Anisha
Senior BI Engineer
- What has been a project, moment or experience that was crucial to your personal growth at Ratepay?
Monitoring key risk metrics is crucial to Ratepay’s business performance. The data team worked together to enable reporting on Risk KPIs and automated this process so that tracking these KPIs has become a much more efficient process. The Risk Management team is now able to use this information to gain better insights into these key metrics. - What do you particularly like about Ratepay?
Relocating from another country can be very challenging especially when you are new to the country and unfamiliar with the language. Ratepay was very supportive and made the relocating process much smoother for me. At Ratepay, I have had the opportunity to work with a lot of smart and inspiring people, who made me feel welcome from day one and it has been a fun ride ever since. - Why is your team looking for more colleagues?
The demand for data-driven insights has been increasing steadily. Our team has been working with stakeholders across various departments to enable them to get a better picture of their business processes and key KPIs. As Ratepay grows, we need more people on board to meet this ever-growing demand for data.

We are creating scalable solutions to ensure Ratepay’s future growth. Interacting with colleagues from different teams always results in a learning moment, be it technical or cultural.

The alignment phase is always filled with interesting moments. - What do you particularly like about Ratepay?
Working with such diverse colleagues, diverse also in the sense of cultural and professional backgrounds. It’s great to be exposed to different ways of thinking. - Why is your team looking for more colleagues?
We would like to fully utilize the data at our disposable to contribute to Ratepay’s growth. We believe that a proficient use of data would unlock new possibilities for Ratepay.
Julia
Sachbearbeiterin Consumer Risk
- What has been a project, moment or experience that was crucial to your personal growth at Ratepay?
I am particularly proud of my personal development, both personally and professionally. At Ratepay, I now feel that I have finally arrived where I want to be. Tracking down and stopping fraudsters is meaningful and very motivating work for me. In the months I've been with Ratepay, I've learned an incredible amount and grown with each new task. Fraud screening was a new and exciting field for me. I found the initial training super, even if it was only online due to the Corona situation. I felt welcome and integrated into the team from day one. - What do you like most about Ratepay?
Definitely the wonderful people at Ratepay. The team I work in alone is unique, colorful, human, cool and fun. And I've also had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people across other teams, as well. What I also like about Ratepay is that appreciation plays an important role and great importance is attached to ensuring that colleagues feel comfortable and can develop freely. I also really appreciate the corporate culture here. For example, the opportunity to work in a mobile office or to be able to organize my working hours flexibly. Communication is open and transparent and always at eye level. - Why is your team looking for more colleagues?
The big issue we are working on in Consumer Risk is to recognize fraud patterns even better and faster in order to be able to detect as many fraudsters as possible. To do this, we can never have enough good noses in our team. We are the right place for you if you want a varied and exciting working day in a company where you can develop freely and are offered a lot at the same time.
Stephan
Head of Data
- What has been a project, moment or experience that was crucial to your personal growth at Ratepay?
I started as a Database Administrator (DBA) at Ratepay. After a year, I took over the data warehouse team and built a DBA team. Today I am Head of Data. - What do you particularly like about Ratepay?
The many opportunities for personal development, the complexity of the subject matter and, above all, the colleagues. - Why is your team looking for more colleagues?
The world has never changed as fast as it does today and it will never change as slowly as it does today. Ratepay's need for data and insights is increasing daily, while technological development is driven by a multitude of flux compensators (at 1.21 gigawatts). To keep up with our demands for high quality, we need more support and are looking for more team members.
What there is to know about this department:
DATA & ANALYTICS
The Brain of Ratepay
Anyone who wants to know how healthy Ratepay is, how it is doing in terms of KPIs such as growth rate, fraud rate and even contribution margin or who generally needs data on a specific question has come to the right place with the Data & Analytics team. We look after the processing and management of all data that are critical to the business and we provide the management, our colleagues and even some external stakeholders with figures, data and visual reports, so that they can make fact-based decisions.
Top Quality: a Must
What is particularly important to us here? Quality. And sustainability. Our data models need to be able to keep up with technological change, even in the future. To this end, we are currently working on pioneering cloud models, implementing a data lake with which we can analyse large volumes of data even more efficiently, and ensuring that our data platform always has the best possible tools.
Agile & Friendly
The same as for our technology is also true when it comes to work organisation: we use agile working with Kanban. Development is our first priority and it is firmly planned every week. As well as educational leave plus additional days for training, we are able for example to try out new technologies and concepts during slack time. As a collaborative team, we stick together and support one another with all questions and problems that arise.
Data Lovers Wanted!
You will fit in here if you enjoy complex topics and issues, if you are passionate about generating knowledge, if you are generally agile and come with a healthy dose of creativity. Other than that: a fit with the team takes precedence over a technical fit.
