Are you passionate about driving change? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment where you can shape the future of logistics and how parcels are delivered – both physically and from an information perspective? Look no further! PostNord, the leading supplier of communication and logistics solutions in the Nordic region, is searching a talented Data Architect to join our ongoing transformation journey.

Join us

Postnord is undergoing a large transformation within the Production domain to modernize and harmonize our IT across the Nordics. We are leaving a monolith-centric past and entering into a streaming and microservice based future in the cloud.

As a Data Architect in the Production Core unit, you will be in the heart of production, creating data structures and information flows that impact how systems interact and collaborate. You will be working from operational all the way to strategic level. In collaboration with others, you will be taking decisions with immediate implications on agile development team’s backlogs.

Job duties

Central to PostNord’s new architecture, is a streaming based platform where all messages are controlled by a schema registry. The schemas essentially decide what information is being exchanged between sub-domains. The underlying data model is under development and will continue to evolve. To be effective, the model must cater for business needs while at the same time being lean and straight forward.

The Data Architect will work closely with other architects on different levels, development teams, and also with the business – to evolve the data model and design services tightly coupled with it. You will ensure that agreed on company-wide architecture principles and guidelines are followed, while also innovating and challenging status quo. In this role, you will be in a good position to play an important role in our ongoing tech-transformation and future success!

Hannes Andersson
Product Owner
"I had already been working with cross border mail at Arlanda so it was a natural step to further develop and understand the global logistics when jumping aboard Direct Link. The best thing about the role is that there’s so much going on at all time. As the global logistic market is constantly evolving, you need to be able to make quick and sound decisions and have really good communication. Another great thing is the cultural aspect which can be both challenging and rewarding when we’re practically doing business all around the world!"
Åsa Edde
Product Owner
"During my many years at PostNord, I have worked with development within the customer meeting area and the technology around it. As a Product Owner in the Analytics & Automation team, I can work with a long-term, strategic perspective and apply new technology to automate and streamline customer meetings and business processes among other things. New technology is changing the entire customer experience and our working methods. PostNord is really at the forefront of advanced, smart solutions. The culture is very innovative, which makes it very inspiring and satisfying to work here. We face the future with innovations. Automation is a very interesting area where I think we will see a rapid development in the future. Working here at PostNord with its history and as a company that so many people can relate to is both challenging and important. I really can´t imagine a more exciting and developing job."
