About the role

Delta Freight Cloud is hiring a data engineer in Amsterdam. You will build the pipelines that turn raw events into tables the rest of the business is willing to bet on. A pipeline that is fast and quietly wrong is worse than one that is slow, so correctness, lineage and replay are the axes we optimise.

Dutch offers are quoted as an annual gross figure with the 8% holiday allowance normally paid on top, and the 30% ruling may apply if you are relocating.

What the work actually looks like

The work is a mix of new ingestion, modelling in the warehouse, and the permanent background task of handling late, duplicated and malformed records without silently dropping them. You will own the freshness and quality checks for your domain and be the person analysts ask when a number looks wrong. The team works a hybrid week out of Amsterdam, usually three days together and the rest wherever you work best.

What we look for

This is a senior individual-contributor role. You will be expected to push back on requirements that do not make sense and to set the technical direction for your part of the product. We want strong SQL, comfort with Python, and experience with an orchestrator in production. Modelling judgement matters more here than knowing a specific vendor: you should be able to explain why a table is shaped the way it is.

Working at Delta Freight Cloud

A four-day week is a normal request here rather than an unusual one, and genuine part-time contracts are available for this role. The range shown is the annual gross salary band for this role.

Responsibilities

Build and operate ingestion and transformation pipelines end to end
Model warehouse tables that analysts can use without asking what a column means
Handle late, duplicate and malformed records explicitly rather than by accident

Requirements

Strong SQL, including window functions and query tuning
Python for data work and for the glue around it
Production experience with Airflow, Dagster or a comparable orchestrator
A cloud warehouse such as BigQuery, Snowflake or Redshift

Delta Freight Cloud

Rotterdam51-200 peopleLogistics Software

Delta Freight Cloud plans container movements between the Port of Rotterdam and inland terminals across the Rhine corridor. Our software decides which barge, which train and which truck, and it is measured on empty kilometres removed rather than on features shipped.

The data is messy in ways only physical logistics can be: a vessel arrives eleven hours late, a terminal closes a gate, a customs message never lands. Handling that gracefully is most of the product.

We are based near Rotterdam Centraal with a small team in Utrecht. A four-day week is a normal request here rather than an unusual one.
