Whatever you call yourself, you'll join Terminal.exe, All Your BI's AI-native data platform for container terminal operators, and build the core of it: the pipelines and data model that turn fragmented, hard-to-trust terminal data into something operators run their day on.

About us

All Your BI is a remote-first data agency based in Rotterdam. Since 2019 we've grown from a boutique consultancy into an international data team of more than 60 data heroes spread across Europe. We deliver managed BI services for logistics and industrial companies, helping reduce data waste and move businesses forward. We live for the WOW moment, that sparkle in users' eyes when they gain new insights and discover opportunities.

About Terminal.exe

Terminal.exe is All Your BI's SaaS platform for container terminals. It unifies fragmented data, TOS, maintenance, gate, sensors, into one governed model, so every site works from the same numbers instead of rebuilding its own reporting from scratch. The platform is growing fast. You'll help shape the engineering foundations that need to scale next: multi-tenant data architecture, near-real-time pipelines from 24/7 operations, and a standardized data model that works across terminals worldwide.

What the job looks like

You will design and build the pipelines that move data from terminal operating systems (such as Navis N4) into our platform, and the transformation layer that turns raw operational data into curated, documented datasets.

Concretely, you will work on:
* ELT pipelines from on-premises terminal databases into our Azure-based platform, with near-real-time refresh (3-minute microbatch) for operational reporting and daily batch for analytics. Extraction uses watermark-based incremental queries over Kafka (Azure Event Hubs) to PostgreSQL staging.

You will work directly with terminal operations staff, without intermediate layers.

What you bring
* Attitude and experience:curiosity and a genuine appetite for architectural ownership, and 5+ years of data engineering experience, including end-to-end ownership of production data platforms. This is a product under active development, we need you comfortable deciding, not just executing.

Tips for South African Applicants

Timezone Advantage

South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.

Salary in Context

Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
