Job Title

Senior Python Software Engineer

Job Description

Join the Squad Delivery Insights Dashboard team as we provide performance insights to hundreds of Rabobank squads. We are looking for a senior software engineer with strong engineering fundamentals to help build the core components of our data platform. Whether your primary background is in Python or another modern software engineering ecosystem, we value excellence in software design, engineering practices, and building maintainable systems. We are looking for someone who takes initiative, is eager to learn new skills, communicates openly, and thrives in a collaborative environment.

You & your role

Create clean, reliable, and reusable software components and services that power ingestion, transformation, and data-driven products. You're not a "data engineer"; you're a software craftsman in a data environment. You build reusable, scalable, and high-quality components that make our data platform robust and future-proof.

While our current implementation is built in Python, we believe that strong software engineering practices, design patterns, and architectural thinking are transferable across technologies. Therefore, we welcome experienced software engineers from different language backgrounds who are willing to learn and work with Python.

Examples for practices

Build modular Python packages using modern engineering patterns and practices.
Own artifact management end-to-end, including publishing, versioning and governance.
Develop reusable components that fit into our Medallion Architecture.
Integrate APIs aligned with OpenAPI standards and resilient design patterns.
Ensure high code quality through testing, automation, linting, scanning, and robust CI/CD pipelines.
Work across our technology stack: Azure Synapse, Databricks, cloud storage (ADLS/S3), and containerized environments.
Improve developer experience through standardization, shared components, and engineering best practices.
Contribute to our transition toward a platform-agnostic, modernized data architecture.

Facts & figures

36 hours per week
Work with technologies including Python, Spark/PySpark, Azure Synapse, Databricks, and cloud storage platforms.
9.5 million customers worldwide

Top 3 responsibilities

Build reusable, scalable Python packages and services that support data ingestion, transformation, and product development across the organisation.
Ensure high engineering standards through automated testing, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, governance practices, and continuous quality improvements.
Collaborate with engineers, architects, and platform teams to modernise data capabilities and improve developer experience across the technology landscape.

Together we achieve more than alone

We believe in the power of differences. It is precisely by combining people's differences that we become an even better bank. We are curious about what you add to our team of Squad Metron

The eight engineers of Squad Metron build and maintain the Squad Delivery Insights Dashboard that provides insights into Squad Performance for hundreds of squads within Rabobank. Collaboration is our approach; as Squad Metron, we create and evolve shared services and standards that accelerate innovation. Collaboration is our way of working; as one results-oriented team within Rabobank. We value continuous learning, technical excellence, and knowledge sharing. Together, we encourage experimentation while maintaining a strong focus on quality and reliability.

Work on yourself and the world around you at the same time

For us, your development and that of society go hand in hand. That's why we want to invest in you and work together for a better world. We summarise this in one sentence: 'At Rabobank, you work on yourself and the world around you at the same time. You'll see this reflected in your personal development budget, our hybrid working environment, and a healthy balance between work and home. You can work on banking services for our private and business customers, as well as societal issues such as food and energy transitions.

Why everyone is welcome at Rabobank
