Most technologies promise the future. We're already building it. At **MOTOR Ai**, we've spent years doing what others said couldn't be done in Germany: developing Europe's first certifiable Level 4 autonomous driving system - one that doesn't just detect the world around it, but understands it. Rooted in cognitive neuroscience and driven by a team that bridges disciplines, we're not waiting for autonomous mobility to arrive. We're the reason it will. * Data Infrastructure Strategy & Architecture - Define the strategy and architecture for data platforms, storage, and pipelines, ensuring scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency as our data volume and usage grow * Team Leadership - Build, lead, and develop the data infrastructure team, ensuring the right skills and capacity to support engineering, ML, and simulation data needs * Platform Reliability & Scalability - Ensure data platforms and pipelines are robust, monitored, and able to scale with our growing data and compute requirements * Cross-Functional Enablement - Partner with data engineering, AI, perception, and simulation teams to ensure infrastructure meets their evolving data access and processing needs * Data Security & Governance - Establish standards for data security, access control, and versioning, ensuring our data infrastructure is compliant, auditable, and trustworthy * A completed degree in computer science, data engineering, information systems, or a comparable field - or equivalent vocational training/apprenticeship in a relevant technical discipline. Hands-on experience counts at least as much as the formal qualification * 10+ years of hands-on experience in data infrastructure or data platform engineering, including experience building infrastructure from the ground up * A proven track record designing and operating data platforms for very large data volumes, together with a solid understanding of infrastructure budgeting and cost optimization * Experience leading and developing a team, including prior organizational or people-management responsibility * A technical skill set comparable to a senior data engineer - solid, hands-on experience with cloud data infrastructure, storage systems, and data pipelines * Strong communication skills, with the ability to align stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams * English C1 is required; German is a plus * Genuine team spirit: working in teams that drive change forward - no matter how complex and extensive the projects are * Flexible working hours - with room for the realities of life (parenthood, caregiving responsibilities, voluntary work, etc.) * Whether it's fashion, beauty, travel or culture - you'll receive numerous discounts through our partner Corporate Benefits * Social relevance: We work on solutions that have game-changing qualities * Subsidy for public transport tickets * Your professional development is important to us - that's why we cover the costs of further education and training * Excellent transport links: attractive location in Wedding with very good public transport connections * Focus on people: Our strength lies in our diversity. We respect each other for who we are
