Aim High

Ataccama ONE is an agentic data trust platform with data quality at its core. It combines data quality, observability, catalog, lineage, reference data and master data management in one product, so that some of the world’s largest enterprises can trust their data – and let AI agents act on it. Core is the group behind our well-established product suite – the foundation of Ataccama’s business today and the reason we have such a large, trusting enterprise customer base – and this role sits on the backend of its Data Quality team.

Your Challenge - Build and maintain a truly complex self-service data trust platform that lets business users validate, govern and work with data without learning SQL or depending on more technical colleagues

- Work on a well-established, complex product with a large enterprise customer base – improving and optimizing existing solutions rather than designing everything from scratch

- Contribute to and own parts of our data quality and data processing components: scalable backend systems designed to perform under huge amounts of data, built on microservices, messaging systems and well-designed APIs

- Collaborate closely with our product manager to turn user and customer problems into pragmatic, technically sound features

- Own features end-to-end, from design to production deployment and operations – we expect software that is ready to deploy and run in cloud environments

- Mentor teammates with empathy – supporting juniors and constructively challenging seniors through thoughtful code reviews and design conversations

- Play a hands-on role in architectural decisions, balancing innovation with simplicity and taking part in decisions that shape how our product is developed
