WeRoad is a community of travelers united by their will to discover faraway countries and cultures and their desire to share this experience with their peers.

📋 Description

• Lead and grow our Data Engineering team (1–2 engineers) — owning delivery, quality, and career development. • Own and evolve WeRoad's data architecture: the layered BigQuery warehouse (raw → marts → serving), the dbt transformation layer, and the semantic layer that defines our metrics. • Own the ingestion and orchestration stack — Airflow, dlt, and the move to serverless CDC — and the reliability, quality, and observability of our data pipelines. • Own the self-service BI and reporting toolkit (Tableau, Metabase, and our move to Lightdash / dashboards-as-code) so stakeholders can trust and explore their own data. • Establish and maintain data governance: data quality, lineage, documentation, PII and access controls, and self-service standards. • Drive AI across the team — AI-assisted engineering and production AI data pipelines — and its adoption as a standard practice. • Partner with the Director of Data Engineering & AI, the Data & BI team, Product, and business stakeholders to translate company priorities into a data roadmap.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years in data engineering / analytics engineering in fast-growing product companies, including designing and evolving cloud data warehouses and pipelines (BigQuery / GCP a strong plus) • Experience as a manager, leading and mentoring engineers — you know when to delegate, when to manage, and when to be hands-on (it's a small, senior team). • Strong SQL and hands-on expertise with dbt, modern ELT / ingestion (dlt or similar), and workflow orchestration (Airflow). • Experience with BI and dashboarding (Tableau, Metabase, Lightdash or similar) and building a semantic / metrics layer on top of the warehouse. • A track record of establishing data governance — quality, lineage, documentation, PII and access management, and self-service. • Demonstrable use of AI-assisted engineering and AI in data pipelines, and driving its adoption across a team. • Excellent communication skills • Fluent English; comfortable in a fast-paced, multi-market, remote-first environment.

🏖️ Benefits

• Performance-based bonus – A discretionary annual variable bonus, based on performance and company results. • A free WeRoad trip every year – Choose your dream destination with €1,400/year travel discount or travel even more as a Travel Coordinator. • Trust-based holidays – We believe performance is driven by impact, not by hours at a desk. You are encouraged to take the time you need to recharge, beyond contractual minimums, within shared guidelines. • Opportunities to learn – We invest in your growth with training and learning opportunities. • New parent support – €3,600/year for 3 years after birth or adoption (or prorated if your child is under 3 when you start at WeRoad). • Extra benefits – Meal vouchers (€8/day – when applicable), a €1,000 bonus for your wedding or civil union, and a one-off bonus when you hit 5 years with us. • Fun – A vibrant co-working space, team buildings and meet-ups. • Hybrid working – Flexible working, and we support you to work from your destination of choice up to 1 month per year.
