Data engineer - Compliancy & Insights platform

Our Engineering Enablement Department exists to accelerate teams worldwide by providing tools and services that help them unlock their full potential. In short, the department enables teams to deliver quality customer value quickly and autonomously. The tools and services are built with and for the engineering community.

As an engineer in the Engineering Enablement Platform, you build products and platforms for engineers and contribute directly to creating a state-of-the-art, self-service ecosystem of products and automation. You do this as a full-fledged member of the enablement team, working with users and maintainers throughout the organization according to inner-sourcing principles to fit ideas into the bigger picture.

Our product

ShadowCat revolutionizes evidence collection by automating the entire process and presenting it in dashboards. Gone are the days of manually gathering evidence. With ShadowCat, the more you align with other engineering enablement products, the more automated your evidence collection becomes.

ShadowCat also provides deep insights into the efficiency of your software development process. By offering access to standardized metrics and definitions through intuitive dashboards, you can easily identify areas for improvement and optimize your workflow. We look at industry standards such as DORA.

• Contribute to the design and implementation of a scalable data platform architecture on Azure
• Be part of the larger enablement community and help us improve every day
