Xebia Data offers you great benefits too, of course!
We follow a hybrid work model – we work at client sites, in our own office in Eindhoven (Willemstraat 1K – just around the corner of de Kleine Berg!), and from home. While flexibility is important, coming to the office is essential for building the close-knit team we are. We value team cohesion, knowledge, personal development, innovation, and fun. We strive for authority in everything we do. At most companies, you'll see similar statements, but at Xebia Data, we back this up with concrete benefits:
- A generous salary, mobility, and tech budget We offer an above average compensation. The monthly mobility budget can be spent on leasing a car, leasing the e-bike of your dreams, or on travelling by train. The tech budget includes taking over your work items for a small contribution after a certain time, and the choice of the laptop and phone is all yours.
- Development budget This budget includes €5,000 per year and 6 days of dedicated development time – it's your job to spend it on anything that will make you a better data professional. Some of us are going to the AI engineering conference in London this year (https://www.ai.engineer/europe).
- Innovation Days Every month we spend a full day on innovation (on company time). You can choose to work on whatever and with whomever. Want to invite a friend from outside? No problem. These days mostly take place in our Amsterdam Oostenburg office, but some will be in Eindhoven as well.
- Conferences and Speaking Attending and speaking at relevant conferences doesn't come out of your vacation time. Speaking at conferences also does not come out of your development budget.
- Unlimited Book Budget Feed your curiosity and keep learning – order any work-related books you want, on our dime.
- A modern office in Eindhoven, just 8 minutes walking from the station!
- Great Community We're heavily involved in our community by sponsoring, hosting, and organizing events. We are proud to sponsor PyData Eindhoven every year.

Fridays are office days, meant for innovation or working from the office for your client. This always includes good coffee and a free tasty lunch that you enjoy together with your colleagues. A spacious office at a great location in the city centre of Eindhoven. Just an 8-minute walk from Eindhoven Central Station. Sandbox Environments ☁️ Build, test, and experiment with anything you want in our Azure, GCP and AWS sandbox environments.
