Description du poste

As an Analytics Engineer, you are working within a cross‑functional team where you support data engineers, data analysts, and business stakeholders by delivering analytics‑ready data. Within this role, you are an expert in developing data models, executing transformations, and understanding the business users to deliver data that can directly be used in reporting.

To do this effectively, you combine strong technical skills with a solid understanding of foundational data concepts, enabling efficient collaboration with data engineers. At the same time, you’re able to communicate clearly with business stakeholders — asking the right questions, challenging requirements when needed, and translating business needs into scalable data solutions.

Dataroots brings together experts across three key domains: AI, data engineering, and data strategy & analytics. This allows us to cover the entire data lifecycle and deliver end‑to‑end solutions to our clients. As part of this setup, you’ll not only work within your own area of expertise, but also have direct access to colleagues from other domains. This creates a strong learning environment where knowledge is continuously shared, and you can rely on the support and insights of others to tackle complex challenges and grow in your role.

What you can expect at Dataroots?

Dataroots, a vibrant and dynamic data consulting company founded in 2016, stands out with its unique expertise in the data realm. We are committed to nurturing a culture that prioritises team well‑being, diversity, knowledge sharing, and outstanding customer experiences, which has fuelled our sustained and robust growth. As an Analytics Engineer at Dataroots, you'll be an essential part of our mission, playing a key role in developing and implementing data‑driven solutions for our clients.

Job requirements

• Analytical & solution‑oriented mindset: You approach challenges with a structured and pragmatic mindset, finding effective solutions while balancing best practices with real‑world constraints.
• Strong communication skills: You can present yourself fluently, process information efficiently, and effectively convey your point. You adapt your message to different audiences, ensuring clarity for business stakeholders and technical depth where needed.
• Consulting mindset & stakeholder collaboration: As a consultant, you’re a trusted partner who builds strong client relationships by understanding their needs and speaking their language (Dutch and/or French & English required). You advise customers on embracing analytics engineering in their data teams and collaborate with stakeholders to deliver game‑changing insights.
• Agility & teamwork: You thrive in agile environments, value teamwork at every step of a project, and enjoy working closely with cross‑functional teams.
• Proactive & curious: You stay up to date with the latest technologies, business, financial, operational, and IT processes, and actively seek opportunities to drive initiatives and contribute to internal improvements.
• Continuous learning & knowledge sharing: You embrace a growth mindset, regularly reflecting on past projects, sharing lessons learned, and refining your consulting approach. You’re eager to learn and share knowledge through internal sessions, documentation, or informal exchanges.
• You have 3+ years of experience where you were involved in a data project — meaning you have an affinity with data and are familiar with modern data tools.
• You are fluent in SQL and comfortable reading Python scripts, or at least navigating through them when needed. Experience with dbt and BI tooling is a big plus.
• You know how to apply various data modelling concepts and work with stakeholders to design the right data model for their needs.
• You’re familiar with different cloud vendors and their services, and you know what to consider when provisioning resources.
• You understand why CI/CD plays a key role in developing data resources, and you know your way around Git commands to support version control and collaboration.

The Offer

• An attractive salary with extralegal benefits, including:
• Mobility budget or a company car with fuel/charging card
• Hospitalization and group insurance
• High‑end laptop
• Smartphone with subscription
• Substantial amount of holidays
• Diverse and welcoming work environment, where you’ll collaborate & unwind with colleagues from different cultures and disciplines. The organization of both fun & professional events and initiatives is actively encouraged and supported.
• A training budget for individual and team learning opportunities.
• Tons of team‑building events and sports initiatives to stay connected and unwind.

Our main offices are in Leuven and Ghent, with co‑working spaces in Charleroi and Antwerp. These locations are always available for brainstorming sessions or team events. As a Dataroots expert, much work can be performed remotely, but you will most likely also visit our clients on‑site.
