Om tjänsten
Every week, around eight million people use TV4 Play and MTV Katsomo. Behind product decisions, content recommendations,
subscriptions, advertising and viewer experiences is data.
We’re looking for a Sr. Data Engineer to help evolve our data platform and raise the bar for how we build, operate and improve
data solutions across the organisation.
This role goes beyond building pipelines and data models. We’re looking for an experienced engineer who takes a broader view of
the systems around them: architecture, quality, observability, developer experience and how things actually behave in production.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Data is fundamental to how TV4 and MTV develop products, understand viewer behaviour and make business decisions.
Our Data team builds the platform and capabilities used by analysts, data scientists, product teams and the wider business. We’re
now modernising that platform while making data easier to access, trust and use across the organisation.
As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll help shape that journey technically. You’ll build new capabilities, improve existing systems and
help establish engineering practices that allow the team to move faster without compromising quality or reliability.
YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS ROLE IF
- You enjoy discussing architecture and technical trade-offs and can help create direction without needing all the answers
upfront.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Identify technical debt, bottlenecks and structural problems and drive improvements even when there isn’t a predefined task
waiting for you.
- Work closely with analysts, data scientists, product teams and the business to understand which problems are actually worth
solving.
ABOUT YOU
You’re an experienced engineer whose main domain is data, but you think beyond individual pipelines or tools.
You’re comfortable taking an ambiguous technical problem, breaking it down and driving it towards a solution. You understand that
production engineering includes testing, deployment, observability, failure modes and maintainability, not just implementation.
You don’t need to be the person with all the answers, but you should be comfortable forming an opinion, explaining your reasoning
and changing direction when better information appears.
We expect you to have strong experience with:
Experience with some of the following is useful, but the stack is not a checklist:
We’re also interested in engineers coming from adjacent backend or platform backgrounds who have moved deeply into data
engineering. Strong engineering fundamentals matter more to us than matching every tool we use.
OUR CURRENT TECH LANDSCAPE
* AWS
* SQL
The platform is evolving, so we’re more interested in your ability to reason about systems and learn than in exact tool matching.
THE TEAM
You’ll join a Nordic Data team working across Stockholm and Helsinki.
The team owns the data platform and capabilities supporting analytics, reporting, product development and business insight across
TV4 and MTV.
We work closely with the rest of the product organisation and with analysts, data scientists and business stakeholders. Our
ambition is to make trustworthy data easier to access and use while reducing unnecessary complexity for the teams depending on it.
This is also a team in transformation. You’ll have real opportunity to influence the platform, engineering practices and how the
team works together.
