Principal Engineer (Data & Platform)

Principal Engineer (Data & Platform)

Berlin, Germany | ONSITE (2 days/week) | Full-time

Looking for experienced engineers to build and scale infrastructure and data platforms for a Berlin asset management fund. We are betting big on AI to drive investment returns and build the best infrastructure to support our high alpha targets (track record >30% p.a. since inception; https://bitcap.com/en/bit-global-technology-opportunities-ai...).

You’ll design large‑scale data pipelines, evolve our lakehouse architecture, strengthen data quality and observability, and build infrastructure for AI/LLM workflows (agentic scaffolding, RAG, LLMOps, AI for engineering). We are looking for a hands‑on technical leader who steers initiatives end‑to‑end while staying deep in implementation.

We have our roots in tech entrepreneurship (Jan Beckers), and this mindset still dominates our work culture, even as a regulated financial institution. We are a team of ~40 with a flat hierarchy, hands‑on leadership, fast‑paced decisions, and a slightly nerdy culture as people are actually passionate about their work. Stack: AWS, Databricks/Spark, Python, PostgreSQL, Agentic AI.

If the complexity of financial markets excites you as much as the complexity of distributed systems, you’ll love it here. Competitive comp, relocation & visa support, stellar team.
