Qonto has grown a 60+ data team with Data Engineers, BI, and Data Scientists working together to deliver great dashboards, reports, and data products. Now is the time for Qonto to strengthen its data foundations. Qonto is looking for itsLead Data Engineer to build its next-generation data platform.
Our vision of the Data Platform
The data platform covers three key functions: governance, ingestion and data modelling. You only ingest the data Qontoers need: this is data governance. You rely on a modern data stack to ingest the data: airflow, dbt and snowflake. And you craft nice and discoverable tables and fields to be used widely at Qonto: this is data modelling. You serve all data teams: BI, Data Science, and Data Products.
There are 12 engineers in the data platform team divided into data engineers and analytics engineers.
Leading a data platform team means leading a team of 2 to 8 engineers
👩‍💻🧑‍💻What you will achieve in this role in your first year
- Simplify the data model: during your first year, you will focus on the analytics engineering part. Analytics engineers are building two key inner layers of the data model — the core and reference layers. Then, you will likely switch to leading hybrid teams composed of data and analytics engineers
- Organize your team delivery: how to make sure the core tables you deliver match the needs of data analysts? What prioritisation system to adopt?
- Coach and Grow your team: being a Lead at Qonto means setting your team for success
- Make your team shine inside and outside Qonto: you ingest clean data, transform them into nice documented tables, self-discoverable by every Qontoers. What a success! The incidents have nearly vanished and you feel proud of your team. How about you spread the word and share the key ingredients of your success?
🛠 Tech Stack:
- Our primary language is Python, our core platform consists of a Snowflake data warehouse, fueled primarily by an on site Airflow instance running on a Kubernetes cluster. Data is centralized through custom orchestrated batch jobs, with S3 as our intermediary lake. Data modelization is enabled thanks to an orchestrated dbt repository and quality validation results of a mix of tests using Great Expectations and dbt. We took advantage of ELK forlogging and monitoring as well as Airflow’s internal database.
🤔 What you can expect
- Join Qonto who is winning SME banking in Europe. Qonto is on track to power one million SMEs in 2025.
- Develop dozens of customer-impacting innovative data products ranging from understanding better our clients, to Qonto app killer features
- Work with a top-notch team
- Leverage our values and our culture of continuous improvement to boost your impact as a leader

Before joining Qonto, Jérémie was an associate professor at Telecom Paris and Telecom SudParis. He led data teams for some of France's most reputed digital companies and still advises several deep tech startups. He teaches at Ecole Polytechnique and co-authored over 50 scientific papers.
- What does he bring to the team?
Jérémie defines a clear vision and path to success for our data platform, BI, data science analytics, and data products teams. He ensures they operate efficiently and have a smooth collaboration with other departments at Qonto. He also helps them continuously learn new skills while improving their existing ones and is still very involved in the hiring of his teams.
