  • You actively contribute to shaping tomorrow’s infrastructure and ensuring its setup can be industrialized in a future-proof and scalable way

  • You act as a sparring partner to the Data Architect, helping shape the technical direction for building future-proof infrastructure components and continuously evolving the platform in line with industry best practices.

  • Balance cost, performance, and maintainability when designing new or improving on existing solutions

  • Implement production-ready solutions (e.g. deployment automation, monitoring, alerting)

  • Stay up to date with developments in data technology and share your knowledge with your colleagues

  • Coach junior and medior data engineers
