Job description

Are you ready to join the exciting journey of TikTak, leading car solution provider that revolutionizes the mobility habit of mega urbanites?

TikTak is Turkey's youngest and fastest-growing car rental & sharing company.

We know the city is full of opportunity, full of excitement, full of life.

For this reason; We are highlighting TikTak as a solution resource in order not to miss a moment in this wide experience pool. We are the new generation transportation brand for the new generation of urban residents, and we are a reason for the city to be experienced to the fullest. TikTak is the shortest way to get from home to work, from campus to concert.

The city is bustling and lively, just like us. In this direction, our goal is to be an important part of daily mobility in city life.

Our goal is also about freedom, innovation, and dynamism. Our work environment is a dynamic environment that supports innovation, where everyone can contribute with their ideas.

We are looking for a Data Engineer for our rapidly growing teams in this environment.

Your playground as a Data Engineer at TikTak


  • Architecting TikTak's data platform end-to-end — ingestion, warehouse, transformation, and the self-service layer on top
  • Designing and owning the semantic / metrics layer — the single source of truth for every KPI in the company
  • Building the self-service BI foundation that lets business teams answer their own questions with data they trust
  • Setting the standards: data modeling, dimensional design, testing, CI/CD, governance — the playbook the whole team runs on
  • Building scalable pipelines with dbt, Airflow, and the modern data stack on AWS (S3, Redshift, Glue, Lambda)
  • Optimizing for performance and cost at scale on Redshift / PostgreSQL
  • Partnering directly with leadership and business units to turn strategy into data infrastructure
  • Mentoring engineers and analysts as the platform — and the team — scales

Our game-changer Data Engineer profile at TikTak


  • 7+ years in data / analytics engineering, including building a data platform from the ground up
  • Deep SQL and Python — you've shipped production-grade data systems, not just written queries
  • Expert with the modern data stack: dbt (including the semantic/metrics layer), Airflow, and a cloud warehouse
  • Strong AWS experience (S3, Redshift, Glue, Lambda, EC2)
  • Mastery of data modeling and dimensional design — with strong opinions on doing it right
  • You've built or owned self-service / semantic layers that non-technical teams actually use
  • You think in reliability, scalability, and cost — and you make architectural trade-offs deliberately
  • You translate business strategy into technical direction, and you bring others along with you
  • Ability to translate business requirements into robust, well-documented data solutions.
