Data Engineer

About Spott

Spott is a YC-backed AI startup with its office in Leuven, Belgium. We are on a mission to transform the recruitment industry. Together, we're building the first AI-native recruitment platform (ATS & CRM) that empowers agency recruiters to close more placements and help everyone find the right job more easily.

Why?

Recruitment is a $700B+ industry still running on outdated methods. The biggest players are slow to innovate. Spott isn't a tool that will be added to legacy software, it is a full reset. We are the core operating software. AI-native, fast, scalable, and personal.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll make sure recruitment firms can move smoothly from their legacy systems to Spott.

✔️ You can navigate undocumented systems, reverse-engineer data models on the fly, and solve problems through experimentation.

✔️ You approach complex data challenges with practical, solutions-focused thinking.

✔️ Experience with dbt, SQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake and Python

✔️ Experience with Terraform and Azure is a plus

What You’ll Do

✔️ Data Migrations: Design, manage, and optimize complex data migrations

✔️ Pipeline Development: Develop and maintain ETL/ELT processes using dbt and Snowflake to efficiently manage and transform large datasets

✔️ Documentation & Process Creation: Establish clear, efficient processes for data handling and write documentation for end-to-end pipeline management

✔️ Own the end-to-end process: Including the injection of new data into our production environments and supporting customer success to delight the client during this migration

What We Offer

✔️ Competitive salary and generous stock options

✔️ The chance to grow with us and achieve your career aspirations.

✔️ Great team vibe with regular dinners, sports activities and international offsites

Overall, if joining a high growth company, with an extremely talented & ambitious team sounds appealing to you, then you should apply - even if you don't match all criteria 🙂
