Do you like to be part of a company where data really counts? Do you like to be part of a team
where you can directly see the effects of your developments? Do you have the drive, spirit and
high responsibility necessary for being part of a fast-moving trading environment? Then become
a Junior Data Engineer!
GRASP THE OPPORTUNITY
The key to success of a winning trade can be found in the fluid processing of the latest
relevant data. As (Junior) Data Engineer you have a key role in this process. The gathering and
structuring of the data to be able to translate it into usable information for the traders is an
essential part along the chain.
As (Junior) Data Engineer your main focus will be designing, building and operating our
Database Systems. You will be responsible for expanding and optimizing our data collection
and data pipeline architecture as well as optimizing the data structure in order that the design,
architecture and configuration meets the high-performance requirements of the business.
You will work closely together with data scientists and/or analysts to translate data questions
from the traders into the desired data structure. This enables it to process it to usable
information and/or directly being used in visualization tools. You will streamline the data flows,
build monitoring systems and assist on creating data models to make sure the trader is provided
with excellent trading information to beat the markets.
Your challenge? New data sources pop-up almost every day. Gathering these sources and
creating a framework to be able to easily process them into useful information sources and tools
for the traders to excel.
Your goal? Creating and developing the Data Framework which enables your colleagues to
build sophisticated models, answer questions on the fly when new data comes in or that can
easily be used for more in-depth analytical purposes or trading models.
As Junior Data Engineer you will first get to learn and understand the process flows of the data
sources and will be educated to gain some basic knowledge of how the data is being used. You
will start in a team and will get assigned to a project to develop new scrapers and/or structure
the data in such way that your colleagues are able to use it. To improve the learning experience,
and to give you a smooth start, you will start with frequent peer programming sessions within
the Data Engineering team.
If you have some programming skills in Python and/or SQL this is a plus as these programming
languages will be extensively used, but otherwise you will get training along the way.
