Job Summary
Job description
Fixing finance - for real
Small businesses drive the economy. They build hire innovate and take risks. But when they need financing things still move at the speed of paper. Endless forms. Long approvals. Decisions based on history not logic. We built BridgeFund to fix that. What takes weeks elsewhere happens here in seconds. A small business applies in 3 minutes and our model decides in one. No paperwork. No waiting. No human bottlenecks. Just smart tech making fair decisions fast. That is how we grew 74 percent last year provided over 500 million euros in funding and will close 2025 profitably. Now we are scaling our data capabilities to make our lending platform even smarter.
The systems we build decide who gets funded and when. Its data engineering with real consequences and that makes it very exciting.
Your role as Senior Data Engineer
Youll build and evolve the data platform that powers everything we do from loan decisions and risk models to the dashboards our teams use every day. Youll join a compact high-impact team of data engineers scientists and analysts who keep our pipelines fast our systems reliable and our models explainable. Together youll turn complex data flows into scalable architecture that helps us lend smarter and faster. Youll work closely with Product Engineering and colleagues across the lending journey from decisioning and risk to funding and portfolio management. The data you build directly shapes how businesses get financed and how we keep improving that experience. This is not a maintenance role. Youll design the next generation of our data platform from ingestion pipelines and credit models to MLOps foundations that keep everything running smoothly. Youll set the standards for scalability quality and compliance while giving data scientists and analysts the tools they need to move fast and build with confidence.
