WeRoad is a community of travelers united by their will to discover faraway countries and cultures and share these experiences with peers. The company designs tours for groups of people who share similar interests and lifestyles, offering them life-changing travel experiences. WeRoad emphasizes small group travel led by a Travel Coordinator, who facilitates encounters with local communities and cultures. Their vision is to become the leading group travel tour operator for the Millennial generation, aiming to revolutionize the approach Millennials take towards group travel.

📋 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.
