Job Description

Data Engineer wanted for one of my best clients with hubs in Antwerp and Brussels. They have grown exponentially in the last 2 years. They were even able to grow internationally!


They are typically working on big projects across the globe. They are arguably the most technical consultancy I'm working with. People joining from other top consultancies say it's tough! But in a good way as you will learn a lot. Everyone is super technical and there's a process for frameworks, etc. Even when you have legacy code you will know what to do. They have a good structure where everything makes sense.


They are mainly focused on cloud applications. This will be their first hire as a Data Engineer. There will be lots of room to grow in a great, qualitative team.

  • Customer Engagement: Work closely with clients to integrate data sources and customize analytics.
  • Collaboration & Mentorship: Partner with Product, Engineering, and Customer teams; mentor junior data engineers.
  • Innovation: Explore new technologies-APIs, cloud platforms, microservices-to future-proof our solutions.


️ What You Bring

  • Experience with DBT and Data Warehouse Platforms (Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift).
  • Knowledge of ETL/ELT Tools (Fivetran, Stitch, custom ingestion scripts).

  • Familiarity with BI tools (PowerBI, Tableau, Looker).
  • Bonus: Backend programming experience (Python, Go, Java) and familiarity with Docker, Cloud Platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
