With over 300 successful projects completed in Belgium and abroad, we strive to be a leading boutique firm delivering high-impact solutions for marketing, operations, and finance decision-makers.\nAs Senior Data Platform Engineer, you are the senior technical reference of our Platform Engineering & BI practice. You sit between hands-on delivery and architecture: you design data platforms end-to-end, set them up with the team, and act as the go-to expert when things get hard. The role now also covers the AI Platform layer: the infrastructure, patterns, and guardrails that make AI applications run reliably in production at our clients.\nThis is a senior individual contributor role. You will not manage a team day-to-day, but you will set the technical bar, coach mid-level engineers, and partner with our Practice Director and Managing Partners on the most demanding engagements.\nWhile regular presence at client offices is required, we offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements. Our main offices are in Brussels' city center, and we gather there every Friday to foster team exchanges and strengthen our collective culture.\nWhat you will do\nOwn the architecture of data and AI platforms for our clients: ingestion, storage, transformation, orchestration, serving, observability, and security.\nSet up and harden production environments on modern cloud stacks (AWS, Azure, GCP) with tools like Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, dbt, Airflow, and the surrounding ecosystem.\nDesign and implement the AI Platform layer: model serving, feature stores, RAG pipelines, vector stores, evaluation and monitoring, cost and latency controls, and the guardrails around LLM-based applications.\nAct as senior technical support across active engagements: code reviews, troubleshooting on hard problems, performance tuning, and unblocking junior and mid-level engineers.\nCoach the team. Raise the engineering bar through pairing, technical write-ups, internal sessions, and clear standards.\nEngage directly with client tech leads, architects, and CTOs. Translate business intent into a defensible technical design.\nContribute to proposals and scoping discussions when senior technical credibility is needed.\nHelp shape our point of view on data and AI platforms, and feed it back into our offerings.\nRequirements\nWe are looking for strong candidates with a master's degree in engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, or a related quantitative discipline and at least 5 years of professional experience in data engineering or platform engineering. The ideal profile has 7 to 8 years and has already played the senior technical reference role on real client engagements.\nYou should bring proven experience in:\nDesigning and operating production data platforms on at least one major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP).\nHands-on work with a modern data stack: Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, dbt, Airflow or equivalent, plus solid SQL and Python.\nBuilding or operating components of an AI / ML platform: model deployment, inference infrastructure, RAG pipelines, vector databases, evaluation and observability of LLM applications.\nCI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent), and DevOps practices applied to data.\nData modeling and analytics engineering patterns (medallion, dimensional, contract-driven pipelines).\nSecurity and governance basics: IAM, secrets management, lineage, data quality, GDPR-aware design.\nWorking directly with client stakeholders in a consulting or in-house lead role.\nAdditional requirements:\nFluency in English (our internal working language) is required, plus fluency in French or Dutch. Strong proficiency in Dutch is particularly valued.\nValid type B driving license (Belgian car license) or equivalent.\nEligibility to work in Belgium and the European Union (please be aware that we cannot provide relocation support).\nWe are also looking for the following attributes:\nStrong technical judgment. You know when to pick the boring, proven option and when a newer tool is worth the risk.\nPragmatism. You ship working platforms, not whiteboard diagrams.\nCuriosity about the AI space. You have already gone beyond the demo: you have built, evaluated, and broken LLM-based systems in real settings.\nA coaching mindset. You enjoy making the engineers around you better, not just shipping faster yourself.\nClear communication, both written and spoken, with technical but also non-technical audiences.\nHigh standards, intellectual honesty, and care for the people you work with.\nAlignment with Agilytic's culture: radical candor, low ego, high bar.\nBenefits\nWe aim at creating a work environment that allows you to do great work, grow your skillset and, most importantly, be happy while doing it.\nCompetitive package: variable incentives, mobility budget, phone subscription, laptop, and meal vouchers\nFlexibility on remote working options, as long as it fits with our clients' best interests and team coaching needs\nTraining and development: a roadmap co-designed with you, balancing your personal interests with the skills required by the role\nSupportive structure and transparency: we practice radical candor. We care personally about everyone, and we challenge each other constructively and directly.\n Modern tools: up-to-date hardware and software so technology is never the bottleneck.\nOh, and a little bit of fun too: we take our work very seriously, but we're not afraid to laugh at ourselves. Life is too short.\nA note on our process\nThe bar for this role is high. While we have ambitious plans for Agilytic, we know that hiring right matters more than hiring fast. Our process is designed to reflect the expectations of the position: an initial conversation, a technical deep-dive on your platform experience, a hands-on case study at our offices where you will demonstrate your expertise (bring your laptop and show us how you actually work, including how you use AI tools), and a final meeting with the founding partners. We promise transparency at every step.\nEqual opportunity notice\nWe believe diversity breeds excellence. We are committed to providing employees with a safe work environment, free of discrimination and harassment. We base our remuneration structure and decision-making processes on business needs, job requirements, and individual qualifications, without regard to race, belief, nationality, age, gender, or sexual orientation.\nWe also expect all colleagues to apply these principles in their respective roles.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6594,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Dutch","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"French","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["AI Consulting & Integration","Analytics & BI Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T06:51:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.246,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":160,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:7","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/agilytic-senior-data-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/agilytic-senior-data-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T10:58:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16897,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":719643},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=719643"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fagilytic-senior-data-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fagilytic-senior-data-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fagilytic-senior-data-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/agilytic-senior-data-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fagilytic-senior-data-platform-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":799188}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"agilytic.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":799188},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
