You will support the growth of our modern, scalable data warehouse solutions, ensuring our data pipelines are reliable, secure and deeply integrated into our tech ecosystem. This is not a purely isolated technical role. The right person can understand underlying business needs – from pricing and conversion to revenue optimization – and answer questions on feasibility by selecting the right industry-leading frameworks, ETL patterns and orchestration tools. You will build solutions that don't just look conceptually good, but actually deliver robust data quality and solve high-stakes complexities within Etraveli. The role will be based in Gothenburg. Main tasks

• Design, develop, and maintain robust batch and streaming pipelines tailored to business intelligence, machine learning and other stakeholders needs.
• Interpret, analyse and ingest data from a variety of cloud and on-premise source systems into our expanding data lakehouse platform.
• Evaluate, integrate, and configure industry-leading frameworks and tooling for our Data Engineering platform, prioritizing scalability, optimization/performance and maintainability.
• Define and enforce rigorous data quality standards, implementing relevant monitoring and alerting solutions to ensure high data integrity.
• Work closely with ML Engineers, core backend developers, DBAs, and business stakeholders to prioritize information needs, create synergies and optimize existing data pipelines.
• Ensure high-performance data processing and query execution by applying techniques like indexing, partitioning, caching and efficient data modeling.
• Champion technical excellence by promoting best practices in data engineering, sharing status updates, and contributing to a culture of continuous learning within the team.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering, data warehousing or a comparable technical role
• Strong foundation in data warehousing concepts (Star and Snowflake schemas, Slowly Changing Dimensions, Incremental Loads) and translating business requirements into optimal data models
• Proven hands-on experience building and testing batch and streaming pipelines. Familiarity with distributed query engines and processing tools (Spark, dbt, Dremio/Trino, Databricks) as well as orchestration (Airflow)
• Proficiency in SQL and multiple scripting/programming languages such as Python, Scala and Bash.
• Deep understanding of data lakehouse architectures, utilizing object storage (S3/Ceph), modern table formats (Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake for ACID transactions/time-travel) and data formats (Parquet, Avro, JSON, CSV).
• Experience with distributed messaging systems (Kafka) and Change Data Capture (CDC) tools (Debezium, Flink CDC, Kafka Connect).
• Comfortable working with Linux, Docker and Kubernetes. Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Artifactory) and monitoring/alerting stacks (Grafana, Kibana). Note: Experience with secrets management (Vault) is a strong merit.
