Our challenges are similar to those at other large (aviation) companies: finding, preparing, extracting, and integrating a highly diverse landscape of data. Existing data, and when needed, newly defined and created data — all revolving around our core process: transporting passengers and cargo.

Our ideal candidate enjoys processing streaming data (think terabytes) and knows their way around Scala
and Kafka
. Every few minutes, a new data dump arrives, ready to be used to check whether our predictions still match reality. Of course, everything is moving to the cloud — specifically GCP
— so being able to intelligently aggregate, partition, compare, and prepare data for analysis from multiple sources is key. Your expertise in Google BigQuery
will be one of our greatest assets. As a driven, self-starting enthusiast, youll proactively search for new data sources — data the company may have but can’t quite locate, never considered before, or that everyone wants access to. Since we work across departments, communication and networking are essential.

Deploying data pipelines and APIs, building infrastructure with Terraform on GCP
, industrializing machine learning — this excites you. All of it while adapting to a passionate and fast-moving team. You’ll help us solve the puzzle, which means shifting priorities, evolving architectures, and changing plans are part of the game.

You’ll join the central Data, OR, and AI department and start your first assignment with Next Gen Process Design. It’s a passionate, relatively young team (except for the manager — but don’t mention that to him) dedicated to real change. We believe that, by working with experts, we can drive meaningful transformation. Artificial Intelligence (or less buzzwordy: better predictions) has huge potential — but it only works if the company as a whole, not just individual departments, focuses on what we want to optimize.

Together with senior data science experts, strategic designers, and that slightly older but highly experienced manager (who’s been around long enough to know how things work), we’re aiming for system change. But not just high-level strategy talk — we’re focused on short-term impact. Only when we implement are we truly successful. Together with the departments, we strive to grow the pie for the whole company.
