Medior Data Engineer

Does this sound like you?

You are an engineer with a pragmatic attitude, who enjoys coding. 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 we build strong Data & AI practices to deliver value to our clients and their customers. In the past, our team has predicted daily bread demands of millions of loaves, built advanced energy‑saving algorithms at a national scale, and established data innovation labs at large multinational companies. As a data engineer you are responsible for the implementation of the foundations of data‑intensive systems. You develop infrastructure to store, transform, and process data at scale and in the cloud using the technology that you see fit for the job. Moreover, you know how to leverage the latest AI coding tools (like Copilot, Cursor, or Claude) to be more effective without compromising on quality.

This dynamic environment offers countless opportunities for personal and professional growth, inspiring you to reach new heights in your career as a data engineer.

At Xebia we work as a team and are always ready to help you solve your problems. When you’re working on‑site with a client and come across a challenging problem, everybody at Xebia is just a quick message away, ready to assist at any time.

Who Are We Looking For?

The Data Engineer role is a medior position with a central role in our clients’ teams, so we require at least 3 years of relevant professional experience. However, if you have done something outstanding during your studies or previous job—such as contributing to open‑source projects or starting your own company—you are encouraged to apply regardless of the level of your experience.

This is your dream job if…

• If you like working with modern data processing tools, such as Databricks, Spark, Airflow, cloud, and Terraform.
• If you like challenging yourself and becoming an authority.
• If you enjoy working for different clients and constantly learning new environments and people.
• If you deliver quality without compromise, which is one of our core values.

This is not your dream job if…

• If you do not like working under pressure to get things done in the best possible way.
• If you do not like explaining your work and sharing knowledge with peers.
• If you do not like coding, scripting, and templating.
• If you do not live in North Brabant, Limburg, or Gelderland.
