Senior Data Engineer
AllYourBI · Rotterdam
About the role
Maybe you call yourself a Senior Data Engineer or an Azure wrangler, a Databricks whisperer, a senior "works-on-my-cluster" engineer… or maybe you just call yourself Sam. Whatever you call yourself, you'll join our Delivery team and build the data platforms our clients actually run on, the pipelines and models behind the moment a client leans forward and says "wait, show me that again."
What they look for
Attitude: honest and constructive. You have the real conversations, and you'll challenge something that doesn't make sense, kindly, with an alternative in hand.
Experience: 5+ years of experience as a Senior Data Engineer, designing, building, and maintaining scalable, reliable data platforms and pipelines in production environments.
Azure data engineering: hands-on across the Azure stack, including SQL Server and Databricks. You build platforms, not just wire them together.
Data modelling: Kimball dimensional modelling is second nature.
Impact over output: you think about what the work changes, not just the code you ship.
Communication: you can take something genuinely complex and make it land, for a teammate or a non-technical client, without needing someone else to translate for you.
Track record: at least one role you stayed in long enough to deliver something real, and recent proof you keep learning, a new tool, a cert, an idea you ran with.
Nice to have: a real IT education and solid software-engineering foundations, functional and object-oriented programming. Data Vault, logistics or industrial data experience, and Dutch are pluses too.
We're 60+ data heroes across Europe, and we hire to widen that mix, not narrow it. What matters is what you can do and the perspective you bring, not your age, gender, ethnicity, orientation, disability, background, or where you studied. If the role excites you and you bring most of it, apply: the people who add the most rarely tick every box.
