Your strengths. Our combined impact.

We call our work ‘demonstrating impact’. In Audit & Assurance too, Grant Thornton is in the top 10 audit firms in Germany. We are one of the most successful firms to go to for mid-market companies, start-ups and the DAX. Our team doesn’t take a routine approach. It combines expert knowledge, up-to-date insights and a passion for the job to create new ways of thinking – as well as outstanding solutions for our clients.

We’re growing. To complement our team we are looking for a Senior Cloud Solutions Architect / Data Engineer (m/f/x) in the field Audit & Assurance to join our team as soon as possible. In this business unit, we offer a broad range of services which includes a portfolio of data science methodologies and data engineering technologies. Our business focuses on holistic and tailor-made solutions for our clients - and not abstract analyses. We cover a wide range of topics when it comes to data engineering, descriptive data analytics such as BI and process mining and advanced machine learning.

Professional strengths that set you apart.
