About the job
Data Platform Engineer
Join us in the meaningful world of healthcare, where your work can truly make a difference for clients, staff, and the organization! At Reinaerde, we are committed to building a reliable and future-proof BI environment. As a Data Platform Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing our data layer and overseeing (part of) the management and administration of our BI platform.
Your Responsibilities
Our ambition is both grand and attainable: we aim to organize the information provision that allows Reinaerde to fulfill its ambitions. You will contribute directly by ensuring that our data layer is accurate: stable, secure, well-documented, and ready for analysis and reporting.
As a Data Platform Engineer, your focus will be on the technical foundation beneath Business Intelligence: the data warehouse/data layer, ETL/ELT processes, data quality, and the management of the BI platform. You will collaborate closely with your BI colleagues (Product Owner and Power BI developer/report builder) and with colleagues from IT & Automation and the business.
A Glimpse into Your Daily Activities
Design, build, and manage ETL/ELT processes (extraction, transformation, loading processes) towards the data warehouse/data layer in collaboration with the data architect.
Set up and enhance data models (dimensional modeling, facts/dimensions) and ensure definitions are maintained.
Perform functional and technical management/administration tasks.
Monitor and improve data quality (validations, reconciliations, logging, error handling, performance).
Collaborate with the Power BI developer to ensure datasets are reliable, performant, and reusable.
Work with the Product Owner to prioritize the backlog, make estimates, and substantiate technical choices.
Document data flows, data definitions, and technical agreements to ensure manageability.
Contribute to considerations around security & privacy-by-design in the data layer (access models, data minimization, auditability).
Conduct platform management and administration surrounding BI/Power BI, including workspace management, roles/rights, tenant/capacity settings where applicable, along with coordination, documentation, and more.
