## Job description

## About Grover

Founded in 2015, Grover enables consumers and businesses across Europe to subscribe to tech devices and comprehensive technology solutions - from individual smartphones, laptops, and wearables to full corporate device setups. The company offers access to over 1,000 unique tech items on flexible and financially convenient terms. A pioneer of the circular economy, Grover refurbishes and recirculates devices to help eliminate e-waste.

To continue this incredible adventure, we are currently looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our talented Data Platform team, full-time (40 hours/week) and a minimum 3 days per week (Tuesday-Thursday) at our Berlin HQ.

Grover's Data Platform team is mid-transformation, migrating from Redshift, Tableau, and Redash to Snowflake, dbt, Looker, Airflow, and Airbyte while also moving from centralized to decentralized analytics. You'll report to the Data Platform Lead and take ownership of the most complex, high-volume data pipelines and automations, as well as the data infrastructure across the platform, working alongside senior Analytics Engineers and another Senior Data Engineer. This is a hands-on role with real influence over how Grover's data infrastructure is built for the long term.

🎯 What you will contribute:

- Ingestion & Processing: Architect, scale, and maintain high-volume ingestion pipelines, including preprocessing and parsing complex payloads before landing in the warehouse.
- Platform Automation & Migration: Build end-to-end automations across AWS (S3), Airflow, and the cloud data warehouse while stabilizing, documenting, and migrating legacy data flows.
- Orchestration Ownership: Own and evolve Apache Airflow as a platform, driving version upgrades, configuration, and architectural best practices.
- Observability & Reliability: Implement monitoring, alerting, resource tracking, and automated data quality checks, diagnosing pipeline issues at the root cause.
- Performance & FinOps Ownership: Take active responsibility for the data platform's costs (e.g., Snowflake credits). You will optimize warehouse performance and build systems to track compute usage down to the individual user level, ensuring all ~30 data champions are operating efficiently and accountable for the costs they generate.
- Architecture & Enablement: Serve as a senior technical voice on platform decisions and enable decentralized analytics by building a platform that serves ~30 data champions.

🤝 What you bring:

- Experience & Core Tech: 5+ years in data engineering with deep proficiency in Python, SQL, and modern ELT design patterns, ideally within dynamic tech companies.
- Data Platforms & Orchestration: Hands-on production experience with modern cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and Apache Airflow.
- Cloud & IaC: Proven experience designing cloud data infrastructure (ideally AWS) and provisioning scalable environments using Terraform.
- Engineering Best Practices: Solid track record with Git, testing frameworks, CI/CD, proactive documentation, and reducing technical debt.
- FinOps Discipline & Mentality: A strong cost-ownership mindset. Beyond standard compute sizing and storage management, you have experience in (or see the value in) building usage tracking, attributing costs to specific users or queries, and proactively staying on top of the platform's cost optimization.
- Business Mindset & Collaboration: Pragmatic systems thinker who translates business requirements into technical solutions and communicates effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Communication & Language: Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, which is our company language.
- Nice-to-haves: Hands-on experience with dbt, Kubernetes, and Kafka.

🚀 The Grover Way - How We Drive Success:

- Own It: We take ownership seriously and define what success looks like. We drive shared ownership and don't wait - we drive. We keep one another accountable and take responsibility when issues arise.
- Challenge, Decide, and Commit: We engage in proactive support, active listening, and healthy conflict to reach the best outcomes. We value diverse perspectives and, once a decision is made, we commit to it fully.
- Empower and Grow: We enable, trust, and coach one another toward high performance, always thinking and acting like owners. We seek growth, apply feedback, and support the development of our peers.
- Respect, Transparency, and Clarity: We strive for clear, respectful, and open communication with no surprises. We simplify complex information so everyone knows the "what, why, and how".

