As a Senior Solutions Engineer in the Benelux Field Engineering team, you'll be an essential part of this mission, using your technical expertise to demonstrate how our Data Intelligence Platform can help customers solve their complex data challenges.
You'll work with a collaborative, customer-focused team who values innovation and creativity, using your skills to create customised solutions to help our customers achieve their goals and guide their businesses forward.
Some of the key responsibilities of this role include:

We're looking for someone with a strong aptitude and familiarity working with clients, creating a narrative, aligning the agenda based on business priorities, and achieving tangible outcomes. Experience in use case discovery, scoping, and delivering complex solution architecture designs to multiple audiences, requiring an ability to context switch in levels of technical depth, is also essential.
Some of the key requirements for this role include:
- Strong knowledge of Big Data Analytics and experience with cloud platforms (e.g., Databricks, AWS, Microsoft, GCP, or other relevant platforms).
- Proficiency with Artificial Intelligence, AI Agents, and Big Data Analytics technologies, including hands-on expertise with sophisticated proofs-of-concept and public cloud platform(s).
- Experience diving deeper into solution architecture and Data Engineering.
