Market research is the original data driven business. Incubated and spun-off from a university, we have earned the trust of the world´s biggest companies and leading brands - for more than 80 years. Today, everything at GfK starts and ends with Data and Science
We are proud of our heritage – and our future: Currently we’re on a transformational journey from a traditional market research company to a trusted provider of prescriptive data analytics powered by cutting edge technology. In our Technology & Data organization, we are responsible for the entire lifecycle of our data-driven products.
You still think Market Research is about questionnaires aggregated with Excel?
Wrong! Our Business Intelligence (BI) team processes, analyzes and aggregates data at petabyte-scale in our own high performance data processing environments and makes the data accessible for our highly interactive reporting solutions.
The Business Intelligence Engineering Team owns the responsibility to ensure a reliable on-time data delivery for our client facing reporting solutions.
This is only possible with extraordinary people.
And that’s why we are looking for YOU! A passionate Java Fullstack Software Engineer (m/f/d) with excellent database knowhow
