Job description

You will oversee the entire data lifecycle, ensuring information is not only accessible but also reliable and actionable. Your key responsibilities will include:

  • End-to-End Solution Design: Participating in the full architectural journey, from initial data acquisition to final exploitation, empowering business departments to make data-driven decisions.
  • Data Integration: Identifying, collecting, and weaving together diverse datasets to solve critical business and operational problems.
  • Quality & Governance: Acting as a guardian of data integrity by implementing monitoring tools and ensuring strict adherence to governance standards.
  • Bridging the Gap: Translating boardroom ambitions into clear, technical data rules, effectively connecting business needs with server-room reality.
  • Industrialisation: Scaling your achievements through robust deployment practices, including unit, integration, and non-regression testing.

Requirements

You are a technophile who thrives on solving puzzles and staying ahead of the curve. To succeed in this role, you should bring:

  • Technical Expertise: Proficiency in SQL and at least one object-oriented language (Python, Java, or Scala).
  • Framework Knowledge: Experience with distributed computing frameworks and a solid grasp of both relational and non-relational modelling.
  • DevOps Mindset: A strong understanding of continuous integration tools such as Git, JUnit, SonarQube, or Jenkins.
  • Cloud & Big Data: Practical experience with a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) or a Big Data distribution (Hortonworks, Cloudera, Datastax).

  • Education & Experience: You hold a degree from an engineering school or university and have at least 3 years of experience working on large-scale data projects.
  • Soft Skills: Proactive, rigorous, and comfortable working autonomously, you know when to dive into the details and when to step back to see the bigger picture.
  • Linguistic Versatility: As this role serves our Benelux clients, fluency in French, Dutch, and English (both written and spoken) is essential.
