There is something special about being first. First in the room. First to build. First to help shape what comes next.
That is exactly the opportunity in front of us as we expand into Portugal and begin building our team in Lisbon. We are now hiring for two of our first Portugal-based roles: Senior Data Engineering Consultants and Senior AI Consultants. For the right people, this is more than just another consulting job. It is a chance to help build something meaningful from the ground up, and to be part of a new chapter from the very beginning.
At Advancing Analytics, we have built our reputation by helping organisations do more with their data, analytics and AI. We are proud to be a Databricks Gold Brickbuilder Partner, and our roots as a Microsoft Partner in Analytics & AI remain a big part of who we are. Over time, we have also expanded our ecosystem through partnerships with AWS, Sigma and Tabular Editor, giving both our clients and our team even more ways to solve the right problems in the right way.
Lisbon feels like a natural place for us to put down roots because of the strength of the technical community already there. It is a city with real energy behind it, and a growing community of people doing exciting work in data, engineering and AI. For us, that makes it a brilliant place to meet exceptional people, build new connections, and create opportunities for talented consultants to do meaningful work with clients across Europe and North America.
Community has always been a big part of who we are. We do not want to simply arrive, hire a few people and keep to ourselves. We want to get involved, support the conversations already happening in Lisbon, and help create more opportunities for data and AI practitioners to learn from one another.
That is already starting to take shape. We are working with Databricks on the Lisbon Databricks User Group, with organisers in place and plans underway for upcoming community events. Alongside our new Lisbon office location, coming soon, that sense of local connection will be an important part of what we build there.
For candidates in Lisbon, the opportunity is simple. You get the backing of an established specialist consultancy with customers across Europe and North America, but you also get the rare chance to join early and have real influence. You will not be walking into a crowded office where everything has already been decided. You will help shape the team, the culture, and the way we grow in Portugal.
You will work on ambitious client challenges across modern data platforms and AI, with particular depth in Databricks, Azure and AWS. At the same time, you will be joining a team that values flexibility and trusts people to do their best work in a way that works for them. All of our Lisbon roles are designed with flexibility around office time while still being based locally.
Culture matters just as much as capability. We want brilliant people, but we also want kind people. Our values are a huge part of who we are: come as you are, zero burnout, transparency, and a belief that we all level up together.
We care about high standards, but we also care about people having a voice from day one. We want people to feel supported, trusted and able to grow. If you are looking for somewhere that takes the work seriously without taking itself too seriously, there is a good chance you will feel at home here.
Marc Garraway, Chief Operating Officer at Advancing Analytics, said:
“Expanding into Portugal is a big moment for us, but what matters most is doing it in the right way. We are not just opening up roles in a new location. We are building a team, investing in the local data and AI community, and creating opportunities for great people to do some of the best work of their careers. Lisbon gives us access to exceptional talent, a brilliant tech scene, and a strong base for our continued growth across Europe. If you are ambitious, technically strong, and want to help shape something from the ground up, I’d love to hear from you.”
If you are a senior data engineer or AI consultant based in Lisbon, and you want to join a company where you can make a real mark, this is a brilliant time to start the conversation.
