Senior Data Engineer

You have extensive experience in setting up data warehouses and the associated components (data factory, storage, transformation)

You have experience with tools such as Databricks, Snowflake, or Azure Data Factory

You have knowledge of infrastructure-as-code and version control (Git)

You have experience with network security and data security within a cloud environment

You have an affinity for batch processing and IoT data ingestion

You are able to mentor a junior colleague and transfer knowledge

You can work independently, but also switch easily between other disciplines within the company

Experience in a similar role (Data Engineer, Cloud Engineer) is a plus

A big plus if you already have knowledge of the greenhouse horticulture sector

You will build the data platform from the ground up, with significant input in tooling and architecture

Room to grow towards a leadership role within the team

You will work on a concrete, impactful problem: optimizing the energy consumption of greenhouses

An insight into a startup: associated financing, subsidies, etc.

Multidisciplinary collaboration: with Sales, Operations, and the R&D team

Unfortunately, we cannot sponsor a residence or work permit, and we assume that you already reside in the Randstad region.

Do you want to build the data platform from the ground up for an ambitious hardware startup that is making greenhouse horticulture more sustainable? As a Senior Data Engineer, you will build and manage our data infrastructure, and mentor a junior Data Analyst/Scientist in setting up reliable, scalable data solutions.

Our product - the Thermeleon Heat Battery - is an innovative day-and-night buffer for greenhouses. It improves the energy efficiency of greenhouses by strategically reusing excess heat during the day-night cycle. This substantially reduces natural gas consumption and provides greater climate uniformity across the greenhouse. In this role, you will build the foundation on which all our data analyses and optimizations (including climate setpoint optimization) rest: from data collection and storage to a reliable, scalable data warehouse. You will work independently, but also contribute ideas about the team's setup and mentor a junior colleague.

You will set up our data warehouse: from data ingestion (data factory) to storage and processing into reliable, tested output

You will build and monitor infrastructure-as-code (version control via Git, deployment, and monitoring)

You will ensure network security and data security - no compromises can be made here

You will set up batch processing and IoT data ingestion

You will make choices in tooling (for example, Databricks, Snowflake, Azure Data Factory) that suit our scale and future plans

You will mentor a junior Data Analyst/Scientist and ensure that knowledge remains secured within the team

You will contribute ideas on translating business requirements into technical requirements

You will lay the foundation for future analyses, including the optimization of climate setpoints

Our office is located in the monumental Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam.
