Data Engineer (medior)
Full-time / Part-time · Rotterdam*
As a data engineer within Mérieux NutriSciences | Blonk you will help translate domain specific models and data from various sources into environmental data products (such as our flagship database Agri-footprint). You will work on tooling used to generate environmental footprint data for food and agricultural products.
We work in multidisciplinary teams which focus on specific aspects of our ecosystem. You’ll become part of the Phoenix team, focusing on the development of tooling that drive a central data generation process. In this we are responsible for the whole process; from conceptualization and design up to working apps in production that meet our quality standards.
The Phoenix team currently consists of 2 content specialists and 2 software engineers. We share a passion for the products we work on and strive to improve them with each iteration, automating as much as possible.
*Currently, we are based in Gouda, but our office is moving to Rotterdam in a few months.
Today is Thursday, one of our two office-days in the week. You arrive at the office and catch up with colleagues during a coffee. At 9.45 the team's daily stand-up starts. You mention yesterday's schema design session where a new more formalized metadata schema was drafted. Today, you use it as input for the next issue which you just picked up from the backlog, a proof-of-concept implementation of the schema into one of our ETL models. For this you shortly pair up with a developer from the team to discuss implementation details. At midday we’ll have lunch together. Some of your colleagues will ask you to join for a post-lunch walk. In the afternoon you’ll continue with the proof-of-concept implementation, which you deploy by pushing the work to GitLab, where it’s picked up by a ci/cd pipeline which deploys it to the cloud. Together with a few interested colleagues you try out the PoC. It works! Great news for tomorrow’s daily stand-up.
Strong knowledge of at least one programming language (we use Python)
Strong analytical skills and understanding of systems thinking
Experience with data modelling and schema design
Experience with ETL & data pipeline automation
Experience with version control systems
Experience with databases (we use SQL and DynamoDB)
Completed university education in a scientific or engineering subject
Experience in working with software engineers and domain experts in multidisciplinary teams
At least 3 years relevant working experience
Located in The Netherlands
Bonus points
Experience with cloud platforms (we use AWS)
Experience with containerization (we use Docker)
Experience working in agile environments (we use scrum)
Experience working with LCA (software)
Experience with data management solutions
Experience with data visualization
