Data Analytics Engineer
We respect people and the limits of our planet. ResQ Club offers an easy-to-use marketplace for sellers and buyers to jointly turn surplus goods from cost into value.
30% of the food produced worldwide is wasted. It is estimated that 11 million tons of food ends up in the trash instead of in hungry mouths every year. ResQ Club was created to solve this huge and complex problem – in other words, to bring global food waste to zero. But our mission doesn't stop at just food waste. We envision a society where people are conscious of their consumption and the waste it generates.
Impossible problems require unconventional minds. We are constantly looking for talented people who can challenge the status quo, find creative yet sustainable solutions, and – as empathic team members – do their part in making sure the work is meaningful and fun for everyone involved.
We are currently hiring a Data Analytics Engineer to support our growth and internal decision-making. Your key responsibilities include ensuring seamless integration of data into our existing pipeline, maintaining data accuracy and integrity, and managing and developing the data pipeline.

- We leverage advanced AI models like GPT-4 and Claude to enhance our data analysis, automate routine tasks, and generate insights.
- Cursor is our IDE (but you’re of course free to use any tool you like)
Our ideal candidate is…
- Proficient in SQL and Python with a strong understanding of relational databases and data systems.
- Quick learner with a passion for staying at the forefront of AI and data technologies, able to adapt swiftly to new tools and methodologies in this rapidly evolving field.

Working for a better tomorrow
Food waste is one of the biggest global challenges contributing to climate change. We're literally working for a better, greener future. With us, there's no need to dig deep to realise your work has a purpose. -
Small team, big impact
We have a small team, and intend to keep it as small as possible, yet on a sustainable level fostering a healthy work-life balance. Your impact on our company will be big.
-
Great, proven product
No matter of your position, your work will revolve around our product in some way. And our product is really good, giving you a good start for success. -
Flexible remote policy
We believe that teams know best what kind of a working mode is ideal for them in their line of work, and therefore we let the teams decide themselves. However, occasionally we might have situations where on-site presence is requested, and obviously seeing your co-workers is always nice. -
Support for development
We want to see you progress both professionally and as a person, which is why we have a personal self-development fund for all employees and are constantly looking into ways to improve. -
Paid holiday
Everyone is entitled to paid holiday right from the get-go – and we want to make sure that you actually use your holiday to recharge.
-
Paid parental leave
There are important things and then there are work things. We offer 3 months of fully paid parental leave, regardless of your gender or how you become a parent. -
Flexible public holidays
Not everyone’s heritage and beliefs match the public holiday scheme of the country they currently work in, so we're offering our employees the possibility to make a "day-off trade": work on a public holiday occurring on a weekday and take any other day off to celebrate something that fits their values and culture.
