At DATAPAO, data ignites passion, community fuels collaboration, and growth knows no bounds. We are a leading Data Engineering and AI consulting company backed by Databricks and recognized for our unmatched delivery standards and rapid growth. We have been named Databricks EMEA Emerging Business Partner of the Year (2024), achieved the Golden Tier status in the Databricks Partner Program, and made three consecutive appearances on the Financial Times FT1000 list.
We are currently looking for passionate early-career professionals and recent graduates to join our October cohort for an intensive, 6-month training program to become Data Engineering (with Databricks) Consultants.
We don’t expect you to be a Data Engineer on day one, but we do expect you to have the drive to become one. Upon completing the program, you’ll work within our EMEA and US customer teams to help them solve their data engineering, ML, MLOps, GenAI, LLMOps, and cloud migration puzzles.
DATAPAO's Data Engineering Academy is a 6-month intensive training program launching in early October 2026. It is designed to scale you up into a top-notch Data Engineer (with Databricks) Consultant.
The program is put together and run by consultants and technical Instructors who have delivered Databricks projects and enabled data professionals across EMEA for years. This means you will have the opportunity to learn from the world-class consultants and instructors who built DATAPAO's Gold Partner legacy within the Databricks Partner Ecosystem.
Phase 1 (Month 1-3)
This will be a high-intensity learning phase. You’ll follow a bi-weekly sprint model: one week of deep-dive technical classes, followed by one or two weeks of hands-on project delivery. You’ll master the stack we use for our global clients, specifically Apache Spark and Databricks on AWS/Azure.
Phase 2 (Months 4-6)
During this period, you’ll gradually move into complex capstone projects and also start shadowing our senior consultants on real-life engagements. The phase focuses on building your consulting skills by delivering simulated projects and shadowing real calls to observe how we navigate requirements and advise stakeholders. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to internal strategic projects, eg. building an automatic migration tool.
Post-Graduation
Once you graduate, you’ll officially join our project teams. Over time, as your seniority grows, you’ll transition into delivering and/or leading complex end-to-end projects across our entire global portfolio.
What does it take to fit the bill?
- You have solid engineering foundations: a BSc or MSc (preferably in a STEM field) and a good grasp of coding in either Python or Java. This is essential, as the program is optimized to level you up in Data Engineering rather than teach basic programming.
- You have proven work experience: at least 1 long-term internship completed (ideally in Software Engineering, BI Development, or a similar field) or real-life work experience as a Software or Data Engineer (but ideally not more than 18 months). While we value work experience greatly, the program is focused on enabling Junior, high-potential talent to become world-class consultants rather than modeling already well-established ways of working.
- You thrive to learn new things: be it technical knowledge or soft skills. As a Junior, we'd expect that curiosity is your second nature. That, coupled with a good level of self-knowledge, will set you up for success in our environment.
- You love solving problems & naturally take ownership: a complex puzzle doesn't make you anxious but rather motivates you to do your best work. And this is because you believe that impact should not be judged in years of experience but in one's commitment and ability to step up and stretch beyond their job title.
- You are a strong communicator & fluent in English: meaning that you can adjust your communication style and articulate complex technical concepts (in English) to all types of audiences.
What do we offer?
- Educational benefits: We invest heavily in your growth from day one. You’ll spend the first 6 months mastering the core pillars of Data Engineering and earning your Databricks certifications through a high-intensity curriculum. This focus on learning doesn’t end here. After you graduate, you’ll have full access to Databricks’ internal and public courses, our internal library, and dedicated learning time during work hours. We also fully fund your professional data and cloud certifications throughout the program and your entire career with us.
- PTO and Working Hours: During the program, your working hours and PTO will be aligned with the curriculum to ensure you and your cohort get the most out of the training. Once you complete the program, you will transition to our standard flexible PTO and working hours scheme.
- Office and Remote Setup: As we believe that high-intensity learning and team integration happen best in person, the first 3 months of the program will be on-site in our Budapest office, which will move to a hybrid setup for the second half of the program. Once you graduate, you will transition to our standard flexible office policy, where we’d expect you to spend one day per week in the office on average.
- Private Medical Insurance: We provide a private medical package via Generali.
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Through EAP, we offer our employees access to psychological, financial, and legal consulting services via phone or in person.
