Senior Data Engineer

Providing Value & Impact - SwedQ. SwedQ is a consultancy company that has lately proven to have a unique model for those who want to grow, create a legacy, and take on challenges that both add and gain value. Year after year, we have managed to serve clients within a wide range of industries (intentionally excluding gambling and weaponry). During this time, we have also grown steadily—in revenue, in team size, and in the impact of our deliveries. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of the company in a literal sense. That means taking on the technical challenges as well as getting a portion of the company in the future. If you would like, you can also drive your own ideas forward and implement them with us. You’ll be working closely with everyone here, which makes it easy to bring change and act on what you believe in.

What's in it for you? The question goes back to you: what do you want (with common sense or not)? Some people value fixed salaries, pensions, and stability. Others want a bigger share of the pie and are ready to share the risks. Let’s talk that through. One thing is certain—we’ll make sure you find your “it,” whether that’s with us in-house or with our clients. We’ll shape the role to fit both your needs and ours. The good thing? You will be surrounded by people who are technically savvy, giving you plenty of opportunities to teach and learn. And if not technically, then perhaps in entrepreneurship. We know - it’s a lot of questions. That’s why we have interviews, right?

SwedQ culture SwedQ began with siblings who brought in people they knew. Those people recommended friends, and from there, the company grew further through open head-hunting. Over time, we’ve built a diverse team with different backgrounds, experiences, and insights. We made sure to amplify this diversity by embracing independence and accountability while driving value-creating work. At the same time, we make sure to have fun—with epic football tournaments, unforgettable trips, and great dinners.
