About ADC Consulting

ADC is a European data and AI consultancy with offices in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark. We help organisations turn data and AI into real impact, leading a mission to accelerate the responsible use of Data and AI. We partner with clients to achieve their goals through data-driven solutions across multiple industries: financial services, life sciences, healthcare, the public sector, retail, and transportation. Our collective brings together the full data value chain under one roof: Data Strategy: Turning buzzwords into clear, business‑aligned roadmaps. Data Engineering: Building secure, scalable, future‑proof data foundations. Analytics & Data Science: Creating AI‑powered tools and models that actually get used. Design & Visualisation: With our in‑house studio CLEVER°FRANKE, turning complex data into experiences people enjoy using. We're leveraging our expertise in data engineering, cloud architecture, and modern data platforms to help Life Science organisations build the data foundations they need to accelerate research, innovation, and patient impact. Our Life Sciences team is growing, and we are looking for a Data Engineer who is curious, technically driven, and eager to grow with us. As a Data Engineer, you will design and build scalable data pipelines that turn complex, high-volume datasets: from omics and imaging to clinical and experimental data into reliable, production-ready foundations for analytics and AI. You'll be part of a true collective, working alongside bioinformaticians, data scientists, AI engineers, and client stakeholders to deliver impact-driven solutions from early discovery through to production deployment.

Where you’ll make an impact

Data Pipeline Development & Engineering

Technical Delivery & Tooling

• Contribute to and implement solutions using Databricks and modern data engineering frameworks.
• Support projects end-to-end, from early discovery and design through to production deployment.

Collaboration & Collective Development

• Collaborate closely with bioinformaticians, data scientists, AI engineers, and client stakeholders to co-create solutions that work in practice.
• Share knowledge internally and contribute to ADC's thought leadership in Life Sciences data and AI.