- Top-notch working equipment: Working comfortably means working well. Therefore, you will get a MacBook, a Herman Miller office chair, and standing desks in the office, and whatever else is needed to give your best.
- The chance to make an impact in a high-transparency culture: Open feedback and a no-politics environment are highly valued at DATAPAO. Additionally, you'll get the chance to make real impact in a rapidly growing tech company, to work with cutting-edge technologies, and to help some of the biggest and most innovative companies in the world sort out their data puzzles.
- A cozy and modern office in the heart of Budapest: Located in a vibrant, central part of the city (Opera/Oktogon), it's designed to foster focus, creativity, and team connection. You'll find open spaces for group work, quiet corners for deep thinking, and plenty of natural light. It’s well-stocked with snacks, drinks, coffee, and beverages. Optional Friday evening beers, movie, and poker nights with the team are also on us.
The base salary for this position is 900,000 HUF gross/month. Additionally, you will receive a 750,000 HUF gross bonus at the end of each quarter (dependent on program milestones completion) up until your first work anniversary.
We will kick-off the selection process in mid-May for our upcoming October 2026 cohort.
This program requires EU citizenship or a valid right to work in Hungary. We do not currently offer sponsorship or visa transfers (including Skilled Worker visas). Applicants must have the legal right to work on a full-time basis to be considered for the program.

We are currently looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join us remotely in Spain. You will work with our EMEA and US customers to help them solve their data engineering, ML, ML Ops, and cloud migration puzzles.
"As a Data Engineer at DATAPAO, you will have the unique opportunity to push the boundaries of technology and lead the way in how data transforms the world. We work with customers who want to innovate and change their industries. So it never gets boring! Sorting out a complex technical puzzle, setting up a new data architecture from scratch, or guiding our customers through adopting the latest technologies is our routine here. Hence, we'd expect you to be more than just a (data) engineer. We'd expect you to breathe and live data, to thrive for knowledge and excellence, and to be keen to build something enduring and impactful for our customers. We'd expect you to be a (data) Paoneer!" (Máté Gulyás, CEO)
What will you do?
As a Senior Data Engineer, you are expected to deliver (across industries) on some of our most complex projects - individually or by leading small delivery teams. Although we work for the biggest multinational companies where years-long behemoth projects are the norm, our projects are fast-paced, typically 2 to 4 months long. Most are delivered using Apache Spark/Databricks on AWS/Azure and require you to directly manage the customer relationship alone or in collaboration with a Project Manager. Additionally, at this seniority level, we expect you to compound your impact across the team and the organization - by supporting our pre-sales process, mentoring more junior engineers, and contributing to hiring best-in-class data talent.
What does it take to fit the bill?
Technical Expertise
- You (ideally) have 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering, with a focus on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP);
- You have a proven track record working with Databricks (PySpark, SQL, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog);
- You have extensive experience in ETL/ELT development and data pipeline orchestration (e.g., Databricks Workflows, DLT, Airflow, ADF, Glue, and Step Functions.);
- You’re proficient in SQL and Python, using them to transform and optimize data like a pro;
- You know your way around CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep);
- You’ve hands-on experience integrating Databricks with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker).
Consulting & Client-Facing Skills
- Ideally, you bring a proven history in consulting, from scoping to gathering requirements, designing solutions, and communicating effectively with stakeholders. If you bring a product company background with you, that's also fine as long as you can show a good consulting mindset and desire to be customer-facing;
- You’ve successfully delivered projects like Data Lakehouse buildouts and cloud data migrations;
- You excel in explaining technical concepts to non-technical audiences and drive decision-making.
Operational Readiness & Soft Skills
- You’re (almost) ready to hit the ground running, immediately contributing to live client projects;
- In a fast-paced consulting environment, where no two days are the same, flexibility and problem-solving comes naturally to you. Furthermore, resilience and thriving on challenges are essential traits in our industry;
- Your communication skills are on point—whether you’re writing, speaking, or collaborating with stakeholders, you know how to keep everyone in the loop.
What do we offer?
You'll have the rare opportunity to join DATAPAO at a time when you can still meaningfully impact our growth trajectory and organizational success. Furthermore, as our first-ever Spain hire, you could meaningfully contribute to expanding our local presence and, eventually, establishing a physical hub in this geography.
