Responsibilities and Tasks:

Automate data and process use cases across the client’s production and manufacturing landscape, designing, building, and maintaining ETL and data integration pipelines

Hands-on experience with ETL or data integration (commercial, working-student, internship, or substantial project work), and with at least one data automation or workflow tool

Working SQL: joins, aggregation, and the habit of verifying that a load actually did what it was supposed to

Practical understanding of APIs and system integration, including authentication, pagination, and error handling

English: Upper-Intermediate (B2+)

Nice‑to‑have:

Process automation or workflow orchestration (Apache NiFi, Apache Airflow, KNIME)

Experience in industrial, manufacturing, or Smart Factory environments

Python or other scripting language

Long-term mindset and staying power: genuinely motivated to grow within this role and domain for several years
