Description
About RevoData RevoData is a boutique Data & AI consultancy and proud Databricks Gold partner. We focus exclusively on Databricks, allowing us to go deep and do things properly. We help companies across Europe unlock the value in their data, helping them design and build scalable platforms that support real business use cases. We foster a no-ego, no-nonsense culture where collaboration, proactivity and knowledge sharing are part of everyday work. Sound like your kind of environment? Then keep scrolling! About you You’ve reached the point where you don’t just build data platforms - you shape how they should exist. You walk into environments where things are unclear, sometimes messy, sometimes politically complex - and you bring structure, direction, and calmness. Not by overcomplicating things, but by making the right things simple. At RevoData, you operate at the intersection of deep data engineering expertise, technical leadership, and client trust. We’d love to talk if: You’ve led data platforms from idea to reality - more than once Not just contributing, but owning the outcome. You’ve made architectural decisions, dealt with the consequences, and improved things along the way. Databricks is a tool you truly understand, not just use You don’t just implement pipelines - you shape how platforms are structured. From Delta Lake design decisions to Unity Catalog setup and governance, you define foundations that scale. You’re comfortable working across the platform: orchestrating with Workflows, structuring code and deployments properly, and thinking through how data flows from ingestion to consumption. New to Databricks but wan't to specialise quickly? Still apply - we have a track for you! You bring structure where there isn’t any You can take a vague ambition (“we need a data platform”) and turn it into something concrete - defining approach, architecture, and first steps without needing everything handed to you. You balance pragmatism with quality You know when to push for a better design, and when to move forward with something “good enough for now.” You don’t get stuck in theory, but you also don’t create future problems. You raise the level of the people around you Through reviews, discussions, and the way you work, you make others better - without it feeling forced or hierarchical. You influence decisions in the grey area between tech and business You can challenge assumptions, explain trade-offs, and guide decisions - whether you’re speaking to an engineer, a product owner, or a CTO. 💡 Already a Principal but new to Databricks? If you’ve built strong data platforms on other stacks and want to specialise in Databricks quickly, we’ve created a path to get you there. Let’s talk. Nice to have: Databricks certifications (Data Engineer Professional, Machine Learning Engineer Professional etc.) Databricks Champion status Fluency in Dutch What we offer: Tech Playground: Love experimenting? So do we. Play around with Databricks, Terraform, Terragrunt, Asset Bundles, CI/CD, monitoring & alerting tools, Cursor and more.
