Then it's time to get to your engineering work, after you have quick stand-up with the team. As you will be at least coding 50% of the time that day, you can focus on our key project to migrate our Python ETL code from Azure Batch accounts to Azure Databricks. You make sure the code aligns with best practices, optimize performance and build robust error handling. In the late afternoon you have a brainstorming about the opportunities to automate monitoring and data quality checks for other projects, and to identify a possible implementation of a ML model into production that a data scientist has created. At the end of the day, as it happens to be Thursday, you join the team for a well-earned drink! Objectives and characteristics of the role As a Data Engineer at MSF, you will be responsible for designing, creating and maintaining the data processing pipeline in our Azure-based Central Data Hub (CDH). You set up connections to different sources , are not afraid to dive into the complex nesting of an API response and fancy the creation of a scalable, reusable framework for data ingestion. You'll play a pivotal role in the migration to Databricks, working alongside our data platform engineer for infrastructure and analytics engineers for data modelling. You will be part of our journey towards more (advanced) analytics and data democratisation; empowering the MSF-wide movement to do their own reporting and analytics through a Self-Service BI approach. You take colleagues along and introduce them to best practices with respect to data ingestion, SQL optimization and data modelling. You are part of the Data & Analytics team (5 colleagues) and will work closely together with IT architects, AI developers, data security and privacy officers and our various stakeholders and data platform users all across MSF. Main Responsibilities * Design, build, and maintain reliable, reusable and scalable data pipelines feeding the Central Data Hub from a wide array of internal databases and external sources (including APIs) * Ensure data quality, reliability, performance, monitoring, and documentation of pipelines and datasets * Manage data orchestration within the central data hub to ensure timely data availability * Translate business requirements from various MSF departments into technical designs for reliable and scalable pipelines; * Support our move to advanced analytics by helping to operationalize and monitor machine learning models in production * Implement and support data quality controls in line with agreed standards and governance frameworks * Since Azure is a rapidly changing world, you will learn and stay up-to-date in the latest tools and services in the Azure ecosystem; * Support analytics engineers and (departmental/regional) BI Analysts in using the Central Data Hub ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Destigmatizing the Workplace: Building Real Inclusion](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1492-destigmatizing-the-workplace-building-real-inclusion) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Empowering Retail Through Applied Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/976-empowering-retail-through-applied-machine-learning) - [The 2026 Talent Pivot: Essential Trends for an Evolving Workforce](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100098-the-2026-talent-pivot-essential-trends-for-an-evolving-workforce) ## Related Articles - [How to land a developer job in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/36-how-to-land-a-developer-job-in-amsterdam) - [How to Find Tech Jobs in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/279-how-to-find-tech-jobs-in-amsterdam) - [Best Companies in the Netherlands: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/193-best-companies-in-the-netherlands-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Software Developer Salary in The Netherlands [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/217-software-developer-salary-in-the-netherlands-2023) - [The Netherlands – Europe’s powerhouse for software development?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/31-the-netherlands-europe-s-powerhouse-for-software-development) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
