Job summary

Overstory is seeking a Staff Data Engineer in Sweden to lead the design and scaling of the data platform powering our AI-driven vegetation analysis. You will own the architecture, ensuring reliable, scalable data pipelines for satellite imagery, model inferences, and utility data.

Work with data, ML, and product teams to drive service-oriented architecture, implement observability, and mentor engineers across a globally distributed team.

Qualifications

• 10+ years designing and building production-grade data pipelines and systems.
• Experience with geospatial and large-scale data is a plus.
• Hands-on with Dagster in production or equivalent orchestration systems.
• Strong system design and service-oriented architecture experience.

Responsibilities

• Architect and evolve our orchestration layer — asset graphs, quality checks, partitioning strategies, and the patterns that keep it scaling reliably.
• Design and maintain production data pipelines for large-scale geospatial and temporal data, from ingestion through transformation to delivery.
• Lead system design work across the data platform, including service boundaries, data contracts, and designing around failure modes.
• Drive the shift toward a service-oriented architecture, decoupling tightly bound components into services that teams can own and deploy independently.
• Build event-driven workflows, replacing brittle coupling and manual coordination with durable messaging patterns.
• Establish observability, testing, and data quality frameworks so problems surface before customers see them.
• Mentor engineers and define the standards for how we build, test, and operate data systems.
