We are now looking for a
Data Engineer to join our team in Kokkola or Pori
About the role:
As a Data / Analytics Engineer you help build and maintain Smartvatten's cloud data platform. You bring data from various source systems into our Google Cloud / BigQuery data warehouse, model it into reliable, reusable datasets, and serve it to reporting (Qlik) and other consumers. We develop with AI as an everyday tool rather than a side project, and the warehouse you build is also the foundation the company's AI and analytics use cases are built on.
Key responsibilities:
Building data pipelines: ingesting data from source systems (e.g. Salesforce, NetSuite, MongoDB-based systems and SaaS APIs) into the BigQuery data warehouse.
Data modeling & transformation: developing SQL transformations in Dataform following our layered (bronze → silver → gold → reporting) medallion architecture.
Reporting datasets: building and maintaining the serve-layer tables and views consumed by Qlik dashboards and other reporting.
Data quality & documentation: writing tests/assertions, validating results, and documenting datasets and KPI definitions.
Collaboration: Work with the technology team and stakeholders to turn reporting and KPI needs into data solutions.
AI in practice: using AI-assisted development in your daily work and building the datasets that make AI and analytics use cases possible — including a governed dataset, free of personal data, that AI tools can query safely.
Skills and competences needed in this role:
Required / core
BSc/B.Eng. completed or ongoing in Computer Science, Data/Software Engineering or a related field — or equivalent demonstrable skills.
Working knowledge of SQL.
Basic programming skills, preferably Python.
Eagerness to learn cloud data technologies, attention to detail, and good communication skills in English.
Readiness to work with AI tools — either existing experience or a genuine willingness to learn. You do not need to have built AI systems; you do need to be interested in where they can be applied.
Technologies you will work with (prior experience is a strong plus, not required)
Google Cloud Platform, especially BigQuery — our central data warehouse.
The functions our data warehouse relies on: SQL-based data modeling, scheduled ingestion pipelines, and version-controlled transformations (Dataform, Git).
Data ingestion / ETL pipelines (e.g. Apache Beam / Dataflow), incl. reading from MongoDB / NoSQL sources.
Infrastructure as code (Terraform).
Considered an advantage
Qlik (Qlik Cloud / Qlik Sense) or other BI / data visualization tools.
