Job summary

Inner Circle in Amsterdam is seeking a Senior Data Platform Engineer to own and run the data platform that fuels our product database, app events, attribution and payments. You’ll shape architecture, tooling, standards, and the roadmap, backed by reasoning your manager can follow.

This role drives data quality, reliability, and scalable pipelines in a company moving toward AI-native solutions. Office in Amsterdam with hybrid work.

Qualifications

• Senior experience owning a production data platform end to end.
• Deep hands-on Snowflake, dbt modelling, and confidence with Dagster or a comparable orchestrator.
• You use AI tooling seriously in your own work and have a view on where it helps and where it doesn't.
• Experience with building APIs using Python.
• Comfortable in AWS; infrastructure your pipelines run on isn't a black box to you.
• You've integrated third-party sources before: event tracking, attribution, payment and subscription data.
• You handle deduplication, late-arriving data, timezones and attribution windows deliberately, not reactively.
• You form a view, state it, and own the outcome and can explain the tradeoff to a non-data manager.
• You trace problems to root cause, raise issues early, write things down, and follow through.

Responsibilities

• Own the direction of the data platform and shape its roadmap.
• Build and run end-to-end data pipelines end-to-end.
• Engineer for correctness with robust tests and idempotent models.
• Set the engineering standards for the data stack, with CI and clean code practices.
• Be the data counterpart the rest of the company can rely on: data powers screening, matching, marketing, subscriptions and AI tooling.
