Senior Product Data Engineer (remote, Europe)

Remote — Data Insights Team — Full-time

Modash gives brands the tools to work with the right content creators and helps creators earn a living doing what they love. Behind the scenes, the Data Insights team is building the intelligence layer that turns raw social media signals into trusted, customer-facing data products — with reliable access, quality, and freshness at scale.⁠

We’re looking for a hardened Senior Product Data Engineer to help us scale these systems end-to-end, raise our quality bar, and accelerate how quickly we turn messy public data into consistent, valuable insights customers can build on.⁠⁠⁠​

🚀 What your day-to-day will look like

We’re not a service function — Data Search & Data Insights are core product capabilities at Modash, building products for customers to use. Data Insights is a specialised team in Data Org, and you’ll own high impact projects end-to-end, from idea to launch.

Here’s a typical day:

• Start your day with a short standup
• Heads-down focus time to plan, build, iterate, and launch
• Minimal meetings — maximum ownership

You’ll be working on big, impactful projects like:

• Creating an understanding of the creators location, age, and interests at scale
• Creating systems to extract collaborations between creators and brands from raw social data
• Shaping the future of AI-assisted search, exploring how LLMs and embeddings can enhance search and recommendations.

You won’t be patching pipelines — you’ll be creating data products from scratch that directly impact customers.

👥 The Data Team

At Modash, the Data Insights team isn’t a support function — it’s a core part of the product. You’ll join a growing group of data and backend engineers, working within our broader Data organization.

We work in three closely aligned teams within Data:

• Data Insights — builds the creator and brand-level insight products and APIs (e.g., collaborations, reports, dictionaries, contacts, audience overlap).
• Data Search — owns our search products (including AI Search) end-to-end.
• Data Core — responsible for raw data collection and the foundations of our data platform.

We value autonomy, but we also work closely as a team — through pair programming, fast feedback loops, and shared wins. Everyone is expected to take ownership, but nobody works in isolation.

We’re remote-first, and we also make time to connect IRL through regular team offsites — to have fun, collaborate, and reflect.

⚙️ Our tech stack
