Are You Our New Data Engineer?

Kirjoittanut Smartum | 14.9.2022

We are looking for a Data Engineer to join the Smartum tech team!

Past two years we have been renewing our technical architecture and customer solutions, so you will have a solid base to start building on. Now we are looking for a specialist to take our data vision into the next level.

At Smartum, we believe that the working culture must change. We need a humane, flexible culture, that takes into account individual needs. For a few years now, we have been striving to lead and be an example in this cultural change, as well as to help others to change their culture and balance work and other life. If you feel passion for being a part of this change and building a more humane Finnish working life, we are here waiting for you to join us.

What We Are Looking For?

There are two essential things that you need in this job: First, you are a nice person and willing to learn new things; second, you enjoy answering questions with data and have the software engineering skills to turn this into a reliable service for your colleagues and customers.

Ideally you have hands-on experience on building, testing and operating reliable data pipelines that enable the use of data analytics in business and product development. You know your way around different types of databases and are familiar with concepts like data warehouses and data lakes. Knowledge on topics like data visualization & exploration, data governance, privacy and security is very welcome.

We work with Google Cloud so experience with GCP managed services would be very beneficial. However expertise from other cloud providers or platforms from the data ecosystem will work as well. We like Infrastructure as Code, and hope you do, too.

What We Offer You?

  • Opportunity to work with a modern tech stack

  • Highly capable and motivated colleagues

  • Freedom to choose tech stacks and solutions together with the team

  • Competitive salary and Smartum benefits offering including "Exercise & Culture", "Commute" and "Massage".

  • Possibility to use 3 hours of working time weekly in to sports/culture

  • A humane culture where we don't expect you to work 24/7

  • Freedom to choose if you're working remotely or at the office or both

  • Our office is located in the city center of Helsinki

Our Recruitment Process

  • Interview 1: Getting to know each other.
  • Interview 2: Meeting the team and diving more deeply into technical expertise. We value good technical discussions and critical thinking over stressful on-the-spot coding tests or how well you can memorize specifics.
