Cloud & Data engineer

Your role

Bring your curiosity to work as our next Cloud & Data Engineer. You will join our specialized software team within Atlas Copco Airpower in Wilrijk and report to the team leader. In this role, your mission is to bridge software engineering, data engineering, and applied data science, building scalable cloud backends, streaming data pipelines, and AI-driven diagnostic tools that optimize thousands of connected industrial compressors globally.

Your day-to-day

• Build and scale the cloud platform connecting physical machine controllers in the field with intelligent cloud services for fleet monitoring, predictive maintenance, and diagnostic insight.

• Move fluidly between building streaming telemetry pipelines (Azure Data Explorer, Databricks, Event Hubs) and developing machine learning models for anomaly detection and failure prediction.

• Deploy ML models to production with drift monitoring, write Infrastructure-as-Code (Bicep), build backend APIs (C# / Python), and expand agentic AI and RAG architectures for unstructured technical knowledge.

• Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and researchers, taking ideas from early notebook prototypes through CI/CD pipelines into reliable, production-ready services.

• Engage in code reviews, technical alignment, and continuous improvement initiatives across the software team.

Your skills and experience

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

• 1 to 3 years of hands-on experience in software engineering, data pipelines, and machine learning workflows.

• Solid Python development skills; working knowledge of C# or eagerness to learn quickly.

• Practical exposure to cloud platforms (Azure preferred), MLOps tools (e.g., MLflow, Weights & Biases), and time-series data processing (ADX/Kusto, Spark, Databricks, SQL).

• Familiarity with LLM applications, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, vector databases, and agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Semantic Kernel).

• Experience with modern software engineering practices: Git, CI/CD, containerization, Infrastructure-as-Code (Bicep), and code reviews; knowledge of IoT protocols (MQTT, AMQP) or frontend frameworks is a nice to have.

• Curious, pragmatic, and collaborative mindset with professional fluency in English (spoken and written).

We encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every requirement. We value diverse experiences and perspectives and look forward to seeing what you bring to the role.
