Data Engineer - work.mobilevikings

The role

At Mobile Vikings we believe that data is key to understand the needs of our Vikings, and to run an efficient business. We therefore value operational reporting (BI) as much as customer analytics/insights (CI), and believe that a top-notch environment is needed to support both. As a Data Engineer, you have a crucial role in making sure all setups are “always on” and the technical architecture is clean and state of the art. Contributing to new, innovative directions, you will help drive the (Gen)AI solutions we are actively exploring to unlock even more value from our data. You will be there to answer our colleagues’ questions and challenges, and evolve together with the new evolutions in the world of data. Next to technical leadership, you are also a good team player that cares for the best common results.

Take business ownership of the current data environment (mainly a Postgres data warehouse with DBT and a cloud-native data lake on AWS)

Apply software engineering best practices like unit testing and CI/CD to our data stack

Support our data analysts and provide them with the data they need in an easily accessible and understandable way
Make sure the data models are well defined, terminology is clear and understood and reports can be certified by your business counterparts
Take technical ownership of custom (Gen)AI solutions, from design to implementation, whenever they prove to deliver real added value
Be part of a small team of data engineers. Build bridges with your stakeholders and your team member

The possibility to make a difference all while rocking an empowering role! At Mobile Vikings, we work hard, but the right to disconnect is equally important!
The chance to work in a cool office at least 2 days a week. Just imagine walking into a space that is thoughtfully designed with modern aesthetics and vibrant colors. Our offices are not only functional, they are an extension of our company culture.
The best colleagues from around the world and with the most diverse interests and passions. Although we have a very diverse group, our company language is English, but we also speak in puns and memes ;).
