Job description

The Job

As a Data Platform Engineer, you are the backbone of data ecosystems. You create scalable, resilient platforms that empower data engineers, analysts, and scientists to turn raw data into meaningful insights fast, safely and with confidence

You take ownership of the underlying infrastructure, tooling, and standards that make data work at scale, balancing performance, cost and reliability. From cloud resources and orchestration to data governance and observability. You ensure the platform is robust today and ready for tomorrow’s use cases, enabling teams to focus on creating value from data rather than managing complex.

At Dataroots, our mission is to innovate, design, and deliver robust data solutions and platforms for a variety of sectors. Our growing team operates out of Leuven and Ghent, where our dedicated in-house data & AI specialists apply state-of-the-art methodologies to optimize and transform our clients' business processes. Our strong emphasis on DataOps and MLOps means we build solutions that are not only intelligent but also production-ready, offering clients a solid foundation to make data-driven decisions with confidence.