Surely, we know everyone needs a little something to do their best work. Here is a list of some other extras we offer:
-
The chance to work remotely - as we don't have a physical office in Spain yet, we offer a fully remote setup for the time being. However, given our strong community emphasis, we'd expect you to spend one month in our Budapest hub during onboarding and visit the office for one week every quarter;
-
World-class educational benefits - there’s no shortage of learning opportunities at DATAPAO, meaning that you'll get access to Databricks' public and internal courses to learn all the tricks of Distributed Data Processing, MLOps, Apache Spark, Databricks, and Cloud Migration from the best. Additionally, we'll pay for various data & cloud certifications, you'll get dedicated time for learning during work hours, and access to our internal library;
-
Flexible PTO days - we’re flexible with how many days you take off if that does not conflict with customer success and the work getting done;
-
Fully paid Medical Leave for up to 15 days per year - because when you’re unwell, we want you to focus on recovery and not worry about your paycheck;
-
Comprehensive private health insurance plan via Allianz - offered via our EOR (Employer of Record) provider, Remote.com. Remote will be your official employer in Spain for the foreseeable future until we establish our own legal entity in Spain;
-
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) via Allianz & Remote - life always happens! And we'd like to be there for you when it counts the most. Through EAP, we offer our employees access to psychology, financial, and legal consulting services via phone or in person;
-
Top-notch working equipment - working comfortably means working well. You will get a MacBook Pro and a sign-up bonus of 500 EUR gross (to be paid with your first payroll) to set up your home office or whatever else is needed to give your best;
- The chance to make an impact in a high-transparency culture - open feedback and no politics are things we value a lot at DATAPAO. Additionally, you'll get the chance to work in the field of data & AI and shape the future of a rapidly growing tech company.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Given that we are still sorting our way in Spain, this list will likely get an update in the following months, and we're also committed to growing it with us over time.
The gross salary for this position ranges from 70.000 to 80.000 EUR/year, depending on your assessed seniority level during the selection process.
Please note that currently we are unable to support transfer or offer full sponsorship for Skilled Worker visas as we’re just setting foot into Spain.

Additionally, at this seniority level, we expect you to compound your impact across the team and the organization - by mentoring more junior engineers, evaluating the quality of their work, and contributing to hiring best-in-class data engineers.
What does it take to fit the bill?
- Consultant mindset & passion for customer experience - you prioritize your work with the customer in mind and you seek to advise (rather than purely execute) your customers on the best-in-class technical solutions;

- Mentoring skills & strong predisposition to knowledge-sharing - are things that excite you. We consider ourselves a learning organization and believe that these are meaningful tools for one to compound his/her impact across the team and the organization. Thus technical mentoring and/or people management hands-on experience is a big plus;
- You thrive when having to solve problems & take ownership - you solve problems on your own and advise (or coordinate) others on how to do the same. Moreover, you love stepping up as a technical lead or identifying organizational gaps and filling them in - being an organizational process or documentation gap, a customer communication miss-match, or a resource allocation deficiency;
-
You are fluent in English and willing to travel (mainly in the EU and normally within a short business trip setup) up to 15% of your time.

Apply to DATAPAO
At DATAPAO, data ignites passion, community fuels collaboration, and growth knows no bounds. We are a leading Data Engineering and AI consulting company backed by Databricks and recognized for our unmatched delivery standards and rapid growth. We have been named Databricks EMEA Emerging Business Partner of the Year (2024), achieved the Golden Tier status in the Databricks Partner Program, and made three consecutive appearances on the Financial Times FT1000 list.
We are currently looking for a well-versed (Senior) Data Scientist to join the team to deliver consulting expertise our EMEA and US-based customers.
What (exactly) will you do?
As a (Senior) Data Scientist, your responsibilities will span across the following dimensions:
Project Planning & Delivery
In the planning phase of a project, you're expected to lead or participate in scoping the engagement, designing high-level architecture, defining subtasks, and project delivery schedules. After the planning phase is over, you'll deliver the project on your own or within a mixed DS/DE team setup where you'll oftentimes take the role of a technical lead. Furthermore, during the project delivery, you will be client-facing, acting as DATAPAO's interface or SPOC to our customers.
During non-delivery cycles, you will provide ML/DS consultancy to technical teams for our EMEA customers. Our customers are either direct DATAPAO customers or coming via our Databricks partnership.
