Job description
Does this sound like you?
You are an engineer with a pragmatic attitude. You feel the weight of responsibility that comes with taking systems into production. You easily switch between scripting and structured programming in typed languages. You understand cloud, provisioning and automation. And you know how to build robust systems.
How you will help to create value with Data & AI
At Xebia Data we build strong Data & AI practices to deliver value to our clients and their customers. In the past, our team of data professionals has predicted the daily demand for millions of loaves of bread, built advanced energy-saving algorithms to nationwide scale, and set up data innovation labs at large multinational corporations. We enjoy great success in making top companies AI-driven — just think of what more we can achieve when YOU join our team!
As data engineer you are responsible for the implementation of the foundations of data-intensive systems. You develop enabling infrastructure to store, transform and process data at scale and in the cloud. You make sure that data is stored safe and secure using the technology that you see fit for the job.
What you will do to make data-intensive applications work effectively and securely?
With your knowledge of software engineering, cloud, clusters, queues, containers, streaming, or graphs you work on the backbone of the data infrastructure. There is lots of data to store, many jobs to run and schedule, much configuration to be dealt with. You work with the client in teams that are a mix of people from Xebia Data and the client and pick up the work that is related to that backbone on which the team is building.
When you're working on-site with a client, you may come across something that is really difficult to solve. We’ve got your back as we work as a team and will help you solve your problems, because everybody at Xebia Data is just a quick message away and ready to help at any time.
Who Are We Looking For?
The Data Engineer role is a senior position with a central role in our clients' teams, and therefore we require at least 3 years of relevant professional experience. Having said that, we like to be amazed: so if you have done something outstanding, like contributing to open source projects or starting your own company, we encourage you to apply no matter what the level of your experience is.
