Introduction

Have you ever been staring at the sky at one of those blue KLM Airplanes and wondered what role data plays in making this possible? Our Data Engineers prepare a lot of the data that is needed to make sure we can fly our customer arounds the world. Whether you are saving money by predicting when an airplane part needs maintenance or optimizing our daily operations by helping our teams to make the best decisions in case of last minute changes, you enable all this by providing them with the data needed. As Data Engineer you get KLM ready for a future full of smart data solutions!

Once the solution is built, you ensure it gets operational and stays like that! This all of course in an agile environment.
