Hire Data Engineers in the Netherlands & Belgium.
Every AI ambition stands on data engineering, which is why data engineers remain the most consistently demanded profile we place. Noordt & Co. recruits senior data engineers across the Netherlands and Belgium for teams that need pipelines they can trust.
How do we recruit data engineers in the Netherlands and Belgium?
Every search is led by a consultant who understands the role technically. We qualify for modern ELT stacks (dbt, Airflow, Dagster), streaming with Kafka or Flink, lakehouse architectures on Databricks or Snowflake, infrastructure-as-code, and data modelling that analysts can actually use. You receive a calibrated shortlist, not a resume feed, and we share our market read either way. Engagements run as permanent search, secondment or contract, and under the Dutch DBA rules secondment is often the cleanest route to senior flexible capacity.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can we hire a data engineer in Amsterdam?
Most data engineering searches complete in 18–30 days. The market is deep but quality-sensitive: the difference between a pipeline builder and a platform thinker shows up within one interview if the interview is designed well.
What is a competitive data engineer salary in the Netherlands in 2026?
Indicative bases run €65,000–€105,000 for medior to senior data engineers, and €60,000–€95,000 in Belgium. Platform and streaming specialisms price at the top of those bands.
Can you build a full data team, not just one hire?
Yes. For multi-hire builds we typically run an RPO or project-based engagement so the process, employer story and pipeline compound across hires instead of restarting each time.
Do you cover Belgium as well as the Netherlands?
Yes. Our current business focus is the Netherlands and Belgium, with a candidate network that spans Europe as we expand.
