Data Engineers are first and foremost the software engineers of the analytical world. You like to help data-driven organizations move, process and store data by building data warehouses, data lakes, lake houses and distributed data meshes. Sometimes you’ll also collaborate with data scientists to deploy, monitor and scale machine learning solutions and data products.
Every Data engineer kicks off with two full-time weeks of hands-on bootcamp training. This intensive training focuses on writing deployable code with Python, containerization, data processing at large scale with Apache Spark and Kafka, and cloud fundamentals. Participants learn through classroom lectures, short assignments, hackathons and collaborative project assignments. Our Data Engineering Lead Emanuel chooses the best training approach for the topic, depending on your needs.
After these 2 kick off weeks, you spend a full year working on-site four days a week at one of our partner companies and returning one day a week to our Xccelerated office in Amsterdam. During these “return” days, you split your time between theory and practice—gaining project guidance and coaching from our supervising consultants to support you in the partner company’s projects, while also diving deeper into data engineer topics. At the end of your first year, you get the opportunity to join the partner organization directly.

In conjunction with our technical programs, Xccelerated also provides soft-skills development through interactive training-days and practice. It features an integrated personal development component on effective communication as a Data & AI professional.
Using DISC personality analysis, each participant gains insight into their personality type and communication style and learns how both might impact team collaborations. The foundations of DISC theory first appeared in 1928, in the book The Emotions of Normal People, written by the Harvard Medical School professor and psychologist, Dr. William Marsten. Since then, DISC analysis has evolved into an accurate and valid psychometric behavioral instrument.
The Xccelerated personal development program is divided into seven training topics. Each subject consists of one interactive training day in which everyone practices their skills.
As a Data Engineer you will work together with other medior- and senior team members on challenging projects for our clients and help them making a real impact by improving their data platforms and industrializing machine learning.
Besides this, you like to develop and maintain data infrastructure and data intensive applications; like to create insights and make data available for data teams and like to deploy and configure data infrastructure.
A technical bachelor’s or master’s degree (e.g. computer science, informatics, artificial intelligence, software engineering)
2-5 years of work experience as a data engineer or software engineer
Knowledge of open-source technologies like Spark, Kafka, Airflow and Kubernetes
Preferably experience in one of the major cloud environments (Azure, GCP, AWS)
Good communication skills
