Data Engineer to SVT’s DataOps team

Job Description

Empower SVT with data-driven innovation through shaping scalable data solutions and services and democratizing data.

At SVT, data is at the core of how we build, personalize and improve our digital services, such as SVT Play, SVT News and SVT Barn. As part of our DataOps team, you’ll work with vast data streams and enable our organization to work more efficiently with data.

We’re on a journey to make SVT truly data-driven, having already established Data Mesh-principles. This means that we don’t just build centralized data solutions – we enable teams across SVT to create, own, and leverage their own data models. If you’re passionate about scalability, automation, and modern data engineering, this is the place for you!

The opportunity

• A team and organization that values (and expects!) innovation and an experimental mindset. We know that diverse teams with different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds create the best solutions!
• Autonomy – we as a team drive our tech stack, ways of working and priorities forward based on our expertise and needs.
• A chance to directly impact how SVT personalizes content, optimizes its platforms, and improves viewer engagement
• Hackdays, open forums, and dedicated learning time, supporting your growth and development

Your challenge

As a Data Engineer at SVTi DataOps, you play a key role in building and maintaining real-time data pipelines and data models in GCP/BigQuery, ensuring data is structured and accessible for other teams. Beyond pipeline development, you will build and maintain our modern data infrastructure, leveraging technologies like dbt, Airflow, and Clickhouse. Our technology stack includes Python, GO, SQL, Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.

You’ll work closely with product teams, analysts, and engineers in a cross-functional and highly supportive setting, continuously improving our data platform by exploring and adopting new approaches and tools.

The team and workplace

You will be a part of our cross-organizational DataOps-team. SVTi (where the I stands for Interactive) is responsible for delivering and maintaining SVT's digital services, including SVT Play, SVT News, and SVT Barn. We are a friendly, inclusive and warm team that values collaboration, curiosity and mentorship.

We work hybrid and meet at the office 2-3 days a week in our office at SVT Gärdet, Stockholm.

About you

We know that great engineers come from different paths. Most importantly, we’re looking for you who bring curiosity, initiative and a strong sense of ownership to everything you do. With a background in Python and SQL, you’ve built scalable data solutions and containerized workflows using Docker and Kubernetes. If you have experience with GCP/BigQuery, Clickhouse, or modern data stack tools lite dbt and Airflow, that’s a big plus.

Since we operate in a bilingual environment, you should be comfortable working in English. Swedish is a plus, but not a requirement.
