Data Engineer

Job Description

THE OPPORTUNITY IN A NUTSHELL

You? A data engineer with around 2-4 years of experience (indicative). Empathetic with the people you collaborate with, proactive about data quality, and creative in how you model solutions. You combine a solid technical foundation with curiosity and care deeply about making sure our data products are reliable, well-governed, and easy to consume.

Role? Data Engineer joining CAM Classifieds & Transactions, responsible for designing, building, and evolving core analytical data products across our Classifieds and Transactions domains that underpin analytics, insights, and AI-driven workflows at Vend.

Tech stack? Snowflake, SQL, dbt, Python.

Company? Vend, home of FINN, Blocket, Tori, Oikotie, DBA & Bilbasen. Around 500 developers deploy code and models to production thousands of times a week. Our mission is simple: Smart choices made easy. We connect millions of people across the Nordics while making sustainable living effortless.

Location? Join us in our Oslo or Stockholm office, with the flexibility to work 3 days per week remotely!

Why us? Most data teams are still figuring out how to combine dbt modeling with modern AI agents. With CAM, we are building the shared analytical foundation for all of Vend, using AI-augmented dev workflows to reduce friction and power the flow connecting data, insights, and products. You will join a supportive team where you get to shape these modern practices as we grow.

Sounds like your cup of tea? Check out the details below!

WHO ARE YOU?

• Collaborative & Empathetic: You communicate clearly across distributed teams in fluent English, bring a supportive attitude to complex problems, and enjoy exploring solutions together.
• Continuous Learner: You take ownership of your professional growth, actively seek feedback, and look for opportunities to develop your technical skills.
• Hands-on with AI Tooling: You are curious about or already use modern dev tools (such as Claude Code, Copilot, or other LLM harnesses) in your daily dev cycles to accelerate code generation, refactoring, and metadata propagation.
• Data & Architectural Fundamentals: You understand layered data modeling, care about quality guardrails, consistent business logic, and modular schema design that scales across marketplace domains.
• Analytics Engineering Skills: You bring solid SQL skills and data modeling concepts, with practical experience or exposure (indicative 1–3+ years) to cloud data platforms (preferably Snowflake) and transformation frameworks (dbt strongly preferred; Python as a plus).
• Authentic Perspective: You bring open dialogue, constructive curiosity, and fresh ideas that help us continuously improve how we work.

WHAT’S THE JOB LIKE?

Day-to-day Work & Focus

As a Data Engineer in CAM Classifieds & Transactions, you will help build and evolve core data products that power critical business decisions and user experiences enterprise-wide:

• We used to automate data transformations with manual pipeline setup. Now, we augment our engineering with reasoning and metadata-driven dbt workflows.
• You will work closely with peer engineers across Core Insight & Analytics, as well as analysts, product managers, and software engineers across Vend.
• With active support, mentorship, and guidance from senior engineers, you will contribute directly to our modern dbt and Snowflake architecture.
• Our team consists of 7 members including team lead and lead data engineer. We are an inclusive, collaborative team spread across the Nordics, and we meet up in person several times a year to work, play games, and have fun together!

What does success look like?

• After 6 months: You feel confident and supported in building and maintaining dbt models on Snowflake, collaborating smoothly across neighboring teams, and utilizing AI dev tools like Claude Code in your daily workflow.
• After 1 year: You independently handle domain modeling tasks within Classifieds & Transactions, contribute meaningfully to our, and actively share ideas for process and quality improvements.

The Road Ahead & Technology Evolution

We are moving from Matillion to a declarative, metadata-driven and AI-augmented dbt Cloud setup, and we plan to finish in 2027. Our ways of working will change with it. We expect this to make data much easier to access, and to let more people create data transformations and data products themselves. You will work alongside experienced engineers across to build the next-generation data stack, including data contracts, semantic models and automated engineering workflows.

A few words from Kristin Hybertsen, Head of CAM Classifieds & Transactions

"Hi, I am Kristin! The CAM teams are responsible for providing the shared analytical foundation for all of Vend. We sit inside Core Insight & Analytics alongside Analysts and Data Management, working in close sync with our sister teams in User & Behaviour and Finance & Operations. We build the data products that power insights and decision-making across our marketplaces. We are an inclusive, collaborative, distributed team, valuing open communication, mutual support, and technical curiosity. In our team, we aim to Unite by building trust while challenging constructively, Dare by questioning established patterns when there is a better way forward, and Deliver by ensuring the data products we build are reliable, governed, and trusted. If this sounds like the direction you are looking for, we'd love to welcome you to the team in Oslo, or Stockholm!"
