Data Engineer

ABOUT VIKTOR Viktor is the AI teammate.

He lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams connects to thousands of tools and does real work for real companies: finance marketing ops engineering.

We're building the product that replaces half the SaaS stack.

The team is small.

The scope is not.

THE SHORT VERSION You own the truth.

You use code and AI agents to build the pipelines answer the questions and ship the dashboards everyone else relies on.

You own whether the numbers are right not whether you typed every query yourself.

You don't wait for someone to tell you what's happening; you go find out then bring the answer to the team.

Equal parts engineer and analyst.

You ship.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON HERE The data foundation is already in use and still evolving.

You improve the warehouse pipelines dashboards and alerts while keeping them dependable as the product and company change.

You'll join our analytics function early with no data lead above you.

The foundation is in motion not finished: you take real ownership of the warehouse pipelines dashboards and alerts and build them out.

You report to Peter Albert.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO - Own the ClickHouse warehouse end-to-end.

Schema ingestion backfills performance.

You decide how it's structured and what gets in. - Build and maintain the pipelines.

Prod Postgres Stripe Slack ad platforms whatever's next.

You build and operate them with tests monitoring and safe backfills.

You own the recovery when they fail and verify the data not just that the job ran. - Run the BI layer.

Hex dashboards for growth finance support product.

You build maintain and prune them; dead dashboards are worse than none. - Answer the questions that move the business.

Retention cohorts credit and unit economics channel attribution churn pricing impact.

You bring answers proactively. - Stand up monitoring and alerting.

We hear about a metric moving the wrong way from your alerts not from a customer. - Work with the co-founders and leaders across the company.

You scope prioritize ship fast and push back when the question isn't the right one.

HOW YOU'LL KNOW IT'S WORKING - The team makes decisions faster because the numbers are clear and trusted. - People stop building parallel spreadsheets.

The dashboard is the source of truth. - When a metric moves you knew first. - The co-founders stop pulling numbers themselves because you're better at it. - New hires can answer most business questions without asking anyone.

WHO YOU ARE - Metrics understanding.

You understand what business metrics mean and how they are calculated.

You reason about definitions denominators cohorts and segmentation spot misleading comparisons and connect metric changes to what is happening in the business. - Strong Python engineering for ingestion transformations and orchestration.

You build test and maintain reliable pipelines not just notebooks. - Agentic engineering is part of your daily workflow.

You use coding agents to move faster while taking responsibility for correctness maintainability and production behavior. - Familiar with columnar warehouses (ClickHouse Snowflake BigQuery Redshift).

Bonus for ClickHouse since that's what we're on. - Built BI layers from scratch (Hex Metabase Looker).

You know a dashboard that gets used from one bookmarked once and forgotten. - Product mindset.

Proactive challenges assumptions biases toward action. - Founder mentality.

You act like an owner of the function not a ticket-taker in it. - Munich or Warsaw.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT - No layers.

No data lead above you.

You own the foundation. - The work you ship defines how the company makes decisions.

As the warehouse and BI layer improve every team gets faster. - The questions are real: retention cohorts credit economics channel attribution at the unit level.

The answers change what we do next quarter. - The co-founders already believe data is strategic.

No convincing anyone it matters.

EVEN BETTER IF - Experience taking ownership in a small fast-moving team. - Familiarity with Stripe and SaaS metrics: MRR ARR NDR LTV.

You've helped close the books not just queried them. - Background in ML or forecasting.

Helpful not essential. - You've worked where founders pulled their own numbers and you loved replacing that habit.

HOW WE WORK Small team high trust low process.

Decisions are made by owners not committees.

You will ship your first week.

You will talk to users your first day.

WHY VIKTOR We're building an AI teammate that does real work across a company's tools.

This is a rare window: everyone here owns something real.

Not a task.

A surface of the company that customers depend on.

That doesn't last forever.

Right now it's still true.

COMPENSATION Top-of-the-market salary and the kind of ownership that only exists at this stage.

The best work happens when you're in the room.

This role is Munich or Warsaw.
