We are seeking a skilled Data Engineer to join our agile and dynamic product organization, Norse Coders, where you will closely collaborate with a team of talented software engineers, data scientists, and product managers. As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining scalable data pipelines and infrastructure to support data analysis, machine learning, and business intelligence initiatives. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and accessibility of our data, enabling the Norse Coders team to derive actionable insights and drive strategic decision-making.

Introduction:

Always dreamt of doing things differently? Join us at Norse Coders, Norse Atlantic Airways' tech and innovation unit, where we work on Norse's future competitive advantages to become a challenger airline. We think differently and we act differently, that's why as an airline we are headquartered in a town with no airport. We are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and test new ideas. We are a data-driven product organization powered by a team of developers, product managers, data scientists, and a bunch of potatoes (a Norwegian term for people who can do a little bit of everything).

If these prospects inspire you, then we want to talk to you!

Main Responsibilities and Duties:

Data Pipeline Development: Design, build, and optimize robust data pipelines to ingest, process, and transform large volumes of data from diverse sources, ensuring data quality, reliability, and scalability. Azure is our main cloud ecosystem.

Database Management: Knowledge of database management systems (DBMS) and query languages for data storage, retrieval, and optimization. (eg. SQL Pools, SFTP servers)

Data Visualization: Understanding of data visualization principles and tools (e.g., PowerBI, Python libraries for visualizations) for creating interactive dashboards and reports.

Required Experience:

• Minimum of 2-3 years of experience in data engineering or related roles, preferably in a business or technical environment.
• Demonstrated experience in designing and implementing data pipelines, data models, and infrastructure solutions.
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure) and version control systems (e.g., Git) is essential.
