Job description

  • You support the design of our multi-user data and analysis platform, in particular the 'storage layer' component (including the 'data lake', which forms the foundation of the data platform).
  • You also support interactions with other components ('ingestion layer', 'core systems', 'front-end systems', etc.).
  • You specialize in data and analytics platforms, with expertise in lakehouse architectures, Kubernetes-based data science environments, open source ecosystems and European digital sovereignty initiatives.
  • You have experience in designing scalable, interoperable, secure (GDPR, NIS2) and production-oriented platforms using technologies such as PostgreSQL, MinIO, OpenStack, Apache, Kubernetes, Docker, Spark, Onyxia, and modern governance and metadata frameworks.
  • You bridge the gap between organizational architecture and detailed technical implementation. You collaborate with internal departments, technical teams, and external partners to find an integrated and robust solution.

Requirements

  • At least 10 years of experience:
  • In data platforms, data engineering, solution architecture, data storage, big data ecosystems, data modeling, and database technologies;
  • Design and implementation of modern data and analytics platforms, in lakehouse architectures, open-source ecosystems (without single-vendor lock-in), and European digital sovereignty initiatives.

Expertise in:

  • Data platform architecture,
  • Data ingestion, data lakes, data warehousing, ETL/ELT pipelines.
  • Technical expertise in the selection, implementation, and maintenance of:
  • Storage (e.g., MinIO, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, S3-compatible object storage)
  • Data processing (e.g., Apache ecosystem, Iceberg, Spark, dbt)
  • Containers and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Helm)
  • Security (e.g., Keycloak, Vault)
  • Infrastructure (e.g., Terraform, OpenStack)
  • Management and version control (e.g., open projects, JIRA, GitHub, GitLab)
  • [Strength] Sovereign cloud stack (e.g., OVHcloud, Hetzner, Scaleway)

Skills

  • Data Platform Engineer
  • Application management of database (SQL) environments
  • Solution architecture
