What is the role about?

We are looking for a talented Data Platform Engineer to join the Data Platform team in our established Platform Engineering team.

As a Data Engineer in the Data Platform team, you will be instrumental in providing and maintaining a robust data platform to support broader data-heavy functions within Bitvavo, including Reporting, Analytics and Data Science.

As a senior data platform engineer, you will collaborate with other engineering teams to maintain the scalability, reliability and maintainability of Bitvavo’s overall technical stack. You will also work closely with business and product teams to ensure the timeliness and efficiency of data-driven decision-making.

• You'll engage with our talented analysts, immersing yourself in their world to truly understand their data needs. By collaborating closely with them, you'll help shape the foundation for insightful data analysis and drive actionable insights.
  
  

How will you be successful?

• You bring a strong technical background. Familiarity with our tech stack (see above) is a plus.
