Senior Data Engineer

Job Description

At Vend Jobs, we power FINN Jobb - Norway’s biggest job marketplace - and we’re just getting started. We’re re-imagining how people discover, match and get hired through bold experimentation and smart use of data and AI. If you love turning messy real-world data into measurable impact, this is your place.

Why this role matters

Every month, over a million people use FINN Jobb to find their next opportunity. Behind every “You’ve got a match!” moment is the data platform that fuels intelligent search, recommendations, and analytics. In 2026, we are doubling down on our commitment to data-driven solutions by improving our operational data foundations with a modern data platform built on BigQuery, dbt, and Dagster.

As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll design and scale the data infrastructure that empowers teams to build smarter, fairer, and more personal job discovery experiences.

You’ll join a cross-functional team of engineers, data scientists, and product managers who blend data pipelines with machine learning, large language models (LLMs) and experimentation to deliver high-quality solutions for scalable experimentation and modeling. From data ingestion and transformation to orchestration and observability, you’ll help shape the data and ML platform behind FINN Jobb.

What you’ll do

• Work with data scientists to design, build, and maintain the data pipelines and infrastructure that take ML models from exploration to production.
• Collaborate with product teams to ensure seamless access to clean, well-modeled, and timely data.
• Develop and evolve our data platform, including data modeling, orchestration, cataloging, and governance.
• Optimize performance, scalability, and cost efficiency of our cloud data ecosystem.
• Contribute to a shared data platform used across teams for modeling, experimentation, and analytics.
• Contribute to shared tooling and best practices for data quality, observability, and CI/CD.

What we are looking for

• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python for data processing and automation.
• Experience with cloud-native data stacks (dbt, BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, or similar).
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration (Airflow, dbt, Dagster) and data versioning.
• Experience designing and operating modern data pipelines in production (batch and streaming).
• Solid understanding of data modeling, schema design, and data governance.
• Interest in LLMs, vector search, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) - and curiosity to apply them responsibly.
• Comfort collaborating with product engineers and data scientists on shared infra.
• Bonus: experience supporting ML systems or collaborating closely with ML teams.

Why you’ll love it here

• The models and infrastructure you build will directly influence how millions of Norwegians find meaningful work - every single day.
• You’ll work in a culture that’s inclusive, supportive, and experimental – where curiosity beats ego.
• You’ll apply state-of-the-art techniques and tooling to real marketplace data at scale.
• You’ll be part of a team that cares deeply about users, each other, and the craft of data science.
• You’ll collaborate with some of the smartest engineers and data scientists in the Nordics, in an environment that prizes autonomy, learning, and impact.
