## Description

Data Engineering & pipelines Je ontwikkelt en onderhoudt betrouwbare ETL/ELT-datapipelines (o.a. met Airbyte) en integreert databronnen zoals Salesforce, HubSpot, Exact, GA4 en externe API's. Je bouwt schaalbare batch- en streamingprocessen en optimaliseert deze op performance, betrouwbaarheid en kosten.

Cloud Platform & infrastructuur (GCP) Je ontwerpt, rolt uit en beheert GCP-infrastructuur (BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Dataflow/Dataproc, Cloud Composer, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, GKE, Compute Engine). Daarnaast integreer je Vertex AI voor AI/ML use cases, pas je best practices toe voor cloud security/IAM en richt je monitoring, alerting en kostenbeheersing (FinOps) in.

Data Quality & Reliability Je implementeert data quality frameworks, validatieregels en geautomatiseerde tests. Je monitort datakwaliteit, beschikbaarheid en pipeline health, richt logging en observability in, en voert root cause analyses uit bij dataincidenten.

Data Modeling, Governance & AI Readiness Je bouwt en onderhoudt datamodellen (zoals dimensional modeling en data vault-structuren) en bewaakt dataconsistentie en lineage via GCP Data Catalog / Dataplex. Je ondersteunt data governance, auditability, compliance en privacy-vereisten, en levert AI-ready datasets op.