❤️‍🔥 What you will love about us:

- A diverse global team of 75 nationalities (and counting!)
- Virtual or In-person Coaching Sessions with the Fürstenberg Institut
- Physical health support with Urban Sports Club
- Annual learning budget of 750€
- 15 remote business days per year to work abroad
- 4 Volunteer days per year
- Exclusive Grover Tech discount
- BVG monthly discount to drive you everywhere in Berlin
- Engaging, open office located in Berlin-Schöneberg with regular events

Embark on a rewarding journey with the Grover Rocketship, where your impact is felt, and together, we cultivate a more circular world. 💚

We are looking forward to e-meeting you! 🚀

## About Grover

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Grover is the global leader in technology rentals, enabling consumers and businesses to subscribe to tech products on a flexible monthly basis instead of buying them.

- **Headquarters**: Berlin, Germany
- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Michael Cassau

## Core Business

- **Target customers**: B2C (individuals) and B2B (businesses, SMBs, enterprises); operates in 19 countries including Germany, Austria, Spain, Netherlands, and the United States.
- **Mission or purpose**: “Make exceptional technology accessible to everyone – because technology is a basic human right.” Grover aims to shift the economy from “buy-use-dispose” to a circular, sustainable model.

## Products & Services
- **Grover (B2C)**: A subscription service offering over 3,000 tech products – smartphones, laptops, VR gear, wearables, smart home devices – on a flexible monthly rental basis. Users can keep, switch, return, or buy the product at any time. Available online at grover.com and via partner retail (e.g., MediaMarktSaturn in Germany).
- **Grover Business (B2B)**: A managed tech procurement and subscription service for companies, handling device lifecycle management so businesses can focus on growth.
- **Refurbishment & Circular Services**: Devices are returned, refurbished, and re-rented, extending their useful life and reducing e-waste. To date, Grover has circulated over 1.2 million devices.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed. Total funding exceeds €1.4 billion (approx. $1.5B) according to the company’s own site, while LinkedIn reports $2.4 billion in total funding (including debt). These are conflicting reports; the $2.4B figure likely includes debt facilities.
- **Key Metric**:
  - Annual Revenue: $120 million (LinkedIn estimate, likely 2024/2025).
  - Total Funding: $2.4 billion (LinkedIn) / ~€1.4 billion (company site).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Energy Impact Partners (led Series C), JMS Capital-Everglen (led Series B), Varengold Bank, Kreos Capital, and Europe’s largest electronics retailer MediaMarktSaturn as a strategic partner.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Expanded to 19 countries, including the United States.
  - Circulated over 1.2 million devices.
  - Headcount of ~214 employees (LinkedIn data, -9.3% YoY) – conflicting with company statements of “400+ employees” (likely historical or broader definition). Recent job postings indicate continued hiring in key roles.

## Competitive Advantages

- **Circular economy model** that reduces e-waste and extracts maximum value from each device, appealing to sustainability-conscious consumers and businesses.
- **Flexible subscription terms** – no long-term commitment, ability to switch/return/buy – which differentiates from traditional retail or leasing.
- **Scale and data**: Over 1M devices circulated and a large inventory of refurbished products gives Grover pricing power and operational efficiency.
- **B2B offering** provides a managed service that simplifies IT procurement for companies, a growing segment.

## Strategic Focus
- **International expansion**, especially in the US market (already launched grover.com/us-en).
- **Growing the B2B channel** (Grover Business) to capture enterprise and SMB demand for flexible tech subscriptions.
- **Deepening partnerships** with retailers and OEMs to expand distribution.
- **Sustainability leadership**: Promoting the circular economy model as a core differentiator and potentially attracting ESG-focused investors.

## Why Work Here
- **Hybrid work model**: Employees at Berlin HQ work in the office three days a week (Tuesday–Thursday), plus up to 30 business days per year of remote work from almost anywhere.

- **Employee rating**: 3.1/5 on LinkedIn (166 reviews) – moderate scores for work-life (3.5), compensation (3.1), culture (3.0), career (2.8). Some caution for job seekers, but perks and growth opportunities are highlighted.
- **Recent open roles** (as of July 2025): Director of Finance & Transformation, Sr. Product Analyst, Account Executive, Performance Marketing Manager, German Creative Copywriter, etc. (mostly German-speaking positions).
