Data Engineer

Role description

Welcome to the world of data engineering, where the code is clean and the data is mean! As a Data Engineer, you'll be the mastermind behind the scenes, building the data infrastructure that makes everything else possible. From designing and optimizing databases to creating ETL pipelines and implementing cutting-edge technologies, you'll be the driving force that ensures our data is accurate, organized, and ready to be transformed into actionable insights. So if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the world of data engineering, then we want you on our team!

  • As a Data Engineer, you'll be at the heart of our data team, working alongside BI analysts, data scientists, data stewards, and developers to create the systems and tools we need to process and analyze large amounts of data.
  • You'll be responsible for defining our big data architecture and infrastructure, determining which data to collect, and ensuring that the right data is collected – whether it's structured data from databases and logs, or unstructured data from free-form sources like PDFs and emails. 
  • You'll also be the one responsible for transforming our data, organizing it, and cleaning it, so that our data analysts and scientists can use it to develop and monitor KPIs in a scalable manner.

We're looking for a data fanatic who:

  • Has a deep understanding of big data infrastructure, ETL tools, data modeling, and computing platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. 
  • Has a strong command of SQL and experience working with Hadoop and Spark. Bonus points if you have experience with machine learning.
  • In addition to their technical expertise, is also innovative, integrative, decisive, and able to advise and engage with stakeholders at all levels. 
  • Is able to work collaboratively with other members of the data team and communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Is fluent in English, Dutch and/or French.

What do we bring to the table?

  • A personalized salary package: we know that everyone has different needs, so you have the chance to supplement your salary with benefits that you need most today. A car, extra vacation days, a leased bike,... the choice is yours thanks to our Flex Income Plan!
  • Personal guidance: we believe in the power of human connections, so we'll assign you a dedicated talent manager who will always have your back. Whether you need support during challenging projects or just a friendly ear to listen, your talent manager is here for you. 
  • Career planning and professional development: our learning and development team is here to help you create your dream career. Think of them as your fairy godparents - but with less bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.
  • Team events: a team that plays together, stays together. From an after work drink to a quiz night, we'll make sure you feel like part of the family (even if you're the weird cousin who knows a lot about ChatGPT).
  • We care, we grow, we recognize: we invest in these 3 pillars in order to build a sustainable career for you. We have lots of initiatives in place to help you stay healthy and happy so that you can take on every challenge that comes your way and feel appreciated. 
  • Challenging projects and an entrepreneurial culture: get ready to flex your muscles on some seriously impressive projects. It's like the Olympics, but without the lycra.
  • Learning from peers: as a technical expert, you will be part of our chapters: vibrant communities filled with colleagues who are passionate about a particular area of expertise. Our chapters are all about promoting learning within your area of expertise - in a fun and informal way!
