Job description

Join our team and help build production‑grade AI and data solutions at global scale. We’re a fast‑moving AI & Data hub focused on real impact — driving innovation, enabling the business, and solving meaningful challenges together.

Play a key role in our global data transformation by shaping modern data engineering and architecture — building the foundations for AI, analytics, and scalable business value.

Your mission

We are looking for a hands‑on data engineering leader who sets direction and architectural standards while actively contributing in code. You will play a central role in our data transformation by building secure, production‑ready data pipelines and products that enable analytics and AI at scale. This is not just an administrative role. You lead by example in engineering, design, and delivery.

Your responsibilities

• Lead a global team of data engineers and architects.
• Design and deliver scalable, governed data products and pipelines.
• Define and enforce engineering best practices (Git, CI/CD, testing, deployment).
• Provide architectural oversight to ensure secure, robust, future‑proof solutions.
• Collaborate across functions to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.
• Balance strategic direction with hands‑on technical depth.

Leadership expectations

At Epiroc, we expect our leaders to be inspirers, accelerators, and new thinkers who lead by example and have the courage to challenge the status quo. Safety and sustainability are our top priorities, and we expect our leaders to actively promote safety, inclusion, and diversity, while also prioritizing the well‑being and continuous development of our employees. We are looking for you who have the courage to believe in new ideas and see opportunities where others see challenges.

Other requirements

• 5+ years in data engineering and architecture with recent hands‑on coding (Python preferred).
• Experience delivering data products in distributed or multinational environments.
• Experience applying data mesh principles in practice.
• Strong communication skills and business‑technical translation ability.
• Databricks experience is a plus.

Why Epiroc

Join a global industrial leader driving innovation in mining and infrastructure. You will contribute directly to enabling data and AI capabilities that support safer, more efficient, and sustainable operations worldwide.

We offer competitive total rewards, global career opportunities, learning programs, bonus scheme, flexible work culture, and strong parental leave policies.
