This is a permanent position where you will become a key part of the client’s data team, working broadly within data engineering and backend development. You will collaborate closely with highly skilled colleagues, some of the most talented in their field, creating an environment that is both challenging and deeply rewarding.

• Building scalable backend APIs to enable access to data
• Driving initiatives and contributing to improvements in a high-trust, fast-paced environment

We place great emphasis on personal qualities in this role. You are someone who thrives when given responsibility and ownership of your work, and you are comfortable working independently. At the same time, you are a true team player who enjoys collaborating, sharing knowledge, and supporting colleagues. You have an innovative mindset, think creatively, and find solutions when challenges arise. You are analytical and strong in problem-solving, while also being communicative and confident in discussing solutions.
To succeed in this role, you also bring:
• At least 2 years of experience as a Data Engineer or similar
• Strong skills in Python and Java or Scala
• Solid backend experience, for example with Scala Play or equivalent
• Strong general programming skills
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field; a Master’s degree is considered a strong advantage
• Excellent communication skills in English, both spoken and written
• Ability to work on-site at the client's office in Malmö 3 days per week
It is an advantage if you have worked with technologies such as Spark, Flink, or other big data tools, and if you have exposure to Iceberg, microservices on Kubernetes, Snowflake, Kafka, or Akka. Experience with visualization frameworks like Grafana is also valuable, as well as any interest or hands-on experience in Machine Learning.
