Job description

Overview

At Norrin, we’re shaping the era of Enterprise Intelligence. Our vision is to transform business productivity through data & AI by creating solutions that deliver measurable impact. As a Microsoft technology partner, we are at the forefront of reshaping how businesses operate across the Nordics. What defines us is deep technical expertise, a creative engineering mindset, and a people-first culture. At Norrin, you’ll have the chance to grow in a direction that matters to you while building solutions that make a real difference. Our story began when Cloud1, Devisioona, and Smartbi united. Together, we are Norrin.

As a Data Architect, you’ll be part of our expert team, designing and developing modern, scalable data solutions in exciting client projects - leveraging the best of Microsoft’s technologies like Azure, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric.

You’ll get to work hands-on while also contributing to architecture decisions, data governance, and reporting solutions. Depending on your role allocation and client needs, you may work on one or more projects simultaneously. You’ll collaborate closely with our team and clients - sometimes guiding and coaching, other times diving into development work yourself.

We’ll shape the focus of your role together based on your strengths and interests. Whether your passion lies in solution design, technical architecture, or both - you’ll find space to influence, grow, and thrive at Norrin.

What your role consists of

• Designing and developing data platforms and integrations
• Defining data models and architectural structures
• Ensuring solution-level data security and governance
• Planning deployment and continuous development together with clients and development teams

Why Norrin?

• People-first culture: A workplace where you can be yourself. Our culture is built on openness, equality, and mutual respect.
• Flexible working model: Our hybrid model offers the best of both worlds – flexibility in your daily life and in-person collaboration when it moves things forward.
• Well-being benefits: Extensive occupational health and dental care, insurance coverage, regular massages, and culture and sports benefits.
• Fair compensation: A competitive base salary, performance-based bonus, and the option to join our personnel fund.
• Grow with us: We encourage continuous learning and development in a direction that matters to you. We offer diverse training and certification opportunities, as well as our Guild communities where knowledge is shared and built together.

What we’re looking for

You\'ll do well in this role if you have experience in several of the following areas:

• Azure data platforms (e.g., Data Lake, Synapse, SQL, Data Factory)
• Microsoft Fabric and/or Databricks
• Programming skills (PySpark, SQL), version control, and CI/CD (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions)
• Knowledge of data modeling approaches (dimensional, lakehouse, medallion)
• Understanding of data governance practices
• Basic proficiency in Power BI
• Experience building data solutions in large enterprise environments
• Familiarity with Azure security, networking, and access management principles
• Fluent skills in both Finnish and English

In addition, depending on your focus

If your strength is solution architecture:

• Experience modeling business-driven data requirements
• Understanding of data quality and governance
• Designing data-driven decision-making solutions
• DBT expertise
• Certifications like DP-600 or DP-700

If your focus is platform architecture:

• In-depth knowledge of Azure and Microsoft Fabric architecture
• Experience with data security, networking models, and access control
• Ability to align solutions with client IT environments
• Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
• Certifications like DP-600 or DP-700

Could this be your next step?

We’d love to hear from you! We will move forward in the recruitment process as soon as we find the right person, so please apply without delay.
