ABOUT TROPOS

Tropos delivers scalable and reliable data analytics solutions that lead to actionable business insights. We collaborate with clients across diverse industries and help them unlock the full potential of their data by combining our deep expertise with unrivaled automation.

We believe in a no-nonsense, results-driven approach—no buzzwords, just clear communication and measurable impact.

We’re a highly attuned team. Thanks to our seamless and pleasant collaboration, we’re able to move fast and deliver with care and precision.

ABOUT THE JOB

As an experienced Data Engineer, you will be responsible for building and running the data foundations that power analytics, reporting, and AI use cases.

You design, develop, deploy, and maintain modern data pipelines and platforms. You work across the modern data stack—from ingestion to transformation and delivery—ensuring scalability, reliability, and high-quality data products for our clients.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and maintain robust data pipelines from ingestion to consumption.

  • Develop scalable ELT workflows using modern tools such as dbt.

  • Implement and optimize cloud-based data solutions across Azure/AWS/GCP.

  • Leverage Snowflake or Databricks for scalable warehousing and lakehouse workloads.

  • Design and maintain clean, well-structured data models for analytics and self-service BI (Data Vault 2.0, …).

  • Apply DevOps-style practices to data work: CI/CD, version control, automated deployments.

  • Document solutions clearly so clients can operate and extend them independently.

  • Contribute to continuous improvement through reusable engineering patterns and knowledge sharing.

Job requirements

  • Able to write clean, maintainable code in SQL and Python.

  • Know how to implement and optimize cloud-based data solutions (Azure/AWS/GCP) and work with modern data warehouses such as Snowflake or Databricks.

  • Use dbt to build modular, testable, and well-documented transformation layers.

  • Understand data modeling concepts (star schemas, marts, layered architectures).

  • Apply engineering best practices: CI/CD, Git workflows, monitoring, and data quality checks.

  • Communicate clearly with both technical and business stakeholders.

  • Enjoy working in a consulting environment with variety in clients and challenges.

IN RETURN, WE OFFER

A competitive salary package with extra-legal benefits, including:

  • A company car or legal mobility budget

  • Hospitalization and group insurance

  • Flexible, tax-friendly options via a cafeteria plan

  • A high-end laptop

  • Expense allowances

  • Meal and eco-vouchers

We also provide:

  • A hybrid way of working that balances focused remote time with meaningful in-person collaboration.

  • A culture rooted in continuous learning and growth, from knowledge-sharing sessions to sponsored certifications and team activities.

  • A supportive, no-nonsense mindset where colleagues tackle challenges together.

  • An entrepreneurial spirit powered by innovation, teamwork, and a healthy sense of humor.
