You will work with business teams, application owners, IT and information security to integrate source systems, automate data pipelines and make reliable data available for analytics and reporting.

Your Main Tasks Include

• Design, build and maintain data pipelines from various source systems, using managed ingestion tools such as Fivetran and custom Python where connectors fall short
• Orchestrate and schedule pipelines, handle dependencies, retries and backfills, and manage Snowflake warehouse sizing and compute cost
• Own CI/CD and source control in Azure DevOps: branching strategy, PR reviews, automated deployments and environment promotion (dev, test, prod), with database objects and infrastructure managed as code
• Design and implement dimensional data models (facts, dimensions, star schemas, slowly changing dimensions) across raw, staging, integration and mart layers
• Set up pipeline monitoring, anomaly detection and alerting, and troubleshoot and resolve incidents in production
• Deliver curated, performant datasets and semantic-ready measures so departments can build reports in Power BI

To Succeed In This Role

Being part of the Cadeler community means having a natural interest in and care for the environment, and in our shared mission to speed up the green energy transition. Environmental considerations and the safety of our people and the planet will be a key priority in your daily work.

We are looking for an innovator with a solution-oriented mind, who thrives in a fast-paced environment with many different interfaces.

We think you will be a good match if you have:

• A university degree in a relevant area such as computing, statistics or mathematics
• 3+ years of hands-on experience as a data engineer or data platform engineer
• Proven experience designing, building and operating production data pipelines
• Advanced SQL skills and strong Python skills for data processing, automation and tooling, and experience with dimensional modelling
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake (warehouses, RBAC, storage and compute management, cost control) and the Azure ecosystem
• An understanding of data security, governance and access control principles, as well as ability to define and write logic that transforms raw data into useful, interpretable, business-driven datasets
• Fluent spoken and written English
