Job description

VERTROUWELIJK — Wij voeren een vertrouwelijke zoektocht uit naar een Data Platform Engineering Director die het ontwerp, de bouw en de opschaling van de enterprise data-infrastructuur leidt. Dit is een impactvolle directiefunctie in Amsterdam, hybride werken, voor een senior engineering-leider die de end-to-end dataplatformstrategie in handen neemt — van ingestion en opslag tot realtime analytics en ML-serving-infrastructuur.

In deze rol ontwerpt en schaalt u moderne dataplatformen met technologieën zoals Spark, Kafka, Flink, dbt en cloud-native datadiensten op AWS, Azure of GCP. U leidt de adoptie van data mesh- of data fabric-architecturen, bouwt robuuste kaders voor datagovernance en datakwaliteit, en ontwikkelt self-service analytics-mogelijkheden die product- en businessteams zelfstandig maken. U geeft leiding aan DataOps- en MLOps-pipelines, waarborgt AVG-conforme gegevensverwerking en stuurt op innovatie in realtime streaming, feature stores en data lakehouse-architecturen.

U bouwt en schaalt hoogwaardige data-engineeringteams op, bevordert engineering excellence en platformbetrouwbaarheid, en werkt nauw samen met data science, product en business stakeholders om meetbare, datagedreven resultaten te realiseren. Volledige P&L-verantwoordelijkheid voor de dataplatformportfolio maakt integraal deel uit van dit mandaat.

Dit is een zeldzame kans om het data-engineering-fundament van een data-intensieve organisatie vanuit Amsterdam vorm te geven — een van de toonaangevende tech- en datahubs van Europa.

In this role, you will architect and scale modern data platforms using technologies such as Spark, Kafka, Flink, dbt, and cloud-native data services across AWS, Azure, or GCP. You will lead the adoption of data mesh or data fabric architectures, establish robust data governance and quality frameworks, and build self-service analytics capabilities that empower product and business teams. You will oversee DataOps and MLOps pipelines, ensure GDPR-compliant data handling, and drive innovation in real-time streaming, feature stores, and data lakehouse architectures.

You will build and scale high-performing data engineering teams, champion engineering excellence and platform reliability, and partner with data science, product, and business stakeholders to deliver measurable data-driven outcomes. Full P&L accountability for the data platform portfolio is integral to this mandate.
