Data engineer jobs at Berlin startups

30 active roles

Every Berlin startup that reaches a certain size discovers it has a data problem before it has a data team. That is when the data engineer gets hired: the person who turns a tangle of events and exports into pipelines other people can trust. I pull these roles from each company's public careers feed and refresh them daily, so the list reflects who is actually hiring right now.

The work clusters around a familiar shape. Ingestion and reshaping, a warehouse like Snowflake or BigQuery, orchestration with Airflow or its cousins, and enough modelling sense to keep the tables clean. SQL is non-negotiable and Python is almost always expected. The better listings are clear about whether you are building the platform or serving analysts, so I keep each description verbatim and let the team draw that line.

If you are moving to Berlin, the two filters that matter are German and visa sponsorship. I classify each role by how much German it requires so you can skip the ones expecting fluency, and I flag visa sponsorship at the company level where the signal is clear.

Questions

What tools do these roles expect?
Usually SQL plus Python, a cloud warehouse such as Snowflake or BigQuery, and an orchestration tool. The exact stack varies by company, so read the listing for the specifics rather than assuming.
Are these listings up to date?
Yes. Each role is pulled from the company's careers feed every day, so a new data engineering opening appears the morning after it is posted and drops off when the company removes it.
Can I avoid roles that require German?
Yes. Each role is labelled for its German requirement. Use the no-German view, or subscribe with that filter saved, and you will only see data engineering roles that do not require German.
