DESCRIPTION

We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Data Platform team. This role is based in Stockholm and you will manage a high-performing group of engineers distributed across Sweden and the rest of Europe.

In this role, you will shape how we design, operate, and scale our core data platform, ensuring it is reliable, scalable, and able to power products, analytics, and intelligent systems across the organization. The team builds and maintains essential platform components that enable both batch and real-time data flows, and advanced data processing, providing the foundation for high-quality data across the company.

As a key technical leader, you will drive the evolution of our data platform architecture, elevate engineering excellence, and foster a culture of collaboration, ownership, and continuous improvement. You will play a central role in strengthening our data platform to support advanced analytics, AI, and ML at scale, accelerating our ability to innovate with data.

This is a unique opportunity to influence the future of our data platform and strengthen the teams who rely on it.

• Team Leadership & Mentoring: Lead, mentor, and grow a team of platform engineers, fostering a supportive, high-performing environment focused on reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.
• Platform Strategy & Roadmap: Define and drive the technical roadmap for the data platform in close collaboration with product managers, architects, and key stakeholders—ensuring the platform evolves to meet the needs of data producers, consumers, and downstream products.
• Engineering Excellence: Champion platform-oriented engineering best practices, including infrastructure automation, CI/CD for data and platform components, observability, reliability engineering, and robust security and compliance standards.
• Technical Guidance & Architecture: Engage in deep architectural and technical discussions, evaluate alternative platform approaches, and guide the team in designing scalable systems, interfaces, and services that power data across the organization.
• Platform Delivery & Operations: Oversee the end-to-end delivery and ongoing operations of platform capabilities—ensuring high availability, performance, and quality while enabling other teams to build on top of a strong, self-serve foundation.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with data product teams, application engineering, SRE/infra, analytics, and ML teams to ensure seamless integration, consistent platform adoption, and alignment on standards and patterns.

REQUIREMENTS

• Experience with modern data technologies and delivering data to internal and external stakeholders.
• Familiarity with data platform architectures, including streaming frameworks, workflow orchestration, and metadata/data quality management.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) and their data services.
• Knowledge of modern data technologies and frameworks (e.g., dbt, Kafka, Airflow, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks).
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to proactively navigate complex structures.
• A strong advocate for engineering excellence with a track record of improving data engineering practices, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate complex data and platform concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
