YOUR IMPACT

The Data Engineer provides customer-facing technical enablement during the implementation of EQS compliance solutions. Working with customer IT teams, the role guides and validates supported HR data integrations and user provisioning, single sign-on (SSO), API connectivity, and custom-domain or email configuration. The focus is on helping customers understand prerequisites, complete customer-owned technical setup, troubleshoot issues, and validate readiness for go-live - rather than leading data migrations or building bespoke integrations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery and enablement sessions with customer IT teams, clarifying supported methods, prerequisites, required attributes, dependencies, and responsibilities.
• Guide customers through SSO setup and troubleshooting using SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC), including identity-provider configuration, metadata, certificates, claims/attributes, and login validation.
• Support HR data integration and user provisioning through supported methods such as SCIM, SFTP, and JSON API; advise on data requirements, mapping, validation, testing, and cutover readiness.
• Assist customers with API-based integrations by explaining available endpoints, authentication, request/response behavior, and troubleshooting steps; support testing and validation of customer-led integrations.
• Provide technical guidance for supported custom domains and email delivery configurations, including relevant DNS records, SMTP, and email authentication settings where applicable.
• Troubleshoot implementation-related technical issues, document findings, and coordinate with internal technical teams when product support or escalation is needed.
• Support Solution Consultants during the sales process with technical discovery, integration feasibility, and solution guidance; work closely with Implementation Managers and Project Managers on active implementation projects.
• Create reusable technical setup guidance, checklists, and documentation; share knowledge with other Data Engineers and implementation teams.
• Clarify the boundary between standard technical enablement and custom development or non-standard integrations that require separate scoping.

THIS IS YOU

Required Qualifications

• 2-5 years of experience in customer-facing technical implementation, SaaS integrations, identity and access management, or a related technical consulting role.
• Hands-on experience configuring, testing, or troubleshooting SSO using SAML 2.0 and OIDC, with familiarity with identity platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta.
• Working knowledge of identity and user provisioning concepts, including HR data feeds and common integration methods such as SCIM, SFTP, or APIs.
• Understanding of REST APIs, common authentication methods, and structured data formats (for example, JSON and CSV).
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills, with the ability to guide customer IT stakeholders through technical setup without taking ownership of their systems.
• Fluency in both English (C1) and German (C1), written and spoken; ability to work in the required hybrid office model.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with identity governance or provisioning platforms such as SailPoint, and deeper familiarity with Microsoft Entra ID or Okta.
• Experience with SaaS HR data integration and provisioning solutions.
• Familiarity with API testing tools such as Postman for validating requests, authentication, and responses.
• Knowledge of DNS, SMTP, custom/sender-domain configuration, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and related certificate or email-delivery troubleshooting.
• Awareness of SQL, Python, or similar scripting/query languages for investigating integration or data issues; advanced coding is not required.
• Practical use of approved AI-assisted tools for technical investigation, documentation, or workflow improvement, with careful output validation and appropriate protection of customer data.
