Data Engineer Bull Enterprise Data Hub

Contract: CDI (Permanent)

Team: Data Platform, BL Advanced Computing (HAQ)

Reports to: Data Platform Lead

Locations: Les Clayes-sous-Bois (Paris) | Angers | Échirolles (Grenoble) | Remote hybrid (up to 3 days/week WFH)

The Role

We are building the Bull Enterprise Data Hub a centralized data platform that consolidates product data across 8+ source systems (SAP, Hotspot, Windchill) into a unified, versioned, API-first platform.

The platform powers:

HPCCAT product catalog for HPC, AI & Quantum

Executive dashboards GATE program KPIs, S&OP forecast, roadmap views

Machine-to-machine integrations REST APIs consumed by quoting, digital twin, and external tools

You will join a small, high-impact team (3 people) and own the data engineering layer: ingestion pipelines, transformation models, data quality, and warehouse infrastructure.

What You'll Do

Build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest data from SAP, HotSpot, vendor feeds, and internal databases

Design and implement dbt transformation models (staging intermediate marts) on PostgreSQL and DuckDB

Ensure data quality implement tests, monitoring, anomaly detection, and reconciliation with source systems

Develop and extend the REST API (FastAPI/Python) for data access by downstream applications

Manage infrastructure Docker Compose, PostgreSQL 16, Alembic migrations, CI/CD

Collaborate with Product Managers to understand data needs and translate them into reliable data models

Document data models, lineage, and operational runbooks
