Data Engineer

Full-time / Part-time
· Utrecht

CLEVER°FRANKE is an enthusiastic, multi-disciplinary team of 30+ people with 12+ nationalities from across the world. We are interaction designers, developers, project managers, data analysts, and more. All with a passion for what we do. We are curious about the world around us and apply the same curiosity to our work and projects.

At CLEVER°FRANKE we’re experts at creating data driven solutions, such as dashboards, microsites, platforms and physical installations; data is at the core of all of them.

We have been steadily growing and we are looking for a Data Engineer.

As a Data Engineer, you’ll collaborate with designers, developers, and data specialists to turn data into actionable insights and reliable product features. Ensuring quality, reproducibility, accuracy, and security in our data pipelines will be a key part of your role.

Our data approach and tech stack are flexible, tailored to each project’s needs. Data may come as files, in cloud storage, databases, or via APIs. You’ll work to understand a project’s data requirements and translate them into reliable pipelines, maintainable databases, and, where relevant, integrate external open data sources.

You have at least 2 years of experience in data engineering and a keen interest in data visualization and product development. You’re methodical, detail-oriented, and take initiative in your domain. Key skills include:

• Building and maintaining data infrastructure, including ETL pipelines, orchestration, and validation
• Proficiency in Python, SQL, and database management
• Data modeling, API design, and cloud infrastructure experience
• Version control with Git and collaborative software development
• Familiarity with modern data engineering tools and frameworks for pipeline orchestration, validation, and testing (e.g., Dagster, Pandera, Airflow, Great Expectations)
• Monitoring, debugging, and ensuring reliability of data pipelines
• Proactive in suggesting and implementing project-specific solutions

We’d be especially excited if you also have experience in:

• Data science
• Data visualization and prototyping
• Experience with Graph databases like Neo4j, Neptune or CosmosDB
• Developing AI-driven products, including integration with LLMs through APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic) or self-hosted models

You’re welcome at CLEVER°FRANKE regardless of your appearance, identity or background. It’s not a place you have to ‘fit in’ but somewhere everyone can feel themselves and be their best to do their best.

Studies suggest that women and underrepresented groups tend to hesitate to apply for a job if their CV isn’t a perfect fit. Here, we look for talent and potential – not just formal experience and expertise. So if you like the role and think you could be awesome at it, go ahead and apply.
