• Senior-level experience: You have a proven track record as an Analytics Engineer, Data Infrastructure Engineer, or in a similar capacity, ideally within a high-growth tech or e-commerce environment.

• Pioneering Spirit: You are comfortable working in a "start-up" mode within a larger organization. You don’t just write code; you design systems and set technical direction for the future.
• Language skills: Fluency in English is required as we are an international team working across multiple Nordic markets, and documentation/collaboration happens in English.

A Typical Week

• Designing Infrastructure: You will architect automated, scalable pipelines for data ingestion and pre-processing.
• Product Development: You will develop high-utility data products to support triggered communications and user lifecycle events.
• Innovation: You will work on "ARIA" (Analytical Reasoning & Insight Assistant), our internal LLM tool, moving from conceptualization to engineering the data schemas that make the tool "AI-ready."
• Stakeholder Collaboration: You will partner closely with Marketing Managers to understand their data needs, and with Data Scientists to ensure our data models are consistent and actionable.
