• Experience with Power BI or similar BI tools.

What you’ll do

• Design and implement data and model pipelines in Databricks, using Unity Catalog for governance and medallion architecture patterns to organise and serve reliable data.
• Apply an AI-first engineering mindset to create robust, scalable data foundations that are ready for future AI-driven manufacturing and supply chain use cases.

• Turn complex requirements into clear engineering priorities, identifying the critical path and making pragmatic decisions about what to solve now, what to simplify and what to develop further over time.
• Mentor and develop data engineers through design sparring, code reviews and practical coaching.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you will spend the majority of your time designing, building and improving solutions, while also providing technical guidance to less experienced engineers. You will work closely with the Lead Data Engineer and other senior technical colleagues, contributing to engineering direction while focusing on turning that direction into high-quality, working solutions.

Who you’ll work with

You will join Enterprise AI within Enterprise IT & Quality, where colleagues work across the Novo value chain, stay close to stakeholders and help deliver trusted technology and high quality. Your team is Supply Chain AI Solutions: a small, end-to-end team where data scientists and engineers work side by side, combining analytical depth with the engineering capability to bring solutions into production.

Your closest colleagues are the Tech Lead, the Lead Data Scientist and the AI Product Owner. You will also collaborate with engineers, architects, data scientists and business stakeholders in the Supply Chain organisation, acting as a senior technical contributor across teams. Together, you will make clear decisions, keep delivery moving and turn practical needs into better operational decisions.

The team is cloud-native, working with platforms such as Databricks, Azure and AWS. It values agility, diverse thinking and continuous learning, and its culture is built on feedback, honesty and fun. The role is based in Ballerup, Denmark.

What you can expect here

You will be trusted to take ownership, share your voice and shape how data engineering is built within Supply Chain AI Solutions. You will keep growing through continuous learning and career development, working on AI use cases at the forefront of technology, alongside colleagues who raise the bar with you.
