Your mission
As a Lead Data Engineer at Macaw you collaborate with our clients on designing, building and maintaining their data platform, starting with obtaining data from the source to making data available for users. Additionally, orchestration, security and adoption are also important aspects of your function. We work with Microsoft technology, which means you will be working with Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse Analytics and/or Microsoft Fabric.
Your daily responsibilities depend on two things: your client projects and your interest in contributing to internal initiatives. The client projects vary a lot, from projects at smaller organisations where you can work independently and autonomously as a data engineer to larger companies in which you are part of a large project team collaborating with project managers, solution architects and developers. Our clients are mainly located in the Netherlands and Germany.
It will depend on your own interests to which internal projects you choose to contribute. Are you passionate about Microsoft Fabric, AI, Copilot, Azure Databricks or would you like to delve into topics such as data strategy and data governance? There are many internal initiatives you can participate in, providing you with the opportunity to further develop your knowledge in other areas as well. Consider, for example, our Smart Data Platform, a Data Platform accelerator which we develop and maintain internally. This platform enables clients to kickstart their data platform project quickly and efficiently through reference architecture, standard solutions, best practices and reusable load patterns. It has already been successfully deployed at several clients and we would like to grow this number further and expand the functionalities of the platform at the same time.
You will become a member of the Data Solutions & Insights (DSI) team. This team consists of approximately 50 colleagues divided into 6 smaller teams. DSI is one of the six units within Macaw, contributing to a total of 400 employees across all units.
