About the opportunity

Are you ready to shape your future with confidence?

Making the world a little better every day together. For this claim, we at EY set everything in motion and go 'all in' as a team. After all, we have a clear goal in mind: to create sustainable value and growth – for our clients, employees, and society as a whole. Our global network of around 400.000 employees worldwide offers you every opportunity to grow, develop, specialize, and pursue your strengths and interests professionally. We believe that the right career path is as individual as you are.

Your Responsibilities

As part of our internationally oriented Digital Health Excellence Center, you will work with colleagues from various countries – while also being anchored at one of our German locations in Cologne, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt/Main, Hamburg, Munich, or Stuttgart. We realize both international projects and initiatives for German federal, state, and local administrations, thereby shaping modern, secure systems for millions of people.

The focus is on the digital transformation of the healthcare system – from interoperable IT solutions to innovative digital health strategies. You will take on a variety of tasks:

  1. Design and development of scalable data pipelines (ETL/ELT) for ingesting, transforming, and processing large and complex datasets
  1. Development and operation of orchestration workflows with Apache Airflow or Apache NiFi
  1. Support in building AI/ML/LLM pipelines by preparing, structuring, and optimizing data for model utilization
  1. Optimization of databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle) with a focus on performance tuning, indexing, and query optimization
  1. Ensuring data quality, data integrity, and reliability within production pipelines

Minimum requirements

Your Skillset

  1. At least 5 years of experience in Data Engineering and building modern data platforms, including the development of AI/ML pipelines, data preparation, feature engineering, and LLM integrations.
  1. Profound knowledge of Python (especially pandas), SQL, ETL/ELT processes, workflow orchestration (e.g., Airflow or NiFi), processing large datasets, and in-depth database expertise in PostgreSQL or Oracle, including performance optimization.
  1. Practical experience in Data Governance, data protection, and GDPR-compliant data processing, as well as ideally knowledge of relevant healthcare data standards such as HL7, FHIR, OMOP, and openEHR.

Your Mindset

  1. Agile: You believe that a flexible mindset is just as important for success as knowledge and skills.
  1. Curious: You are ambitious and dedicated. We are looking for people who see opportunities rather than challenges and find better solutions through targeted questions.
  1. Team-oriented: You value diverse perspectives and enjoy working in a team. We are looking for people who want to achieve something together with us and create a trusting work environment.

Your Benefits

At EY, you work in high-performing, interdisciplinary teams with innovative technologies. In a flexible and inclusive work environment, we support you in your various life situations. Inspiring colleagues as well as on- and off-the-job training and development opportunities help you to grow beyond yourself and further develop the skills you will need in the future. A steep learning curve is guaranteed.
