Royal Schiphol Group brings the world within reach. We connect the Netherlands with the rest of the world, creating value for the economy and society. Achieving this involves over 2,000 employees working 24/7. Our ambition is to develop Schiphol into Europe’s best airport, both for passengers and airlines. Innovation is key to achieving this ambition.

At Schiphol, you can look out of the window and see your data products make an impact on our operations. We are the only employer with both our own police force and a cinema. Our department works on a range of projects, from image recognition of below-wing processes of aircraft at the gate to expected waiting times at security and even dynamic routing of passengers through the terminal. Walking through the airport, you can witness your work come to life.

The Data & Analytics department (DNA) aims to be the driving force behind a data-driven culture. We focus on our AI, BI, and analytics functions, along with our data governance and quality frameworks. The goal of the Data Factory team within the DnA Foundation is to provide data pipelines on a future-proof data infrastructure, ensuring continuity, safety, and integrity of the delivered data.

The Central Data Factory team consists of data engineers within D&A. Their primary purpose is to establish robust data pipelines for retrieving data from internal and external sources and eventually sending it to the Core Data Platform. The team collaborates closely with various departments within Schiphol, including AI, BI, IoT, Data Governance, and more.

As a Data Engineer, you will build data pipelines by working closely with our Core Data Platform team, various internal business stakeholders, and multiple data providers.

You will see yourself as a senior engineer with extensive programming experience and a willingness to help the team achieve its goals. In this role, you will:

• Identify the integration requirements of several data sources,
• Design, implement, and test cloud-based (Azure) data-intensive applications,
• Collaborate with Lead Engineers, Data Architects, and Enterprise Architects for technical solutions,
• Assist team members with technical questions, and
• Coach junior team members.

The role of Data Engineer at Schiphol is a challenging and exciting opportunity in a cornerstone of the Dutch economy that is undergoing significant changes. You will work with highly motivated colleagues who take genuine pride in their work and are part of a young and inspiring Digital & Innovation leadership team.
