At Kivra, we are building services that connect 6 million people, by providing a safe and accessible digital infrastructure that everyone in Sweden can trust and use. At the same time, we are saving trees - reducing the paper that is printed and transported - by providing a better digital alternative to physical paper communication.

Why are we looking for a Data Engineer?

We have a modern, cloud-based data platform, which you will build upon and improve with other engineers in the team. As part of the vision of the Data Platform Team at Kivra, we are developing an internal platform for analysts and engineers to improve the ease and experience of working with data across the organization.

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain an internal development platform for data tools, services, and workflows

  • Standardize configurations and workflows

  • Automate redundant tasks

  • Ensure compliance (e.g. GDPR) and security across all golden paths

• Adopt a “platform as a product” approach, treating analysts and engineers as our customers; aim to improve the analyst and engineering experience working with data tools and services, and remove complexity and cognitive load of our customers

• Use your knowledge and expertise to work with data stakeholders to make data easily accessible and available to product and functional teams in Kivra (this data is used for, amongst others, business intelligence, analytics, reporting and billing). We are responsible for a number of data products and services which we provide to the rest of the organization (e.g. APIs and data integrations)

• Build, improve and maintain a resilient and scalable data infrastructure

• As a team, we have full ownership and autonomy over what and how we build our solutions - from idea and design, to implementation and operations. We are responsible for our solutions end-to-end

Who you are

You want to join a fun, diverse and friendly team. You are a team player who wants to build good relationships with your colleagues to understand their problems and challenges. You embrace “platform thinking” in your work - and strive to enable and support your colleagues, not block them. You are proactive, entrepreneurial and want to shape this role based on the opportunities you discover. You are curious, collaborative and like solving problems.

Furthermore we think that you:

• Are easy-going, open and bring positive energy to your work and colleagues

• Have at least 4 years of full-time software engineering experience, and an interest in data engineering and platform engineering

• Have experience working with automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), version control, containerization, and CI/CD (we use Terraform, GitHub, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions)

• Have experience working in a cloud platform - GCP, Azure, or AWS (we use GCP)

• Are comfortable with Python and SQL

• Are already familiar with, or want to work in the data engineering space (and associated tooling, e.g. Airflow and dbt)

And it would be a bonus if you:

• Are familiar with Google Cloud Platform and the tooling there

• Have experience with data engineering and data tooling - e.g. Airflow, dbt, cloud data warehouses

Additional information

This role is full-time and our offices are based in Stockholm.  You will be part of the Data Platform Team and report to the manager of the Data Platform Team.

Fluency in English is required and fluency in Swedish is a plus but not required. Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor new work permits, but are able to sponsor/renew existing work permits!
