What you'll do
- Help steer how the platform evolves, and grow into owning it end to end
- Build and maintain production data pipelines on Snowflake and Airflow, along with the Python services that power them
- Build quality in from the start: everything shipped comes with tests and monitoring
- Help build the AI agents that take repetitive data questions and investigations off the team's plate
- Work with Product Managers and stakeholders early so data is designed into features, and explain choices to non-engineers
- Take requests or roadmap items from idea to production, including challenging concepts and decisions early
- Own the day-to-day flow of data work: requests from product and customer-facing teams, changes to existing pipelines, and new sources and feeds
- Model data so analysis and reporting are easy, building for what the analyst needs
- Leave the platform better than found: documentation, tests, standardisation, and retiring what is no longer needed
What we're looking for
- Five or more years building production data pipelines
- Strong Python, with services built from scratch, automated tests, sound design patterns and maintainable, scalable code
- Deep experience with a cloud data warehouse in production, ideally Snowflake (BigQuery, Redshift or Databricks depth accepted with room to go deep on Snowflake)
- Hands-on with Airflow or a similar orchestrator
- Comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes and Argo CD
- Product at heart: sees data end to end, from collection to who uses it and why
- Curiosity beyond own stack; works T-shaped
- Spots problems and brings solutions, balancing doing it right and getting it done
- Uses AI daily and has opinions on where it helps
- Communicates clearly and directly, mostly in writing
- Lives within one hour of Danish time all year round (WET, CET or EET)
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with parts of the stack beyond Snowflake and Airflow, such as Terraform, Weld or Metabase
- Event-driven ingestion on AWS
- Building with LLMs, for example tooling that automates investigations or answers questions about data

- Remote-first flexibility with colleagues across several countries
