Senior Databricks Data Engineer – Migration & Modernisation

Databricks Migration & Modernisation Engineer

The Hague, Netherlands - 3 days onsite per week

We're looking for an experienced Databricks Migration & Modernisation Engineer to join a major enterprise data-platform transformation programme in The Hague.

You’ll help accelerate the migration and modernisation of legacy data workloads onto a modern Databricks Lakehouse platform, combining hands‑on engineering with the development of reusable migration tooling and patterns.

You’ll be responsible for:

Migrating and refactoring legacy data pipelines and data models

Building scalable Databricks Lakehouse / Medallion architectures

Developing production-grade pipelines with Spark, Python/Scala and SQL

Working with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and DBT

Building reusable migration accelerators, templates and utilities

Developing repeatable engineering and migration patterns

Data validation, reconciliation, testing and performance optimisation

Reviewing existing workloads and recommending appropriate migration strategies

Supporting technical workshops and design reviews

Working closely with engineers, architects and business stakeholders

The technical environment in the brief spans Databricks, Spark, Python/Scala, advanced SQL, DBT and modern batch/streaming architectures.

What we're looking for

You’ll be a senior, hands‑on data engineer with strong experience across:

Databricks | Spark | Python | SQL | Delta Lake | Unity Catalog | DBT | Lakehouse | Medallion Architecture

Crucially, we’re interested in people who have worked on

large-scale migration and modernisation programmes , rather than purely BAU data engineering.

Experience building reusable engineering frameworks or migration accelerators will be particularly valuable.

The programme is also looking at how

GenAI and agentic AI can accelerate data migration and engineering .

Experience using AI for code conversion, refactoring, documentation, testing or workflow automation or building AI agents/engineering assistants is highly desirable.

The Hague, Netherlands

3 days onsite per week

If you're a senior Databricks engineer who enjoys solving

migration problems at scale , rather than simply building individual pipelines, we'd like to hear from you.