Data Science & AI consultancy
As a consultant, you will work closely with Databricks and cloud providers to understand the needs and requirements of clients. Based on your understanding, you will recommend solutions that leverage Databricks or native cloud features. Additionally, you will be responsible for conducting workshops to enable clients on these platforms.
Internal Solution Development
Besides customer projects, you’ll also work on internal solution development and research initiatives. Furthermore, you will be expected to grow your industry-specific knowledge and learn new technologies & methodologies by participating in the Data Science Group and by delivering solutions for internal usage.
Wider Organizational Initiatives
Occasionally, you can participate in developing Data Science and Machine Learning courseware (for our Education arm) to be delivered to customers or internal teams. You could also add value by providing technical (pre-sales) support for our Sales Team or creating content for marketing and sales.
Last but not least, if you would like to and have the required people skills, you can mentor other members of the data science guild. This includes regular tech mentorship meetings, one-on-ones, knowledge sharing sessions, and participation in performance reviews among others.
What does it take to fit the bill?
Soft Skills
- Strong consultant mindset & passion for customer experience - customer success is your default mindset. Hence, you go the extra mile and seek to advise (rather than purely execute) your customers on the best-in-class technical solutions even when inconvenient;
- Excellent communication & presentation skills - you can adjust your communication style, and articulate complex, technical concepts and data stories to all types of audiences, and translate between business and technical people;
- Ability to deliver data science projects - you're capable of leading a team of data scientists/engineers in data science-heavy projects. You must be able to fully understand and translate business requirements, deliver them together with the team, and explain the proposed solution(s) to a non-technical/business audience;
- You thrive when having to solve problems & take ownership - you solve problems on your own and guide others on how to do the same. Moreover, you love stepping up as a technical lead or identifying organizational gaps and filling them in - being an organizational process or documentation gap, a customer communication miss-match, or a resource allocation deficiency;
- You are fluent in English and willing to travel (mainly in the EU and generally within a short business trip setup) up to 10% of your time;
- [BONUS] Mentoring skills & a predisposition to knowledge-sharing - are things that excite you. We consider ourselves a learning organization and believe these are meaningful tools for one to compound his/her impact across the team. Thus, technical mentoring and/or people management hands-on experience is a big plus.
Tech Skills
- Solid software engineering foundations (git, clean code principles, OO programming, etc.);
- Strong Python knowledge of the most common DS libraries;
- Understanding Large Language Models (LLMs) and familiarity with their frameworks/libraries;
- Advanced knowledge in cloud technologies, preferably in Azure or AWS;
- Proficiency in any deep learning framework;
- Good knowledge of data visualization tools/libraries;
- [BONUS] Experience with distributed computing, preferably Spark;
- [BONUS] Experience with MLOps;
- [BONUS] Experience with Databricks.
What do we offer?
- Educational benefits - there’s no shortage of learning opportunities at DATAPAO, meaning that you'll get access to Databricks' public and internal courses to learn all the tricks of Distributed Data Processing, MLOps, Apache Spark, Databricks, and Cloud Migration from the best. Additionally, we'll pay for various data & cloud certifications. You'll also get dedicated time for learning during work hours and access to our internal library.
-
Flexible PTO and Working Hours - we’re flexible about your working routine and how many days you take off if it does not conflict with customer success, company goals, and getting the work done.
-
Flexible Office - it is up to you which days you spend in the office. However, as a strong community is one of DATAPAO's value propositions, we’d expect you to spend one day per week in the office on average.
-
30 Calendar Days of Paternity Leave (if applicable) - we think it’s essential for both parents to be there when it matters the most.
-
Private Medical Insurance - we provide a private medical package via Generali. Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Through EAP, we offer our employees access to psychological, financial, and legal consulting services via phone or in person.
-
Top-notch working equipment - working comfortably means working well. Therefore, you will get a MacBook, a Herman Miller office chair, standing desks in the office, and whatever else is needed to give your best.
-
The chance to make an impact in a high-transparency culture - open feedback and a no-politics environment are things we value a lot at DATAPAO. Additionally, you'll get the chance to shape the future of a rapidly growing tech company, to work with cutting-edge technologies, and to help some of the biggest and most innovative companies in the world sort out their data puzzles.
-
A cozy and modern office in the heart of Budapest - located in a vibrant, central part of the city (Opera/Oktogon), it's designed to foster focus, creativity, and team connection.
