Founding Data Engineer

Amsterdam or London | from €80,000 + Benefits

This is an opportunity for a Data profile who wants ownership, influence, and the chance to build something from the ground up. Rather than joining a large data team and owning a small piece of the puzzle, you will define the company's entire data landscape, from architecture and tooling to governance and reporting.

The Company

They are a growing investment organisation focused on backing innovative technology businesses. Data sits at the heart of their decision-making, but information is currently spread across multiple systems, spreadsheets, and reporting tools. They are looking for someone to build a modern, scalable data environment that will support the business for years to come.

The Role

  • Build the company's first data warehouse and centralised data platform
  • Design the data architecture and recommend the technology stack
  • Consolidate data from CRM systems, spreadsheets, reporting tools, and external platforms
  • Develop automated data pipelines and API integrations
  • Establish data governance, quality standards, and business definitions
  • Partner closely with finance, operations, and investment teams
  • Shape the long-term data and analytics strategy


Your Skills & Experience

  • Strong commercial experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or Data Consulting
  • Experience building or transforming data environments from scratch
  • Strong SQL and Python skills
  • Experience with APIs, data warehousing, and modern cloud technologies
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Understanding of investment, private equity, financial services, or portfolio data
  • Degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline is beneficial
  • This role is particularly suited to someone coming from a consultancy or a smaller business environment. You will enjoy solving greenfield challenges, making technology decisions, and operating with a high degree of autonomy.

What They Offer

  • End-to-end ownership of the data function
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership
  • The opportunity to build a modern data platform from day one


How to Apply

If you enjoy building rather than maintaining, and want to shape the future of a company's data capability, apply today.
