Stellenbeschreibung

(Please read our website before applying) http://datascienceretreat.com/ This is not a job, but a 3-month bootcamp for pretty good engineers to get even better in data engineering, create a portfolio project that would convince pretty much any company, and get hired. To do that, we put together a team of experts and let people work as hard as they can with them. If you have the time, the precondition skills, and the inclination, there's no faster way to become a big-data engineer with a very lucrative career. Our graduates are extremely employable and do get multiple offers from the very best data-driven companies in Europe. The role sits somewhere between a backend engineer and a data scientist. In some organizations, a data engineer will spend their days performing database design.Focus is on databases, big data processing, and distributed systems. It starts July 1st, and runs for three months in Berlin (There's another batch starting Oct). You will have access to very senior data engineers, contributors to leading open source packages, etc. It's the kind of setup that I wish I had when I started. You will improve your skills faster and deeper than you would by trying self-teaching. After three months, you will be introduced to some of the best data-driven companies in EU and US in a demo day; you will present your portfolio project, and speed-dating interview with all of them. Next door you will have Data Science Retreat, our sister program that is now on batch 04 and whose graduates are now all working at Amazon, Zalando, Kreditech, etc. These companies are likely hiring from the data engineer track.
