Build a modern cloud-native data platform at Swiss Re in Bratislava—Python, Postgres, Azure.
Join a hybrid team driving data engineering innovation for asset management.
Want to build and operate a modern data platform while migrating from Oracle to Azure? Join our Asset Management Data Platform team as we evolve a mission-critical data warehouse into a cloud-native platform powered by Python and Postgres.
About the Role
As a Data Engineer, you will work on the design, implementation, and operation of data solutions supporting Asset Management analytics and reporting. Your work will span the full engineering lifecycle, from understanding business requirements and designing technical solutions to building, testing, deploying, and maintaining data pipelines and data products.
You will develop and optimise data models, transformations, and integrations using modern data engineering practices. You will work on a platform undergoing a full migration from a legacy Oracle stack to a modern Azure-based architecture, dealing with challenges such as data consistency, performance optimisation, and system reliability at scale.
You are expected to take ownership of your solutions in production, support deployments and releases, and actively contribute to improving engineering standards, tooling and practices.
About the Team
You will join a senior Data Platform engineering team that owns the design, build, and operation of a data warehouse and reporting platform, critical for Asset Management. The team is driving its transformation from a legacy Oracle stack to a cloud‑native Azure architecture built on Python and Postgres, with a strong focus on engineering excellence, automation, and platform reliability. We value ownership, clean design, DevOps discipline, and continuous improvement, while steadily adopting AI‑supported engineering practices across the SDLC.
