Our Team
We are on a mission to make Handelsbanken a leader in using advanced analytics and AI to deliver superior products, service and experience to our customers. This involves applying statistics, machine learning and other technologies in a wide range of areas such as content personalization, product development and business strategy. As a key part of delivering on this mission we have set out to build a state-of-the-art analytics platform in the Microsoft Azure cloud environment.

We work cross-functionally with other teams in an environment characterized by initiative, collaboration and innovation to build an effective technology ecosystem with the right frameworks, capabilities and tools. This is centered around our goal of tackling business challenges by predicting outcomes, understanding complex data relationships and constructing models that make a decisive difference for the bank and our customers.
Your Role
As a Data Engineer you will be part of building and improving our data and analytics platform. This includes a journey to build, and migrate to, a new analytics platform in Azure by creating solutions for everything from data ingestion and orchestration to machine learning pipelines.

The role also includes collaborating with other data engineers, data scientists, software engineers and business analysts in specific data science projects to generate insights and models that inform and automate decision making.

You will enjoy the freedom to explore new projects and solutions, the support to think outside the box and the opportunity to expand your data engineering skillset through development opportunities and researching innovative tools and techniques to level up our capabilities.
