Senior Data Engineer

Are you ready to take on meaningful data engineering challenges and contribute to one of Finland’s largest and most advanced data platforms?

Veikkaus is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our team working with a modern platform that combines gaming event data, customer information from one of Finland’s largest customer bases, and online store activity. What sets this role apart is the opportunity to work with one of the most extensive and diverse data sets in the country—a rare chance in the Finnish market.

But that’s not all. In this role, you’ll also help build a completely new data platform to support Veikkaus’ international expansion. It’s a unique opportunity to shape something from the ground up and make a lasting impact.

At Veikkaus, Data as a Service team is responsible for the centralized collection, processing, and distribution of business data, along with the technical solutions that support them. You’ll join a focused platform team of four experts, responsible for developing and maintaining the technologies and tools behind our data infrastructure. Key components include data reception interfaces, stream and batch processing systems, data warehouses, and tools that support the daily work of data engineers.

The role includes both operational responsibilities and continuous platform development, as well as supporting other development projects across the company.

Our current tech stack includes GCP native services (BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions), Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Apache Kafka, Apache NiFi, and Pentaho. We value experience with real-time data processing and cloud environments, but we don’t expect you to know everything—we believe a solid technical foundation and a curious mindset go a long way. Experience with DevOps is also beneficial, as we’ve recently transitioned to a cloud-based operating model.

This position is for you if

• Developing technical solutions (such as platforms, applications, and tools) is your passion.

• You have the ability to understand the needs of different stakeholders and find suitable solutions for them.

• You are motivated to enhance operating models.

• Agile methods are familiar to you, and you understand their value.

• You appreciate long-term development work and understand the importance of continuous improvement.

• You are a team player and communicate in English and possibly also in Finnish with various stakeholders.

We, in turn, can offer you

• You'll get to work with and fully leverage modern technologies, including scalable cloud technologies.

• The opportunity for long-term work without the constant pressure of delivery project deadlines.

• A workplace at Veikkaus' headquarters in Pohjois-Haaga combined with flexible hybrid work practices, so you get the best of both worlds.

With us you will have the opportunity to grow as a professional. We genuinely want to be a responsible employer that offers meaningful work tasks, competitive employment benefits, and takes care of the balance between work and leisure. It is important to us that everyone can come to work as their authentic selves. We value diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives, and believe that success comes from working in diverse teams. We encourage individuals from various backgrounds to apply for our jobs. You can read more about us, our benefits, and our work culture here.

If you consider this being your next career move, please leave your application by 10th of August. All candidates will be reached out during August. The recruitment is carried out in collaboration between Veikkaus and Talented.

The selected candidate will undergo a drug test and may undergo a basic security clearance in accordance with the Security Clearance Act (726/2014).
