Data Engineer in the Netherlands

You are in the middle of a project and you notice it immediately. It works, but it's not right. Choices that keep changing. Speed over quality. Too much ad-hoc, too little vision. Not because you are difficult. But because you want to be proud of what you build. At Smartworkz, we understand that.

As a Data Engineer, you work on solutions that last. You don't just build pipelines, but you think about the choices behind them. About scalability. About how something will still look logical a year from now. You will be busy with:

• designing and building data platforms (lakehouse / warehouse)

• ETL/ELT pipelines and CI/CD

• batch and streaming solutions

• integrations between systems

You will receive a lot of ownership and play an active role in how solutions are built.

Here you work with people who:

• would rather build something right than fast

• are critical of what they do

• get energy from complexity

• keep each other sharp

There is little noise. Instead, there is focus, ownership and collaboration.

You get energy from substance. From technical depth. From wanting to become better. And you seek an environment where:

• quality is the standard

• choices are thoughtful and explainable

• you are taken seriously as an engineer

• you collaborate with people who make you better

What you won't find here:

• projects without direction

• tech choices "because that's how it grew"

• endless ad-hoc work

• speed over quality

But more importantly:

• substantive, strong work

• room to grow

• making an impact

• an environment that feels right

You work with a modern stack such as Azure, AWS, Databricks, Snowflake, Python, SQL, DBT, Airflow, Terraform, Kubernetes, Kafka and Docker.

You don't have to know everything, as long as you want to learn.

What we would like to see in you:

• HBO/WO working and thinking level

• Experience as a Data Engineer

• Ambition to develop yourself as a consultant

• Good command of Dutch

• Ownership and a strong technical mindset
