Senior Data Engineer with Spark / Scala
Rotterdam, fulltime, ASAP

Work on a unique product and deal with Data Engineering challenges every day!
As our Sr. Data Engineer you’ll have a huge contribution to our core product: the Job Marketing Platform (JMP). It’s a big data-driven application with a recommendation engine to help recruiters market jobs online. The platform is used daily by many clients, and we have an ambitious roadmap to build it out further!

Your main responsibility is to develop and improve our data platform, which consists of various components - from ETL, machine learning and real time streaming data pipelines to web services aimed to provide our consumers valuable processed information. We integrate various data sources, from internal stored data (in Elastic, MySQL, Postgres, S3, etc) and tracking systems (Snowplow), to external integrations using 3rd party data.

How you get the job done

• Work in a multidisciplinary agile team
• Take part in critical product design & architecture efforts and be hands-on with the implementation. This covers the entire stack, including also infrastructure and platform related efforts
• Develop scalable data applications, ETL, Machine Learning & Analytics processing pipelines
• Contribute to environment setups/configs and tools for resources efficiency in order to solve complex business tasks
• Design and develop microservices for data consumers
• Challenge, provide guidelines, and mentor junior/medior team members

You will be part of an international and experienced Engineering department consisting of Backend and Frontend Developers, Data- and DevOps Engineers, Designers, an Agile Coach and a CTO.

What our perfect picture looks like
