About the Role

Would you like to help shape a modern Nordic data platform at a company making a major investment in data and analytics? As a Data Engineer at Newsec, you will play an active role in building and managing our enterprise-wide data platform, powered by Microsoft Fabric and the Azure ecosystem. This role is ideal for a junior to mid-level engineer looking to grow alongside an experienced team while working with cutting-edge Lakehouse technology.

Working closely with Data Architects, BI Developers, and business stakeholders, you will build reliable, scalable data flows supporting analytics, self-service BI, and data-driven services across the Nordics and Baltics.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy data pipelines (ETL/ELT) and data models in Microsoft Fabric (Data Factory, Lakehouse, Warehouse).

• Perform SQL-based development, continuous optimization, quality assurance, and monitoring of data pipelines.

• Enable self-service BI and analytical workloads through clean, well-structured data foundation layers.

• Collaborate on shared engineering practices: documentation, code reviews, version control, and platform security.

Depending on your experience, you will own clearly defined deliverables or larger components of the platform, with structured mentorship from senior colleagues.

Your Skills and Experience

To succeed in this role, you have a relevant academic background (e.g., Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems) or equivalent practical experience. You possess a solid foundation in data engineering concepts and are eager to work with modern SaaS data platforms.

We are looking for:

• Core Engineering Foundation: Good proficiency in SQL and a strong understanding of relational database principles, data modelling (e.g., dimensional modelling), and data integration (ETL/ELT).

• Modern Platform Familiarity: Hands-on experience or genuine project exposure to Microsoft Fabric (Data Factory, Lakehouse, Warehouse) or modern cloud data stacks (e.g., Azure Data Factory, Synapse, Power BI, Databricks).

• Development Practices: Understanding version control (Git), automated workflows/CI-CD basics, and core data quality principles.

• Programming Exposure: Familiarity with Python or PySpark for data transformation and scripting is a plus.

• Communication: Fluency in English (written and spoken) is required; proficiency in Swedish or another Nordic language is a strong advantage.

The role can be tailored to your level of experience—whether you have gained these skills through university projects, internships, or 1–3 years of hands-on professional experience.

Personal Qualities

• Curious & Eager to Learn: You enjoy exploring new technologies (especially inside the rapidly evolving Microsoft Fabric ecosystem) and continuously refining your technical toolkit.

• Structured & Quality-Focused: You take pride in writing clean SQL/code, building reliable data flows, and documenting your work for team maintainability.

• Collaborative Communicator: You enjoy working in a team environment, actively sharing knowledge, asking for guidance when needed, and communicating technical ideas clearly to both peers and non-technical stakeholders.

• Proactive Problem-Solver: You take ownership of your assignments, troubleshoot logically, and look for practical ways to improve platform performance and data quality.
