Principal Data Engineer

We believe top experts need space. Space to innovate, but also space for a private life. 

• Impact: A key role where you have direct influence on Valcon’s technical strategy. 

• Flexibility & Balance: A culture that respects your work-life balance, including options for a sabbatical or extra leave. 

• Appreciation: An excellent salary (matching the Principal/Senior Principal level), bonus scheme, and mobility budget/lease car. 

• Community: A network of peers to spar with, plus access to sports facilities and social events. 

• Competitive and transparent salary according to our pay structure, an annual bonus of up to 4 months’ salary (depending on seniority level, individual performance, and company results), and a monthly expense allowance of €95.
• A company car or mobility budget.
• A workplace that prioritizes and respects your work-life balance (for example by offering you the option of taking a sabbatical or expand the amount of holidays per year).
• An affordable sports membership that allows you to participate in 50 different sports offered by over 10,000 partners.
• The opportunity to work remotely from abroad for 10 days per year.
• A vibrant community that organizes both professional and social events.

In this role, you combine deep technical expertise with strategic insight. You are responsible for the quality of solutions within a broad portfolio, and you set the standards for the rest of the organization. 

• Guiding & Connecting: You design complex data architectures and oversee the quality of delivery across multiple projects. You connect different technical disciplines to create maximum value for the client. 

• Innovation & Standardization: You follow the latest market developments closely and translate them into new tools, methods, and standards for Valcon. You are the one who determines how we work and ensures we stay ahead technically. 

• Inspiring Mentorship: You act as a mentor for senior specialists and consultants. You actively contribute to knowledge sharing by delivering expert training and coaching colleagues, enabling them to grow in their profession. 

• Trusted Advisor: Clients see you as the expert. You join strategic sessions, help frame complex issues, and identify opportunities where Valcon can add value. 

You are a recognized expert in your field who easily switches between technology and business. You enjoy sharing your knowledge, for example by speaking at events or writing publications.
