Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Vanilla Steel Vollzeit


Your mission

As Steel Expert, you will work closely with our product and data teams to structure and systematize material specifications in a way that software systems and AI models can reliably interpret and process. This is a high-impact role where your domain expertise will directly shape how material data is represented, searched, and standardized across our products. The estimated time of the project is 3 months. During this time you will:

  • Author, curate, and validate material data for flat-rolled carbon steel (coils, sheets, slits)

  • Build a structured taxonomy including: form, grade, coating, mechanical and chemical properties, surface condition and delivery condition

  • Extract, interpret, and standardize data from EN/DIN norms, and customer specs

  • Define and document material equivalencies and grade conversion rules across EN, DIN, ASTM, AISI, JIS and other standards

  • Identify missing or ambiguous data and propose methods for completion or validation

  • Work closely with our data & product team to define data schemas, entity relationships, user interfaces and workflows required to create and maintain the materials knowledge base

  • Provide internal training on steel norms, material properties, and classification principles



Your profile

  • 10+ years of commercial experience in flat-rolled steel (coils, sheets, slit coils)

  • Commercial awareness of how material properties affect buying, selling, and processing decisions (required)

  • Strong knowledge of carbon steel grades, especially across EN/DIN standards

  • Experience interpreting standards such as EN 10111, EN , EN 10130, EN 10346, etc.

  • Understanding of international equivalents (ASTM, AISI, SAE, JIS, GB)

  • Ability to read, interpret, and standardize mechanical and chemical properties from mill certificates and datasheets

  • Comfort working with structured data in Excel, Google Sheets, etc.

  • Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to complex technical data

  • Excellent command of English; German is a strong advantage due to DIN/EN documentation

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience with digital tools, ERP systems, or digital transformation initiatives in metals

  • Exposure to material classification, taxonomy building, or technical data structuring

  • Background from a steel mill or service center, understanding of flat-rolled product flows within trading, distribution, or OEM supply chains



Why us?

  • Ability to create real impact in a global industry at the core of economic development

  • Ownership over a critical project with outcome-driven autonomy

  • Fast-paced yet collaborative culture that values both expertise and teamwork

  • Competitive compensation based on experience

  • Hybrid work format (occasionally remote, predominantly onsite)

  • A beautiful office in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin
