Functieomschrijving

We believe that the Netherlands should become more sustainable and innovative. Fortunately, there are many entrepreneurs with strong plans for the future.

About The Role

As a data engineer you will help our development team with (re)building our data infrastructure, which will be the single source of trust for advanced analytics, AI integrations, reporting and BI.

The Data & AI team is still growing and currently consists of eight team members including a Team Lead, a Data Scientist, a Data Engineer, a BI Analyst, a PowerBI Developer, an AI Integration Manager and two Working Students.

• Develop and operate reliable ELT/ETL pipelines on our Azure and Databricks stack.
• Shape the data architecture together with the team.
• Embed data governance in practice — lineage, quality, and clear business ownership — so the data layer is genuinely trusted.
• Mentoring junior/medior peers.
