• Ensure data quality, traceability, reliability and appropriate security controls throughout the data lifecycle

DevOps, Automation & Release Management

• Implement and maintain Git-based development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing and deployment processes
• Develop monitoring, logging, error handling and data quality validation mechanisms for production data solutions
• Support production operations and ensure solutions are maintainable, well-documented and aligned with established platform standards

Qualifications For The Role

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Data Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of relevant hands-on data engineering experience, including substantial experience developing solutions on Snowflake
• Strong experience in data modeling, including relational, dimensional, logical and physical data model design
• Proven experience designing and developing scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and integrating data from multiple enterprise source systems
• Good programming skills in Python for data engineering, automation and integration

• Experience with Git, CI/CD practices, automated deployments and software engineering principles, preferably using Azure DevOps
• Good English communication skills; Finnish or Estonian language skills are considered an advantage
• Valid working permit to Finland or Estonia

Considered an advantage

• Experience with additional enterprise data platforms such as Databricks or Microsoft Fabric
• Experience with enterprise data governance, metadata management, data lineage and data product development
• Experience developing data solutions for manufacturing, industrial operations or global enterprise environments
