Data Berlin #19
New year, new opportunities!
Data Berlin community, happy new year! 🎉✨
We hope 2026 has started on the right foot, maybe with new goals, fresh energy, or simply the motivation to finally clean up that old notebook (or repo 👀).
The beginning of the year is always a special moment: a good time to reflect, set intentions, and explore what’s next, whether that means a new role, a new skill, or new people to connect with.
That’s why we’re kicking off the year with Data Berlin #19: a fresh selection of data jobs across Berlin & Europe, covering Analytics, Data Engineering, AI/ML, and Data Analysis.
You’ll also find an upcoming community meetup, perfect if you want to learn, meet new people, and start the year surrounded by data-minded humans.
Take a look, share with friends, and don’t hesitate to apply: you never know where the next opportunity might lead 🚀
