Job DescriptionEver wondered what it feels like to be a Data Engineer (Senior-Lead) in Netcompany ?
Joining us as a Data Engineer (Senior-Lead), you will lead a small team of Cloud Data Management and Data Lake Engineers in our Data Intelligence & AI practice, designing and delivering cloud-native data lakes, lakehouses and medallion-architecture solutions on Azure, AWS or Databricks. You will stay close to the code, drive engineering quality, and embed AI coding assistants and agentic workflows into how the team works — while mentoring the engineers you lead and taking full ownership of client engagement delivery.
As a Data Engineer (Senior-Lead) you will:
- Lead a small team of Cloud Data Management and Data Lake Engineers delivering client engagements — planning, prioritisation, code reviews and mentoring.
- Own delivery of your engagements end-to-end: scope, estimates, milestones, risks, quality and client communication.
- Design and build cloud-native data lakes and lakehouses (Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg) using medallion architecture on Azure, AWS or Databricks, with robust ELT/ETL pipelines, data models and quality / observability controls.
- Adopt and promote AI coding assistants and agentic workflows inside your team.
- Support the Senior Manager on solution design, technical estimations and pre-sales activities; align with sector / account stakeholders.
- Apply engineering best practices — version control, CI/CD for data, IaC, DataOps, security and governance — and collaborate with AI/ML, BI and application teams as needed.
What would make you a fit for the role:
- Solid data engineering experience, including experience leading small teams or workstreams.
- Hands-on with at least one major cloud data platform — Azure, AWS or Databricks — including data lake / lakehouse design.
- Good SQL and Python, with experience in ELT/ETL, data modelling, Spark and workflow orchestration.
- Experience designing for performance, cost, security and data quality in cloud environments.
- Strong communication and coaching mindset for the engineers you lead.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Data Science or a related field.
It would also be a plus if you match some of the following:
- Hands-on use of AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot-class tools).
- Experience with dbt for in-warehouse / in-lakehouse transformations, or exposure to Microsoft Fabric.
- Familiarity with data governance platforms (Unity Catalog, Microsoft Purview, Collibra or Atlan).
- Experience with BI tooling (Power BI, Tableau, Qlik) or streaming technologies.
Being a part of the Netcompany team, you will be provided with:
- The opportunity to work in a modern environment & in a hybrid working model
- A seamless onboarding experience and a buddy to support you on your first steps
- A competitive compensation & benefits package
- Health and life insurance program
- Meal and commuting allowance
- Well-being activities (on premises)
- Continuous learning opportunities using the most modern methods (unlimited access to Udemy for Business, ad-hoc trainings)
- A personalized development plan for targeted career growth

By joining Netcompany in Athens, you will be part of a vivid team of 2,300+ tech professionals. When at the office, you'll have the flexibility to work from our three modern, sustainable, and state-of-the-art offices!
