Position summary:
As Rainforest Alliance we believe in the value of data. We want our organization and our stakeholders to be able to make data-informed decisions. Therefore, it is key that they can access the information they need in an easy, timely and digestible way.
To enable this, we've built a Data Analytics Platform (DAP) where Data Engineers ingest data from multiple sources, integrate and serve it as information to the end users. You will maintain, extend and scale the platform, while keeping it recoverable, secure, available and performant. Automation will be an important part of the job as well as uncovering ways to improve the platform. You will work close together with the Data Engineers in the Data Excellence team as well as the Platform Operations team. Another aspect is to adapt it as needed for new products (open data, ingestion of external sources, unstructured data, etc.).
We are looking for someone on the crossroads of platform ops and data engineering, with previous Azure experience. If you have most of the skills but not all of them, you are also invited to apply.

• Develop, maintain and improve automation of data pipelines and other supporting processes for the data platform;
• Performance tuning of the environment;
• Follow processes and maintain version control over the code assets within the data analytics platform;
• Be an active participant in the sprint planning and goal definition activities within the Data Excellence team.

Qualifications:
• Working experience with Azure Cloud, especially Dedicated SQL pools (SQL DW);
• Working experience with technical infrastructure of business intelligence platforms;
• Working experience as (SQL Server) DBA for a Data Warehouse environment;
• Minimum of 5 years of experience managing databases, database servers and their infrastructure;
