Senior Data Platform Engineer at Typeform — RealJobs — RealJobs

Who we are

Typeform is a refreshingly different form builder. We help over 150,000 businesses collect the data they need with forms, surveys, and quizzes that people enjoy. Designed to look striking and feel effortless to fill out, Typeform drives 500 million responses every year—and integrates with essential tools like Slack, Zapier, and Hubspot.

Typeform is fully remote by design. For this role, we can hire candidates based in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain or the Netherlands.

About the Team

We build and maintain the data pipelines, tracking systems, and platform components that power Typeform's data ecosystem. We partner closely with Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Data Science, and Platform Engineering to deliver trusted, scalable data assets that teams across the business rely on every day.

We're growing fast - our AI Enablement stream is taking shape, our Data Warehouse is evolving, and we're investing in near real-time capabilities that underpin some of Typeform's most important product initiatives. There's real work to do, and we're looking for engineers who want to help build things the right way.

About the Role

You'll report to the Senior Data Platform Manager and work hands-on across multiple delivery streams - from data ingestion and warehousing to AI infrastructure integration and near real-time services. This is a high-autonomy role: we expect you to scope, lead, and deliver projects independently, while collaborating closely with Data Platform peers and the broader Data organization.

Play an active role in the AI Enablement stream, helping to deliver the integration between Data Platform and AI infrastructure and services
Contribute to AI and data governance frameworks, helping establish best practices as our AI capabilities grow

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

Partner with Analytics Engineering, Data Science, Data Engineering, and Product to understand priorities and deliver reliable platform capabilities
Contribute to the development of shared standards, guidelines, and templates for the Data Platform team
Proactively identify and drive improvements to engineering practices and tooling

What you bring

Solid experience as a software or data platform engineer, with a background designing and implementing Data, ML, or AI platforms
Hands-on experience with Python, SQL, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines
Experience working with data in big data contexts, including warehousing and pipeline infrastructure
Strong communication skills and a track record of working cross-domain with data-adjacent teams (Data Science, Analytics, Product, Marketing)
Comfort working with autonomy in environments where scope and ownership are still evolving

Extra awesome

Experience with streaming architectures (Kafka or similar)
Familiarity with ClickHouse or columnar database infrastructure
Exposure to data governance frameworks or data quality tooling
