Values

Discover the values that we carry in our hearts:

Company values

You know nothing until you've deployed to production

Technology itself is never the solution. It’s a tool to deliver business value. We start from the business question and we iterate fast to find the right solution. We refactor our code constantly as we build experience.

We tell the truth as we see it

We want to help clients in the long term. That means that sometimes we have to deliver messages that the client doesn’t want to hear. In these discussions, we always put the client’s interest ahead of our own.

Code is a liability, experience is an asset

Way too often, we’ve seen complex features being designed and built without user involvement, which never got adopted. We aim to get a minimum version live as soon as possible because you learn the most from client feedback.

Culture

Open. Scalable. Sustainable.

Starting eight years ago, Data Minded groups the best data engineers who deliver services to organizations across industries. As a reliable partner, we collaborate with our clients and jointly pursue predefined business goals. We have an honest and pragmatic attitude and follow an iterative build-measure-learn project path.

We are open-minded data engineers who love working with cloud and open-source solutions. Besides reducing costs, such solutions allow for more flexibility and a faster time to market than typical enterprise and on-premise technologies.

DevOps is what we fully embrace since we automate everything through code. This includes the automation of infrastructure, workflow management, configuration, deployments, data pipelines, model training, model scoring, and more. We are strong believers in agile and lean development. This goes beyond 'doing scrum' and having daily standups. We believe it's the role of leadership to define a clear vision and set objectives.

Data Minded culture

Data Minded Team Weekend 2022:

Just like every year, we connected over team weekend 2022 at Hapert, Netherlands.

We started the weekend with a workshop ‘Communication & Feedback’. The workshop was very inspirational & interactive.

By the end of the session, the team got a solid communication framework to bring into practice and learned how to improve their skills even more. There were delicious food and entertainment during the entire weekend.

Since we were in Eindhoven we couldn’t leave out a visit to the Philips Museum and a guided tour through Eindhoven. Also, sports activities couldn’t be left out. We went on early morning runs. We are eagerly waiting for the next one.

Women in data

Meet Jelena Grujic & Ana Escobar Llamazares, two of our data-minded data engineers. While celebrating women in the data industry we asked them a few questions about their views on the data engineering field and what skills are needed to shine in it.
