Does this sound like you?
You are an engineer with a pragmatic attitude. You feel the weight of responsibility that comes with taking systems into production. You easily switch between scripting and structured programming in typed languages. You understand cloud, provisioning and automation. And you know how to build robust systems.
How you will help to create value with Data & AI
At Xebia we build strong Data & AI practices to deliver value to our clients and their customers. In the past our team of data professionals has predicted the daily demand for millions of loaves of bread, built advanced energy-saving algorithms to nationwide scale, and set up data innovation labs at large multinational corporations. We enjoy great success in making top companies AI-driven — just think of what more we can achieve when YOU join our team!
As a data engineer, you are responsible for the implementation of the foundations of data-intensive systems. You develop enabling infrastructure to store, transform, and process data at scale and in the cloud. You make sure that data is stored safely and securely using the technology that you see fit for the job.
What you will do to make data-intensive applications work effectively and securely?
With your knowledge of software engineering, cloud, clusters, queues, containers, streaming, or graphs, you’ll be working on the backbone of the data infrastructure. There’s a lot of data to store, many jobs to run and schedule, and many configurations to be dealt with. But don’t worry, this is where you’ll thrive. You’ll work at the client in teams that are a mix of people from Xebia and the client, picking up the work that is related to that backbone on which the team is building. This dynamic environment offers endless opportunities for personal and professional growth, inspiring you to reach new heights in your career as a data engineer.
When you’re working on-site with a client and come across a challenging problem, rest assured that we’ve got your back. At Xebia, we work as a team and are always ready to help you solve your problems. Everybody at Xebia is just a quick message away, ready to assist at any time.
Who Are We Looking For?
The Data Engineer role is a senior position with a central role in our clients’ teams, and therefore we require at least 5 years of relevant professional experience. Having said that, we like to be amazed: so if you have done something outstanding during your studies, like contributing to open source projects or starting your own company, we encourage you to apply no matter what the level of your experience is.
THIS IS YOUR DREAM JOB IF…
✅ If you like working with new data processing tools, like Airflow, Spark, Flink, and Druid.
✅ If you understand the importance of cloud and know your way around or want to learn that.
✅ If you like working for different clients and enjoy the excitement of regularly getting to learn new environments and know new people.
THIS IS NOT YOUR DREAM JOB IF…
❌ If you do not like working under pressure to get things done in the best way possible with limited time, you have to finish it.
❌ If you do not like working with open-source technology.
❌ If you do not like coding, scripting, templating.
