Job description

Ready to Engineer the Future of Data? Are you passionate about building scalable data infrastructure that powers real-world products and decisions? At Basware, we’re redefining how businesses operate through mission-critical cloud solutions. If you're a forward-thinking engineer who loves solving complex problems with elegant data architecture, we want you on our team.

Our Data Platform Engineering team is at the heart of this transformation. We build and operate both the enterprise data platform (supporting internal analytics and operations) and the customer data platform (enabling product-level data capabilities). We focus on:

• Building secure, scalable, and self-service platform components (pipeline templates, central processing libraries, orchestration frameworks).
• Enabling data product teams to onboard new sources and deliver pipelines with minimal friction.
• Ensuring compliance, cost efficiency, and performance across all platform usage.

Your Role

As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll be part of the Platform Engineering team, working alongside engineers who take pride in building robust, reusable, and future-proof systems. You’ll design and develop the foundations of our data platforms, directly impacting analytics, product development, and business decisions. Your work will help build resilient, compliant, and scalable infrastructure that enables fast and confident delivery of data products.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain multi-tenant data pipelines and storage layers
• Develop ingestion and transformation flows with strong focus on data quality, lineage, and observability
• Implement data security features like PII masking, tenant isolation, and retention policies
• Collaborate with data product teams to drive self-service adoption and best practices
• Establish monitoring and cost tracking integrations
• Contribute to infrastructure as code for platform deployment and management

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience building scalable, maintainable, and self-service data solutions.
• Strong background in batch & streaming pipeline design, orchestration, and schema management.
• Hands-on experience with Databricks, Apache Spark, Python/SQL, and data engineering best practices.
• Deep understanding of data quality validation and monitoring frameworks.
• Excellent collaboration skills across engineering and product teams.
• Proven ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-structured code.
• Strong problem-solving mindset.

The experience with AI tools, frameworks or applications is considered a strong asset. We highly value candidates who demonstrate curiosity, a proactive mindset and a willingness to explore and incorporate AI-driven technologies into their work. We encourage growth in this area and provide opportunities for experimentation and learning.

Nice to Have

• Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform or similar) and CI/CD
• Familiarity with multi-tenant architectures and concepts

What Basware Offers

• A chance to shape a modern data platform used across product and business teams
• Work with a cutting-edge cloud-native stack supporting enterprise and customer-facing data products
• Join a collaborative engineering team with strong ownership of platform design and evolution
• A culture of automation, configuration-driven design, and self-service enablement

We offer flexibility in how you work, giving you the freedom and support to deliver your best results. As a company, we are committed to your well-being and want to make sure you have an excellent work-life balance. We offer you an opportunity to build your career in an international environment and to develop and learn continuously.

What sets us apart is our unique company culture. At Basware, collaboration is at the core of everything we do. The 'We' spirit unites us and fosters a sense of inclusion, igniting a genuine passion for success and a shared celebration of achievements. Regardless of our backgrounds, we are all Baswareans.

Your office will be in Espoo, Tampere or Pori but you also have a flexible opportunity to work partly remotely with our hybrid working model. In addition, we offer

• Competitive salary and company incentive program
• Lunch and recreational benefits, transferable to dental care or massages
• Occupational and mental health services
• Hobby clubs and gym
• Free parking space and bicycle or subsidized commuter ticket benefit
• Employee awards and team social events
• Good learning opportunities, e.g. LinkedIn Learning license

...and more!
