The role
As a Big Data Engineer, you will play a vital role in our core team, helping to shape the way data is utilized across our commercial and product departments for both analytical and embellishment purposes. Joining our Data Engineering Team, a key part of the Data Science department, you will work with a mature Big Data architecture hosted in AWS Cloud, leveraging both batch and real time architectures.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Develop and maintain our data pipelines
• Drive changes in our development processes
• Driving change to our architecture
• Engineer and maintain data infrastructure

What we are looking for
We understand you may feel confident ticking certain boxes more than others and that’s why we always keep an open mind in our recruitment process. But, in order to thrive in this role, we do believe you’ll have at least some experience in the following:

• Solid experience with Spark framework
• Experience in Data Architecture (big data or otherwise)
• Strong skills in handling everything from traditional to semi- or unstructured data
• Interest in the inner workings of data pipeline processes and software development
• Interest in the holistic perspective, the end result and how your work will impact the users
• A good attitude, sense of humor, and a collaborative approach, enjoying teamwork in a creative team environment

It is a bonus if you have:

• Experience working with cloud tech, specifically experience in Amazon AWS and its plethora of services
• A dedication to testing, code reviewing and other quality-oriented practices

Our offering

• We have got the basics covered (and then some)! 30 days of paid vacation every year and extra compensation on top of a parental pay lift.
• Your wellbeing matters. We have an attractive pension and insurance scheme with full health care coverage should you need it.
• A safe space to grow and up-skill with the freedom to try new things in autonomous teams. Our learning culture puts you in the driver’s seat of your own development, while always making sure you feel supported with regular knowledge-sharing sessions, technical training, mentorship opportunities and peer-to-peer networks.
• An innovative environment with yearly Hack Days. This week-long initiative allows you to think outside the box and deliver creative, technical solutions that (more often than not) go on to be implemented, either in our product or our ways of working.
• A genuinely international and diverse group of colleagues to connect with. We’re striving towards a 50:50 gender balance & we’re not far off – plus last time we checked, we have more than 60 different nationalities across our nine offices!
• Entertainment is what we love, and entertainment is what we do. So, unlimited access to Viaplay seems only fair for you to get to know the product – including live sports & pay per view events, new release movie rentals, linear channels and more.
