By combining advanced technologies with a client-focused approach, we empower organizations to make data-driven decisions and achieve measurable business outcomes.

About the Role:

As we grow rapidly, we regularly rely on freelance data engineers to help deliver reliable services to our clients. In this role, you’ll help execute data architecture plans and fully leverage cloud solutions. You will work on building and optimizing data pipelines, developing data models, and training clients and colleagues.

Your Key Responsibilities:
  • Partner directly with clients to understand their needs and deliver tailored data architectures that drive business outcomes.
  • Develop and optimize data workflows for ingestion, transformation, and processing using Databricks.
  • Design and manage data storage, processing, and orchestration solutions on Azure, AWS, or GCP with Databricks as the core technology.
  • Optimize data processing for performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Lead and mentor teams, delegating tasks effectively to ensure successful project execution.
  • Architect, develop, and maintain robust data pipelines and infrastructure to meet client demands.
  • Collaborate closely with client teams, including product managers, data engineers, analysts, and scientists.
  • Maintain thorough documentation of architecture and transformations, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

What We're Looking For:
  • Experience: At least 5 years of experience in the data engineering field.
  • Technical Skills: Strong understanding of data warehousing and ETL processes. Proven expertise with at least one cloud provider (Azure, AWS, GCP) and Databricks.
  • Knowledge: Ability to design and implement scalable, efficient, and secure data solutions.
  • Mindset: A proactive communicator who thrives in client-focused environments, passionate about mentoring and sharing knowledge.
  • Bonus: Fluency in Dutch is desirable.

If you don’t meet every single requirement, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another. Join us in transforming data into actionable insights and building a smarter future - one solution at a time.

What We Offer:
  • Collaborate with industry-leading clients across diverse sectors to deliver impactful data solutions.
  • Utilize cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, with Databricks as a central focus.
  • Access exclusive learning resources from Databricks, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google to continuously enhance your skills.
  • Benefit from opportunities to earn industry-recognized certifications (Databricks and cloud platforms) sponsored by Lakehouse Partners.
  • Join a growing community of data professionals in the Benelux, where we foster collaboration and innovation through regular meetups, knowledge-sharing sessions, and networking opportunities.

We want to create a working environment that allows all employees to bring their best and authentic selves. If who we are suits you, but you're not sure if you're the best fit for the role, we still encourage you to apply so we can help you find the role that fits you best.
