Data Engineer | Cloud & Data Platforms

Build and operate data platforms in production at enterprise clients, while accelerating your engineering skills through weekly deep-dives, real project feedback and a structured growth track.


This is not a training program. You work in production from the start and develop yourself through real-world engineering challenges, guided by experienced Tech Leads.


What you’ll work on

As a Data Engineer, you design, build and operate data platforms that are actually used by the business.


You work on:

  • Building scalable data pipelines (batch and streaming)
  • Designing and maintaining cloud-based data platforms
  • Developing data-intensive applications and processing systems
  • Productionizing data and machine learning workflows
  • Improving reliability, performance and scalability of data systems


You don’t work on isolated scripts, you build systems that need to run, scale and deliver value in production.


Your environment

You work four days per week at one of our partner organizations, as part of an engineering team working on business-critical platforms.


On the fifth day, you return to Xccelerated for:

  • Advanced technical deep-dives
  • Architecture and design sessions
  • Feedback on challenges from your own project
  • Guidance from experienced Data Engineering Tech Leads


This setup allows you to accelerate your growth while building real production experience at the same time.


What we’re looking for

We’re looking for engineers who care about building systems, not just using tools.


Must-have

  • 3–5 years of experience as a Data Engineer
  • Strong Python and skills
  • Experience with building data pipelines or data platforms
  • Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure or GCP)
  • Understanding of scalable systems and data processing

Nice-to-have

  • Experience with Spark, Airflow, Kafka or similar tools
  • Experience with data warehousing or lakehouse architectures
  • Exposure to CI/CD, containerization or infrastructure-as-code

You’ll thrive here if you:

  • Take ownership and like solving complex engineering problems
  • Care about quality, reliability and maintainability
  • Want to continuously improve your technical depth


What you get

  • A strong salary and benefits package
  • 25 vacation days
  • A structured growth track with weekly deep-dives and coaching
  • Direct experience in production environments at enterprise clients
  • A peer group of Data, Cloud and Analytics Engineers
  • Continuous support from Tech Leads on your real-world challenges


The process

  • Introductory call
  • Technical conversation
  • Final interview

Fast feedback at every step.
