We are now looking for a

Data Engineer to join our team in Kokkola or Pori

About the role:

As a Data / Analytics Engineer you help build and maintain Smartvatten's cloud data platform. You bring data from various source systems into our Google Cloud / BigQuery data warehouse, model it into reliable, reusable datasets, and serve it to reporting (Qlik) and other consumers. We develop with AI as an everyday tool rather than a side project, and the warehouse you build is also the foundation the company's AI and analytics use cases are built on. 

Key responsibilities: 

• Building data pipelines: ingesting data from source systems (e.g. Salesforce, NetSuite, MongoDB-based systems and SaaS APIs) into the BigQuery data warehouse. 
• Data modeling & transformation: developing SQL transformations in Dataform following our layered (bronze → silver → gold → reporting) medallion architecture. 
• Reporting datasets: building and maintaining the serve-layer tables and views consumed by Qlik dashboards and other reporting. 
• Data quality & documentation: writing tests/assertions, validating results, and documenting datasets and KPI definitions. 
• Collaboration: Work with the technology team and stakeholders to turn reporting and KPI needs into data solutions. 
• AI in practice: using AI-assisted development in your daily work and building the datasets that make AI and analytics use cases possible — including a governed dataset, free of personal data, that AI tools can query safely. 

Skills and competences needed in this role: 

Required / core 

• BSc/B.Eng. completed or ongoing in Computer Science, Data/Software Engineering or a related field — or equivalent demonstrable skills. 
• Working knowledge of SQL. 
• Basic programming skills, preferably Python. 
• Eagerness to learn cloud data technologies, attention to detail, and good communication skills in English. 
• Readiness to work with AI tools — either existing experience or a genuine willingness to learn. You do not need to have built AI systems; you do need to be interested in where they can be applied. 

Technologies you will work with (prior experience is a strong plus, not required) 

• Google Cloud Platform, especially BigQuery — our central data warehouse. 
• The functions our data warehouse relies on: SQL-based data modeling, scheduled ingestion pipelines, and version-controlled transformations (Dataform, Git). 
• Data ingestion / ETL pipelines (e.g. Apache Beam / Dataflow), incl. reading from MongoDB / NoSQL sources. 
• Infrastructure as code (Terraform). 

Considered an advantage

• Qlik (Qlik Cloud / Qlik Sense) or other BI / data visualization tools.
