About GoWish, Ønskeskyen ☁️

At GoWish, we’re building the world’s leading wish-list and social shopping platform — a place where you can make a real impact and have fun doing it.

We’re on a mission to reinvent gifting for millions. We win together, driven by curiosity, ownership, and bold ideas that turn into real products. We experiment cross-functionally, push for excellence, and keep things playful as we grow — together.

Team & role overview

The Monetization team sits at the heart of GoWish’s business model. We build, own, and evolve the systems that translate user intent and product interaction into measurable, trustworthy value for our B2B partners. This includes advertiser-facing products, click tracking and attribution systems, and data platforms that power insights, optimization, and decision-making.

Our work directly impacts:

  • revenue generation

  • partner trust

  • strategic business decisions

The works closely with the commercial side of the business with a strong engineering mindset, actively experimenting with new monetization models, data products, and insights to unlock additional growth. We build long-lived systems where correctness, scalability, and thoughtful architecture are foundational - enabling the business to move fast without compromising trust or quality.

As a Data Engineer in the Monetization team, you will play a crucial role in building and evolving GoWish’s commercial insights platform, enabling software engineers, product teams, commercial stakeholders, and external partners to access trusted, low-latency performance data through internal systems and APIs.

This role sits at the intersection of analytics, operational systems, and APIs, where you will design and operate data pipelines and storage solutions that transform large-scale analytical data into production-grade, API-ready datasets - without compromising correctness, reliability, or governance.

This is not a dashboard-focused role. It is data engineering for production systems with real commercial impact.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain near-real-time data pipelines based on BigQuery and streaming sources

  • Model and serve analytical datasets into an operational analytical database (OLAP) to support low-latency APIs

  • Own the end-to-end data flow behind DataHub APIs used by partners and internal teams

  • Work with raw event and tracking data to model, transform, and enrich datasets that enable reliable insights and decision-making

  • Take a leading role in data quality and observability, defining and measuring key quality metrics such as completeness, freshness, and consistency, and implementing governance and monitoring frameworks that surface issues early - before they affect downstream systems, partner trust, or decision-making

  • Implement schema governance, data quality checks, and observability for production data pipelines

  • Optimize pipelines and storage for performance, scalability, and cost

  • Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define data contracts, latency requirements, and access patterns.

What we’re looking for 🌟

We imagine that you have:

  • 3–5+ years of experience in Data Engineering or Data Platform roles

  • Strong experience building and operating production-grade batch and streaming data pipelines (e.g. BigQuery, Dataflow)

  • Hands-on experience with cloud-native infrastructure and containerized workloads on GCP (Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform)

  • Strong SQL skills and experience working in modern analytical ecosystems (BigQuery, dbt, and BI tools)

  • Experience modelling data to derive insights from raw event data, not just moving data from A to B

  • Experience designing and orchestrating data models and pipelines that serve operational systems and APIs

  • A strong ownership mindset with a high bar for data correctness, reliability, and clarity

  • Clear communicator, able to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with high-performance OLAP analytical databases

  • Experience designing or working with Data Clean Rooms

  • Streaming-first architectures and low-latency data processing

  • Experience defining and monitoring data quality metrics tied to business outcomes.

GoWish, Ønskeskyen

GoWish was originally launched in 2015 as a wishlist gimmick by the national Danish-Swedish postal service, PostNord. In 2020, it was spun out by VC Dotcom Capital, and has since the launch of its international app GoWish in 2023 evolved into a global social shopping phenomenon. GoWish is a digital platform for wish lists and inspiration, where users can easily create wishes, as well as collect and share their wish lists and inspiration lists. With a large universe of inspiration, the app is a Social Shopping platform designed to inspire users to discover products, new ideas, and trends – and to add wishes directly in the app or from any online store. Users can create wish lists for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, and any other occasion, and share them with friends and family. In this way, GoWish serves as a social tool that makes it easy to find the perfect gift while avoiding duplicate gifts and unnecessary returns.
