Data Engineer

About us

Entravel is a member’s club for discounted luxury travel and whitelabel hotel platform provider focusing on the crypto industry, backed by VCs and prominent European founders. Our hotel product is incredibly strong; we offer more than one million properties, and our rates are amongst the lowest in the world. In fact, on most 5* hotels you won’t find a platform with lower rates than Entravel.

Your role

We are looking for a Data Engineer to automate and scale high-volume data workflows, with a strong focus on hotel and room mapping across multiple data sources.
This is an ownership-heavy role: you will take full responsibility for turning a manual, repetitive process into a reliable, scalable system and ensuring it runs correctly in production.

What you’ll do

• Own the end-to-end automation of hotel and room mapping workflows;
• Take responsibility for delivery, correctness, and reliability of the mapping outputs;
• Design and build data pipelines (ingestion → transformation → output);
• Translate manual mapping logic into scalable systems;
• Implement rule-based and fuzzy matching techniques for entity resolution;
• Leverage LLMs to improve mapping accuracy, classification, and edge-case handling;
• Normalize and clean inconsistent, messy real-world data;
• Build monitoring, validation, and retry mechanisms;
• Continuously improve pipeline performance and mapping accuracy.

Ownership & responsibility

• You own the mapping system in production;
• You are responsible for data quality, accuracy, and failure handling;
• You proactively identify gaps, edge cases, and inefficiencies;
• You define and evolve the mapping logic and data model;
• You ensure issues are detected, debugged, and resolved quickly;
• You drive the reduction of manual work and operational overhead.

What we’re looking for

• 3–6 years of experience in data engineering or similar roles;
• Strong Python and SQL;
• Experience building pipelines from scratch;
• Experience working with messy, third-party, or unstructured data;
• Experience with entity matching / deduplication / normalization;
• Hands-on experience using LLMs in production workflows;

Strong sense of ownership: you take responsibility for outcomes.

Nice to have

• Experience with Rust for performance-critical components;
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (e.g. Airflow or similar);
• Experience with embeddings, vector search, or semantic matching;
• Background in travel, hospitality, or similar domains.

What success looks like

• Clear ownership of the mapping domain from day one;
• Significant reduction in manual work within the first 1–2 months;
• Stable, reliable pipelines running in production;
• Measurable improvement in mapping accuracy over time;
• Fast resolution of issues and continuous system improvements.

We offer

• Work schedule: full-time;
• Duration of the cooperation: Long-term;
• Flexible Start: Set your own comfortable working hours that accommodate your individual needs.
• Competitive Salary: High standards of remuneration reflecting your contribution and skills.
• Vacation: Enjoy 22 days of vacation for full rejuvenation and life enjoyment.
• Sick Leave: Ensure your health with 15 days of sick leave per year.
• Special Leave Cases: Support for significant life events such as weddings, childbirth, or the loss of a close family member.
