Big Data Engineer

We are Telia Company Data & Analytics. We are leading Telia Company’s journey of becoming truly data driven, and leveraging big data as part of our ambitions of being a New Generation Telco. We are already 20 highly driven, competent and curios colleagues securing our big data services and outcomes from data and analytics. We are now taking the next step in our execution and are establishing a new team with engineers and developers for developing data pipelines on our data lake.

At the core of our Platform Services is our Hadoop Data Lake, together with several other modern development, data preparation and analytics tools, ranging from Cloudera, Notebooks, Spark, Kafka, Talend, Qlik, Knime, Zoomdata and SAS. We are working fully with DevOps and agile methodologies, in short sprint cycles, and with continuous releases.

The Data & Analytics organisation at Telia Company provides three core “as a services” to our more than 15 current internal customers. The foundation is Platform as a Service, where we ensure modern data management and analytics tools and platforms. The Data as a Service provides the data pipelining and ensures that refined data is available for analytics to our lines of business. The third service is Analytics as a Service, where we have a team of data scientists working closely with our lines of businesses to ensure insights and outcome from our vast data. A fourth service that we provide is the Value Realization Office, where we work closely with our internal customers to ensure that we monetize and secure value from our data and analytics.

We are now seeking a Big Data Engineer to join the new Data Services unit. As a Big Data Engineer you will be an instrumental part of a unique and inspiring journey as we continue to build our Big Data solution at Telia Company.
