Build scalable metadata solutions that support automated lineage for 40 hours per week, helping thousands of engineers worldwide trust and understand enterprise data flows.

You & your role

Build and scale Rabobank’s Enterprise Data Lineage capability as a Data Platform Engineer. You develop automated, cloud-native metadata ingestion using OpenLineage standards and enable engineering teams to integrate reliable, standardized technical metadata across platforms in a complex international banking environment.

Examples from practice

• Scale the OpenLineage implementation by integrating metadata from applications, data services, and platforms across the analytical landscape.
• Build and evolve a technical metadata landing zone using open and interoperable metadata formats.
• Develop automated ingestion, transformation, and validation pipelines to remove manual onboarding for engineering teams.

Facts & figures

• 36 or 40 hours per week.
• Over 49,000 Rabobank colleagues worldwide.

Top 3 responsibilities

• Build scalable ingestion pipelines and reusable connectors that support automated technical metadata capture across multiple platforms and environments.
• Enable internal engineering teams with tooling, guidance, and hands-on support to accelerate metadata onboarding and improve lineage quality.
• Improve observability, resilience, and performance of metadata pipelines to ensure stable operations across enterprise-scale data platforms.

You contribute hands-on to the design and operation of OpenLineage-based metadata solutions, working closely with platform and application teams to strengthen enterprise-wide lineage adoption at scale.

Together we achieve more than alone
