About the role
At Bees & Bears , we're a Climate FinTech on a mission to unlock capital for the energy transition. We believe finance is the key to accelerating the shift toward a sustainable future. The challenge ahead is massive: by 2050, the world needs to invest €150 trillion (!) to reach climate neutrality. 65% of this investment will need to be financed through loans. Our mission is to channel capital into the sustainable economy - to accelerate the transition and make the world greener. What we do: We work closely with installers of climate hardware such as solar systems, energy storage, and heat pumps - enabling their customers to finance installations easily through monthly installments . Our platform provides the technical and financial foundation to make this happen. In doing so, we're actively accelerating the energy transition - for households, for our partners, and for the planet. We've recently secured €500 million in funding commitments to green 25,000 households over the next two years. Prior to that, we raised two funding rounds backed by several renowned VCs - and we've been growing rapidly ever since.Sound like the perfect job for you?

- Build and maintain robust data pipelines across all core systems
- Design and implement our company data warehouse from the ground up
- Integrate data from internal systems, APIs, and third-party tools
- Ensure data reliability, consistency, and accessibility across the company
- Enable teams with clean, structured data for faster and better decision-making
- Define data ownership, naming conventions, and quality standards that scale
Requirements
- Your Talent
- Strong SQL and Python skills - you're genuinely comfortable writing complex queries and automating data workflows
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines end to end
- Experience with data warehouse setup and data modeling
- Proven ability to work independently and build systems from scratch
- Strong preference:
- Experience with modern data stack tools such as dbt, Airflow, Snowflake, or BigQuery
