Data Engineer, AI Services

Hey, you seasoned Data and AI expert! Are you seeking an opportunity to make a real impact using your skills as a Data Engineer? If yes, join our AI Services team at OP and become one of our talented experts! Here you will have the chance to work with top-of-the-line AI and analytics services, collaborate with talented colleagues and further develop and share your skills in one of the most prominent software houses in Finland. 

What is your future role like?

Joining us in a Data Engineer role gives you an opportunity to work with our AI Services team. The team's main responsibility is to design, develop, and maintain services that utilize data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. As a part of this team, you will work with fellow data engineers, developers, and data scientists to help the team achieve the goal of discovering, promoting, and creating AI and data-enabled products and services, tailored for cross-domain use cases at the group level. 

In this role, you will be an essential member of an agile team, utilizing your skills as a Data Engineer to design and develop cutting-edge AI and analytics solutions that operate on AWS or Azure cloud environments. Your primary task will be to ensure the smooth operation and functionality of these services. You will also play a crucial role in facilitating the transition journey to the Azure cloud, serving as the bridge between the present and the future.

This opportunity is available in Vallila, Helsinki. Like the rest of OP, we work flexibly, combining office days and remote work.

What we hope from you? 

To succeed in this role, we're searching for someone who already has hands-on experience in Data Engineering, particularly within cloud-based environments. We're also looking for someone with a genuine enthusiasm for learning new technologies and a drive to continuously grow.

Here are some of the requirements and technologies that we hope you have experience with:

• Solid understanding and experience of cloud infrastructure: containerization, data management

• IaC solutions, networking and security in AWS and Azure

• Versioning and CI/CD-deployment pipelines

• Programming with TypeScript and Python, and Data management with Databricks

While we highly regard technical expertise and relevant work experience, we also seek individuals with a genuine passion for learning, especially for a role that spearheads data development within the entire OP group. Demonstrating initiative, strong teamwork skills, and a positive attitude are equally crucial attributes we value. Additionally, clear and effective communication in English and/or Finnish is essential in this position.

What we offer:  

To help counterbalance work where you are expected to take a lot of responsibility, we seek to ensure employee wellbeing and to enable forward-looking work arrangements. We offer a stable working environment where you can contribute to our core values: responsibility, people first and succeeding together. 

  
You will enjoy a wide range of staff benefits, including a personnel fund and special terms for employee banking, insurance and loan services. We offer comprehensive occupational health care, extensive medical treatment expenses insurance and a full-time group accident insurance policy. Furthermore, we invest in wellbeing at work by encouraging a good work-life balance, providing flexibility in your daily life, and offering lunch, sport and cultural benefits and opportunities for affordable holidays in OP timeshares.   

We also encourage and help you to further develop yourself as a technical professional. We apply a 70/20/10 model, which means you will use 70% of your time for your daily tasks, 20% to develop the way you do those tasks, and the last 10% is reserved for you to learn and try new things. You will also have our OP Software Academy at your disposal in case you are interested in learning new technologies or methodologies, or why not in honing your skills in your current stack.
