Description
Statista is the world's leading business data platform, providing reliable data and analytics products to empower fact-based decisions globally.

In this role, you will own and build the customer-facing layer of the platform, a portfolio of data intelligence products for hospitals, along with the shared application framework. As a senior technical lead, you will design how data is queried, cached, and visualized, build API layers over platform services, and work with domain experts to translate complex methodology into intuitive products. You will also implement AI-mediated interfaces and provide technical leadership to the engineering team.
Requirements
- Full-Stack TypeScript: Deep production experience across both client (React / Next.js) and server (Node.js using Fastify, Express, or NestJS).
- Advanced Data Visualization: Hands-on experience building custom, interactive visualizations (working with scales, layouts, coordinate systems directly using D3.js alongside Visx, ECharts, or Vega-Lite) and choosing appropriate render targets (SVG, Canvas, WebGL).
- Analytical SQL & Warehouse Caching: Strong analytical SQL skills (window functions, CTEs, multi-level aggregations) and practical experience designing materialization/caching strategies over columnar cloud warehouses.
- Client-Side State & Data Management: Expertise with client-side caching, request coalescing, streaming, and table virtualization (e.g., TanStack Query, SWR).
- Architecture & Abstraction: Proven track record of building reusable abstractions—such as shared API layers, component libraries, or design systems—consumed by other engineers.
- Degree: Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), or a related technical field.
- Experience: 5+ years in full-stack software engineering building data-dense web applications, custom interactive visualizations, and customer-facing products; including a sustained period within one organization seeing a product through build → launch → iteration.
- Mindset: Strong product-focused and UX-driven mindset, with a proven ability to translate complex analytical data models and methodology into intuitive, high-performance visual interfaces.
- Languages: Fluent in English, German is a plus.
- Working Style: Highly structured, user-empathetic, and motivated to collaborate closely with methodology experts, consultants, and cross-functional engineers in an international environment.
