In short

As a data engineer you’ll design data models, build data pipelines, automate builds and deployments using CI/CD, decipher APIs, while leveraging SQL to provide clean, tested, documented and well-defined data.

You will act as a point of contact for the commercial function and collaborate with the stakeholders within that function to create relevant data products to enhance the data quality of the commercial master data and its adoption at On.

You will be an active enabler in the evolution of our Go To Market process by working closely with the commercial stakeholder, data analysts and other data engineers within On’s transformation program.

Your Mission

As On is growing, so are our data needs. Here, you'll play an important role in shaping the data roadmap while optimizing existing and new data products. You will collaborate closely with fellow data engineers as well as data analysts in the functions to develop our Data Products further.

What your first 6 months at On might look like:

1 month:

  • Get to know the data landscape and introduce yourself to various teams you will be interacting with.
  • Pick up and resolve your first change request.
  • Participate in code reviews making sure that our code is well designed, tested, robust, secure, compliant, performant and readable.

3 months:

  • Introduce a new data source or feature to our codebase.
  • Act as a subject matter expert in a business function’s data engineering efforts.

6 months:

  • Introduce a significant data product to our systems.
