity package
• Pension contributions
• Annual learning & development budget
• Office-led culture with hybrid flexibility
• Dog-friendly offices
• Home-office setup package
• Office socials and annual company-wide offsite

Who we are Qogita [Ko-gi-ta] is on a mission to make global trade radically efficient by building the operating system for modern wholesale.

Wholesale is a €50 trillion market still largely run through phone calls, catalogues and trade shows. Behind every product sits a fragmented chain of sourcing, trading and logistics that makes wholesale slower, more complex and expensive than it should be.

Qogita is changing this by connecting the global market into a single order book, building the rails to move products across borders efficiently, and providing the intelligence to help businesses know what to stock, what it’s worth and where it should go.

We operate across health and beauty in 30+ European markets, with ambitions to reach every category, everywhere. Backed by Accel, Bessemer, Dawn and LocalGlobe, we’re one of Europe’s fastest-growing B2B companies.

We’re an ambitious, pragmatic and highly collaborative team, united by a desire to reshape one of the world’s biggest markets.
