We're looking for an analytical and ambitious Technical/Data Product Owner (m/f/d) for our customer journey data tracking team.

About the team you'd be working with

The team is fully responsible for tracking customer behavior on all devices and delivering insights in real-time. We capture about 1.000 events per second, clean and enrich them, and finally transform them into a custom data model that is used for further analytical use cases throughout the company.

In this team, you will work with high volumes of data, utilize state-of-the-art technology, and have a direct impact by providing tangible value to our stakeholders. You will have the opportunity to apply the whole spectrum of data engineering, including collection, transformation, long-term storage, and extracting value out of our data.

We're a small team, distributed over Berlin and Lisbon, looking for a Product Owner to identify new ways of improving the product and contribute to expanding our product impact.

We work closely together with data science teams, other data engineers, and data analysts who use our product for data-driven decisions and forecasts.

You can expect to be responsible for a fully mature, monitored, and adopted product. With your help and enthusiasm, we want to broaden and enhance our product vision even further.

We are a self-organized and cross-functional team with a high focus on autonomy and ownership, using typical agile frameworks. Moreover, we invite you to be an active contributor to the Product Owner Community and challenge the Status quo at FlixTech.

Our goal is to enable everyone at FLIX to make better and faster business decisions, automate as much as possible, collect and utilize data and apply the most modern technology to all entities within FLIX.

Here are some of the technologies we use: Python, Apache Spark (PySpark), Kubernetes, Kafka, Snowflake, AWS, Terraform/Terragrunt, Gitlab CI/CD
