Why RoomPriceGenie?

We're a company that takes both culture and product seriously, and we have the recognition to back it up: Best Place to Work in Hotel Tech (2026) and Best Revenue Management Software (2026). We operate at real scale, powering pricing for thousands of hotels worldwide on a modern data stack (Snowflake, Databricks, Dagster, dbt, AWS). We give engineers real ownership and autonomy, with support always there when you need it. This role is fully remote within Europe, and you'll be helping disrupt a traditional industry while making a tangible impact on how hotels run their business.

Your Role

We're looking for product-minded Data Engineers who care as much about why we build something as how we build it.

At RoomPriceGenie, you'll work at the intersection of software engineering, data analytics, and business impact. You won't just build pipelines; you'll understand who relies on your work and what decisions it enables. Our data powers pricing recommendations for 3,000+ hotels worldwide, helping independent hoteliers set the right pricing. When you ship something here, you'll see the direct impact on real businesses and the people who run them.

Your Responsibilities

• Build and own. Design scalable data pipelines using our modern stack (Snowflake, Dagster, dbt) and take them from idea to production to monitoring. You'll own the full lifecycle.

• Modernize with purpose. Help us migrate legacy Django/Celery pipelines to our modern platform. This is an opportunity to reshape how data flows through our entire product.

• Bridge the gap. Work closely with Product, Analytics, and Engineering (Backend, Frontend, and Data Science). Translate business questions into technical designs. Ensure analysts and data scientists can actually use what you build.

• Care about quality. Champion data reliability through testing, observability, and documentation. Multiple teams depend on your work daily; accuracy and trust are non-negotiable.

Your Profile

• 4+ years of professional Python experience, ideally in data engineering and/or backend systems.

• Strong experience building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines in production environments on modern cloud data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift).

• Strong experience in data modeling, including analytics-ready schema design, fact/dimension modeling, and performance optimization, along with data testing and documentation practices that ensure long-term data quality, trust, and maintainability.

• Experience working with orchestrated data pipelines (e.g., Dagster, Airflow, or similar tools).

• Experience building backend or ingestion services using Python web frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, or Flask.

• Familiarity with background task processing and asynchronous workflows (e.g., Celery or similar systems).

• Experience working with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS (e.g., S3, RDS/Aurora).

• Strong understanding of software design principles and data pipeline architecture.

• Experience working with large datasets using tools such as pandas, polars or NumPy.

• An analytical mindset with an interest in data quality, KPIs, and data-driven decision-making.

• Excellent communication skills—you can explain complex technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• High ownership mentality—you take responsibility for reliability, quality, and long-term maintainability.

• A collaborative, egoless team player who thrives in cross-functional environments.

• Familiarity with product-oriented data teams serving multiple stakeholders.

• Fluent in English and comfortable participating in technical discussions.

• Based in the European Time Zone (UTC+0 to UTC+2).

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with dbt (modeling, testing, documentation, performance tuning).

• Experience with or interest in modernizing legacy data pipelines.

• Hands-on experience with:

  • Celery & RabbitMQ

  • PostgreSQL

  • Django/FastAPI

  • Datadog and/or Sentry

  • Semantic layers/metrics modeling tools (e.g. Cube, Looker/LookML, dbt metrics, MetricFlow, or similar).

• Experience building data observability and monitoring solutions.
