🚀 Team of Senior Contract Data Engineers for Global AI Transformation Programme (Start Now!) – FREELANCE / CONTRACT (DACH-focused)

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are building a large-scale new data programme for an international consultancy specialising in AI transformation. This is a greenfield, high-impact initiative with a major global end client.

  • The Scale: You will help build the data backbone for one of the largest enterprise AI transformation programmes currently running.
  • The Rates: Direct relationship with the end client allows for excellent, senior-level day rates.
  • The Impact: You are not just closing tickets; you are designing and implementing data pipelines and architecture that enable real-world AI/ML use cases.

WHO WE NEED (MUST-HAVES)

We are looking for experienced contractors who can step into complex environments and deliver value from Day 1:

  • Senior Data Engineer (5+ years in data engineering / big data projects).
  • Strong skills in Python, SQL and Spark (ideally PySpark).

  • Experience with modern data stack tools: Airflow, Kafka, dbt, CI/CD pipelines.
  • Proven track record preparing and orchestrating data for ML / AI models in enterprise environments is a big plus.
  • Previous experience as a freelancer / contractor (working with business stakeholders, distributed teams, clean documentation).

CONTRACT SETUP

For this programme we are strictly considering:

  • âś… Freelancers / independent contractors (based in Germany or wider DACH region).
  • âś… Self-employed professionals / single-member companies / small GmbHs (direct or via one intermediate).
  • ❌ No permanent employment contracts.
  • ❌ No pure third-party agencies or pass-through setups.

KEY DETAILS

  • Start Dates: Within the next 2-3 weeks (immediate availability essential).
  • Workload: Full-time (ideally 4–5 days per week).
  • Duration: Long-term engagement with extension options.
  • Location: Remote-first; occasional on-site visits possible by agreement.

  • Your current CV / project list.
  • Your expected daily rate (remote and, if applicable, on-site).
