Lead Data Engineer (Limburg)

Microsoft, data & ai, lot of experience, consultant
Belgium

You’re an experienced Data Engineer who’s ready for more. You know your way around the Microsoft data stack, enjoy working with customers and like taking the lead. You’re proactive, hands-on and not afraid to build something new—especially if it means helping others grow along the way.
If you’re based in or near Limburg and you’re excited about helping us grow our Microsoft Data & AI presence there, we’d love to meet you! 

What will you be doing?

We have an established Microsoft Data & AI team in West-Flanders, East-Flanders, Antwerp and Wallonia. Now, we’re ready to take the next step and build something similar in Limburg! That’s where you come in.


As our Lead Data Engineer in the region, you’ll be wearing a few different hats: 

  • Presales: supported by the sales colleagues, you’ll be the first point of contact for new leads in the Limburg area. You’ll listen, ask the right questions, and help translate the needs of our potential customers into clear proposals and project plans.  
  • Working on projects: you’ll still get your hands dirty. Whether it’s running workshops, designing data architectures, or building pipelines, you’ll be actively involved in delivery. You’ll work with tools like Azure, Databricks, Power BI, SQL, PySpark,… 
  • Building the local team: you’ll help us grow a local team in Limburg.

You won’t be doing this alone – we’ve got a great team to support you! You can count on the technical expertise and leadership of the broader Microsoft Data & AI team but also of the local leadership of delaware as a whole.

Who are we?

From creating the most basic reports to building a data architecture from scratch – you name it, we’ve done it. In the Microsoft Data & AI Team, you’ll join more than 100 data engineers, analysts and scientists, working on innovative projects alongside one another.


We love to dive deep into data to help clients get to know their company from the inside out. This makes every project a new learning experience we get to share with each other. And we definitely love to share. Through team meetings, data snack sessions, going to conferences and reporting back on them and discussions (called DataCafés) we keep each other in the loop. 


You can find most of our colleagues around our Ghent, Kortrijk and Antwerp offices but for this position, we are specifically looking for someone to join our Lummen office to help us build a local presence there. 

Is there a match?

We’re looking for someone who’s not afraid to take initiative, who enjoys building something from the ground up, and who’s comfortable switching between delivery and business development. Consultancy experience is a plus, but not a must. 

Let’s see. If you…

  • Have at least 6 years of experience as a Data Engineer, ideally with Microsoft technologies; 
  • Know your way around Azure, Databricks, Power BI, SQL, and PySpark
  • Understand lakehouse architectures and ETL/ELT flows
  • Have led full end-to-end data projects before;
  • Are a strong communicator—in both Dutch and English.

…then you may be the Lead Data Engineer we’re looking for!

Let's meet up!
