About the Team
Bynder’s Platform Services team provides advanced, customer-specific technical services, but we're not a product development team. We don’t build new features; instead, we operate as a second-line engineering support team that delivers custom, data-driven solutions at the request of our clients and internal stakeholders.
We sit at the intersection between Customer Success, Onboarding, and Product Development teams. Our role is to understand both the technical architecture of the Bynder platform and the business needs of our clients, translating between the two. This means we need engineers who not only have strong technical expertise but also excellent communication skills to explain complex concepts clearly to non-technical users, while collaborating effectively with developers and other stakeholders.

Working with data migrations involving AWS S3 buckets and SFTP setups.
Extracting and transforming data from Bynder databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL) to deliver analytics and reports.
Applying metadata tagging and supporting digital asset import/export workflows.
Communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, making complex concepts accessible and actionable.
Proactively identifying opportunities to automate and streamline manual work.
Supporting knowledge sharing during weekly standups and confluence documentation to help the team scale its impact.

Familiarity with version control (Git) and containerization tools (Docker).
Understanding of APIs, webhooks, and integration patterns.
Experience or knowledge in AI/ML is a big plus, especially in automating or enhancing repetitive data workflows and processes.
Soft Skills:
Excellent verbal and written communication in English, able to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders clearly and effectively.
