Senior (Lead) Data Platform Engineer

About the job

We are looking for a Senior (Lead) Data Platform Engineer to join our Helsinki team. We are establishing an exciting new team with multiple openings and are open to both Senior and Lead levels of experience.

About the role

At Sievo, data is everything — we process more than 2% of global GDP in spend, and turning data at that scale into dependable products takes a serious engineering foundation. Now, we are establishing a new team to take responsibility of a central data platform that is to be the foundation for all products’ and teams’ data needs. As a Data Platform Engineer, you will build the architecture and systems that foundation is made of: controlled and reproducible environments, best practices for reliable pipelines that process and package large datasets, and the automation and quality checks that keep everything trustworthy as the system scales.

This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, software engineering, and platform ownership. You will design and build architecture and systems that support the various needs of our data pipelines, data products, and multiple engineering teams working with the platform. You know how to build and manage solid environments and infrastructure for data pipelines, can help other teams design maintainable pipelines, and apply solid software engineering practices — version control, testing, automation, and reproducibility — so the products built on top are dependable. Think of it as a data engineer with a product-development mindset and the engineering rigor of a software engineer.
