Senior Data Engineer

Our vision is to transform presentations, meetings and lectures by turning passive audiences into engaged contributors. We make this possible through our interactive presentation platform where the traditional presentation monologue becomes an inclusive dialogue. We believe in the power of together and that the most successful leaders listen to be heard.

With Mentimeter, users become the best presenter they can be. Meetings become more productive, participants learn more and have fun whilst doing it.

We have more than 300 million users and customers worldwide, on our way of making the world a better place, one presentation at a time.

The DPT team:

The Data Platform Team at Mentimeter builds data products and services that influence the future path of the company. The team is part of the Tech Foundation organization and collaborates closely with the Data and Analytics organization which consists of other embedded and central teams of data scientists, analysts and insight people. Here, you’ll be working on a data ecosystem that serves all of the departments (Product, Marketing, Sales and Finance) with both data as well as infrastructure. You will have a direct impact on the future of Mentimeter’s business and product decisions.

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will be involved in architecting and building data platforms to tackle business and technical use cases. We currently use Heroku and AWS with technologies such as Postgres, Redshift, Looker, ECS, Prefect, dbt, Python, TypeScript and Terraform. We are always exploring new technologies and you would also be part of the next leap in data platform maturity. Initially your team will consist of a Lead and four Data Engineers.

Further enriching our vision is the emerging potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI. The synergy between LLMs and Mentimeter is a match made in the heavens. We anticipate lots of opportunities in which AI could profoundly influence the evolution of our product and our internal operations. In your capacity as a Senior Data Engineer, you would play a critical role in building the foundations that would fuel this future, with data.
