Job description

We're migrating our entire legacy data platform (Redshift, stored procedures, manual pipelines) to a modern lakehouse architecture built on Databricks and dbt. You'll play a key role in re-engineering rigid pipelines into decentralized data products, using data contracts, dimensional modeling, and medallion-layer patterns.

• Visible work: You'll work in a multi-disciplinary team where you will be involved from the start of a project until the delivery of the insight. Your work is crucial to the team as all the insights, visualizations, algorithms are depending on the modeled data.

• Challenge: As a Data Engineer you have a vision how to deliver quality products. You will focus on doing it right rather than as fast as possible.

• Good atmosphere: You work with colleagues who dare to seize opportunities and help each other move forward.

• Freedom: You'll work from home and at a flex spot in our bustling, state-of-the-art office in the historic Stations post building (next to Holland Spoor station).

• Development Opportunities: You will have plenty of opportunities to follow training programs and grow into other positions or departments.

• Transition: We are in the middle of a transition to move to DBT with Databricks. You help shape this new data foundation.
