About this role
Junior Data Engineer Crunch Analytics Data Science Rotterdam, Netherlands Posted on Jul 13, 2026 Job description Are you a starting engineer who wants your code running a real company's data within your first month? Crunch builds the data-driven companies of tomorrow. That takes solid data engineering, and solid data engineers have to start somewhere. We'd rather that somewhere be here: on real client platforms, next to people who've built dozens of them, instead of in a sandbox or a training carousel. That means we hire you for your potential, then invest heavily to turn it into craft. As a Junior Data Engineer , you learn the trade the way it should be learned: by building. You start paired with a medior or senior engineer on a live project, writing pipelines that get reviewed by people who care about the difference between working and good. Over your first year, you grow from following the pattern to understanding why the pattern exists, and from picking up tickets to owning your own pipelines. Our stack is Azure, Databricks, and dbt, and your first Databricks certification is part of the plan, on our time and our dime. In your role, curiosity counts for more than credentials. We can teach you the tools. We can't teach you to want to know how things work. What will be part of your responsibilities? - Build and test ELT pipelines with dbt, SQL, and Python, with code review that actually teaches you something; - Connect source systems (ERPs, planning tools, e-commerce platforms) under guidance, then increasingly on your own; - Learn data modeling by doing, on data models that real planners and managers depend on; - Pick up the operational side of the craft: monitoring, debugging, keeping platforms healthy; - Join client meetings early. We'd rather you learn to talk to a business owner in year one than in year five; - Work toward your first Databricks certification, with study time and support built in. Our offer Fi...
