About this role
Budget Thuis logo Data Engineer - - Amsterdam - € 5.000 - € 7.800 per maand - Product & Tech Functieomschrijving How do you build a reliable pipeline when the tools haven't even been chosen yet? As Data Engineer at Budget Thuis, you'll help lay the technical foundation for how a Dutch energy supplier uses its data, from warehouse to orchestration. Curious what that looks like in practice? Read on. What You'll Do As Data Engineer, you'll be one of the first members of our new data team and help build our data platform from scratch. - Help evaluate and choose the tools for our data stack: data warehouse, ELT, and orchestration. - Build and maintain data pipelines of low to medium complexity once the foundation is in place. - Add data quality checks to every pipeline change: null checks, row counts, schema validation, and dbt tests (or equivalent) as standard practice, not an extra step. - Break your work into small, deployable increments and keep pull requests focused. - Monitor pipeline outputs after every deployment and keep the codebase easy to work with. - Respond quickly to pipeline failures, investigate the root cause, and escalate when an issue is bigger than you. - Review pull requests with constructive feedback, pair with teammates on complex work, and support colleagues where needed. - Communicate early when changes affect downstream consumers such as BI, ML, or customers, and prioritize based on customer impact. - Build a concrete growth plan with your manager and share what you learn from mistakes.
