From day one, we’ve been a cloud-first platform with an open API architecture, leveraging structured data to transform how accountants work.\nOur mission is simple: to enhance and support the accountancy profession through AI and automation, ensuring accountants remain relevant and respected in the future of finance.\nIn 2023, Silverfin became part of the Visma Group, joining one of Europe’s leading providers of cloud software. This partnership strengthens our ability to innovate and expand our impact within the accountancy industry.\nToday, Silverfin is trusted by over 1000 firms across 16 countries. Our clients include all of the Big 4 accounting firms, as well as leading global networks like BDO, PKF, Baker Tilly, Grant Thornton, and Moore.\nHeadquartered in Ghent, with offices in London, Luxembourg, Mont-Saint-Guibert, and Gouda (NL), we’re a team of over 180 people - including a diverse remote engineering team working across multiple time zones - all working together to drive innovation in accounting.\nHow would you support our success?\nYour role\n\nAs our Data & Analytics Engineer, you will own data at Silverfin and be the face of data in the company. You will be the person teams turn to for data they can trust, and the person who asks whether our current setup is the best one for where we are going. Our Data team has a growing mandate in the business, and data sits at the heart of it. This role moves data from a support function to a strategic one.\nYou will report directly to the VP Finance and work alongside our external data consultant. As our internal data specialist, you will take the initiative, build data products that teams trust, and shape the long-term data roadmap.\nKey Impact Areas:\nData Strategy & Ownership: Own our data landscape end to end, from sources and pipelines to models and dashboards, and shape a long-term data roadmap that serves every department.\n\nData Governance: Put clear ownership, definitions, quality standards and access rules in place, so the whole business works from one trusted version of the truth.\n\nData Platform & Engineering: Build and run reliable, scalable pipelines and data models on our cloud stack, and propose improvements to our architecture and tooling.\n\nBusiness Partnership & Insight: Work with teams across the company to understand their needs and turn them into data products, including Looker dashboards people actually use.\n\nAI & Innovation: Follow what is happening in data and AI, and bring the developments that matter into how Silverfin works with data.\n\nYour responsibilities\n\nData Strategy & Leadership:\nDefine and drive Silverfin's data roadmap together with the VP Finance, aligned with company priorities and the needs of every department.\n\nCritically assess our current data setup, tools and processes, and propose improvements, simplifications or alternatives.\n\nAct as the go-to person and ambassador for data across Silverfin, represent data in cross-functional discussions and grow data literacy in the business.\n\nOwn delivery of the internal data backlog (pipelines, data models, dashboards, data quality checks)\n\nData Engineering & Platform:\nDesign, build and maintain data pipelines and integrations from our source systems into BigQuery, using Cloud Functions, fivetran and Airbyte, with GitLab for version control and deployment.\n\nDevelop and maintain robust, well-documented data models that support scalable and accurate reporting.\n\nMonitor the health, performance and cost of the data platform, and resolve issues before they reach the business.\n\nLead the move away from Metabase, consolidating reporting into another solution without loss of data or insight for business users.\n\nData Governance & Quality:\nSet up and run a data governance framework covering data ownership, KPI definitions, data quality checks and access management, in line with Visma Group standards.\n\nCreate and maintain a data catalogue and clear documentation of sources, metrics and models.\n\nMake sure data is handled in line with GDPR and our information security policies.\n\nBusiness Partnership & Reporting:\nTalk to teams across the business to understand their questions and needs, and translate them into data solutions.\n\nBuild and maintain dashboards and reports in Looker, and enable teams to answer their own questions.\n\nWork with our external data consultant to agree priorities and divide delivery.\n\nAI & Innovation:\nKeep up with developments in data engineering, analytics and AI, and translate them into concrete opportunities for Silverfin.\n\nWork with our data consultant on building AI agents for teams across Silverfin and making our data ready for agentic ways of working.\n\nExplore how AI can make our data more accessible, for example through self-service analytics and automation.\n\nWhat would success look like?\n\nThe business sees you as the face of data at Silverfin and comes to you proactively with questions and ideas.\n\nMetabase is retired and business users can continue their work, without losing data or insight along the way.\n\nA data governance framework is in place: every core KPI has one agreed definition, data has clear owners and quality issues are caught early.\n\nA long-term, cross-department data vision and roadmap is agreed and being delivered.\n\nOur data setup has been critically reviewed, with clear, well-argued recommendations on what to keep, change or stop.\n\nYou bring relevant data and AI developments to the table and turn the most promising ones into working solutions.\n\nWhat will support your success?\nExperience and Qualifications\n\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Business Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.\n\nAt least 5 years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering or BI, including end-to-end ownership of a data platform or data domain.\n\nHands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines and data models in a cloud data warehouse, preferably BigQuery on Google Cloud.\n\nProven experience setting up or improving data governance, and in shaping a data roadmap together with business stakeholders.\n\nExperience in a SaaS environment is strongly preferred.\n\nSkills and knowledge\n\nMust-haves:\nAdvanced SQL.\n\nHands-on experience with a cloud data warehouse (e.g. BigQuery, Snowflake or Redshift).\n\nStrong knowledge of data modelling, data warehousing and ELT/ETL processes.\n\nExperience with at least one data visualisation tool (e.g. Looker, Looker Studio, Power BI or Tableau).\n\nGeneral skills:\nGood understanding of data governance, data quality and data security principles, including GDPR.\n\nHands-on experience using AI in your own data work (e.g. code generation, self-service analytics) and ideas on how to apply it further.\n\nStrategic thinking: able to see the bigger picture and translate it into a pragmatic roadmap.\n\nExcellent communication skills in English, with the ability to explain technical topics to non-technical colleagues. Dutch and/or French is a plus.\n\nNice-to-haves:\nPython.\n\nExperience with Google Cloud, including BigQuery and Cloud Functions.\n\nKnowledge of Looker and LookML.\n\nExperience with data ingestion tools such as Fivetran or Airbyte.\n\nVersion control and CI/CD, ideally in GitLab.\n\nAttitude and personality-related traits\n\nApproachable and collaborative: you enjoy talking to people across the business and building relationships.\n\nLots of drive and a strong sense of ownership: you take the initiative instead of waiting to be asked.\n\nCritical and curious: you ask the hard questions, including whether the way we do things today is the best way.\n\nA strategic mindset combined with a hands-on attitude: comfortable both shaping the vision and building the solution.\n\nConfident in representing data and in challenging stakeholders constructively.\n\nResilient and adaptable in a fast-paced, growing environment.\n\nWe care for you\nBe part of something bigger - Join a growing SaaS company that’s now proudly part of Visma, Europe’s leader in mission-critical cloud software.\nA connected team - Take part in regular team activities, retreats, and offsites to keep our culture thriving.\nGrow with us - Take advantage of career development opportunities and a personal training allowance to support your growth.\nTime to recharge - Enjoy our company-wide Wellbeing Days off each month (reviewed annually).\nFlexibility with connection - We have a hybrid setup, with a minimum of two days a week in the office.
