The Role

Zeta Global is seeking a talented and versatile Data Engineer to join our Data Exchange team within our highly skilled development office in Copenhagen. This team plays a critical role in developing and deploying Zeta’s next-generation data science and engineering technology, collaborating closely with our global teams in the US, Europe, India and Philippines. The Copenhagen office boasts a dynamic and focused environment, comprising a core group of start-up veterans and approximately 30 highly skilled professionals.

As a member of the Data Exchange team, you will contribute to the analysis, development, and maintenance of our complex data infrastructure, a sophisticated ecosystem of interconnected systems. This team tackles a continuous stream of challenging projects originating from across the organization, demanding a high degree of expertise and innovation. We are seeking candidates with a strong foundation in data engineering, data analysis, and software development principles, and a demonstrated interest in exploring the intersections between these disciplines.

The ideal candidate for the Data Engineer position at Zeta Global Copenhagen is a highly motivated and analytical individual with a passion for understanding complex (software) systems. You are adept at using data to identify issues, formulate solutions, and develop robust data pipelines and software. You thrive in an environment that offers significant autonomy in planning and executing your work, yet you are also a strong collaborator, readily engaging with fellow developers and international product stakeholders.

You will be involved in every stage of the development process, from initial brainstorming to ongoing maintenance, with a primary emphasis on analysis, prototyping, and development. Our development process is a dynamic blend of agile and rapid prototyping methodologies, designed to foster a culture of "flexibility under responsibility." We prioritize focused development time and believe in the power of collaborative problem-solving, encouraging team members to both seek and offer assistance readily.

This is a hybrid role based out of our Copenhagen, Denmark office.
