Company Description
ABOUT YOU is one of Europe’s fastest growing e-commerce companies. Based in Hamburg and Berlin, we operate at the intersection of fashion and technology. Our mission is to rethink online shopping and make it personal and seamless. This takes more than good ideas. It takes people who take initiative and challenge the status quo. We believe in flat hierarchies, direct communication, and pragmatic decisions. No long approval chains. Just ownership, trust, and clear responsibility. We work hard, but we also believe in enjoying the ride together - over team lunches, afterwork drinks, company events, or a quick coffee in between meetings. If this sounds like you, ABOUT YOU could be the right place to bring in your perspective.

Data Quality & Validation Governance: Establish rigorous, automated data validation frameworks and schema checks to shield public-facing reporting dashboards and analytical tables from upstream variance or structural drift
-
Deconstruct Legacy Transformations: Lead the migration of complex analytical transformation rules and data aggregation queries directly out of historical legacy application repositories into modular, decoupled analytics environments
-
Resolve Catalog & Domain Coupling: Partner with Data Engineers to engineer clean data modeling boundaries around shared catalog assets (such as products and brands) that connect the decentralized product stack with core platform endpoints.
