Data engineer
At Data Minded, data engineers are at the heart of what we do. As part of our young and fast-growing team based in Belgium, you take part in complex data analytics projects through their entire lifecycle. Besides design and implementation, this also includes following up on project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders.
You're interested in helping organisations become data minded and your idea of fun involves scalable compute clusters or massive data processing. You are convinced sensor data and IoT will have a big impact on society in the coming years and you want to be part of that shift. You are a fan of open source technology and you are not blind to its pitfalls. You are eager to learn and you like to work in a dynamic, no-nonsense start-up environment.
