Welcome to Redpill Linpro, the leading provider of Open Source services and products in the Nordic countries. Our business concept is to offer services that accelerate and help spread open-source software. We are an open-minded and humble company with a strong focus on knowledge sharing. We are passionate about available solutions, open business models and an open society where we work together for maximum benefit to everyone.

What is this position about and why would you want it?!
You would be joining the nascent Data & Analytics team within Redpill Linpro, where we together will build up a fun, challenging and rewarding team of data professionals! Working as a data engineering consultant based in a D&A team, that in turn is part of a greater team of other technical consultants within Redpill Linpro – will provide an excellent combination of continuous personal development, good salary and varying projects!

What specifically we will work on, will of course depend on ongoing projects, but generally the vision has a couple of overarching components:
-Technology: Google Cloud platform through Bigquery, Looker & Data Studio, BQML, Vertex AI and more, is going to be our main focus. Not limited to of course, since our clients will likely have a plethora of different tech stacks, and as a data professional we love to learn!
-Utilizing the latest trends such as analytical engineering & ingestion platforms.
-Learning: A typical treat of a true data professional is the need to keep developing, trying new things. Being coached, coaching others and supporting each others’ projects will be a core aspect of the team.
-For the clients: Typically it costs a company more to have consultants compared to employees, however this will not be the case for us. We will be a team of experts that through experience, skills, using the right tools for the job and helping each other – will deliver serious value-for-money.
-Teamwork: We will take inspiration from other consulting industries such as management consulting, and utilize the synergies found in combining seniors with juniors in projects. For more leverage on the seniors’ experience and higher efficiency/learning for the juniors

A data engineer typically needs to have a strong technical understanding of our tools, build pipelines, design data models, understand business logic and much more that you are familiar with. Acting as a consultant also adds an additional dimension where communication & collaboration skills are highly valuable.

This is an opportunity for you to:
-As a consultant you will be allowed to really focus on the project at hand.
-As a consultant you will see more companies, projects, data environments – which can be challenging but also developing!
-Work with other D&A ambitious colleagues who likes to learn and move fast.
-Be part of a larger group of technical consultants.
-Be able to boost your salary through your performance.

Experience & training we believe that you have:
-You have a strong and relevant academic background that supports you in your work. Such as computer science, engineering, Mathematics, informatics or a related degree.
-You have worked on cloud data warehouses before, and preferably have been designing environments and data models in these as well.
-You have at least some experience in developing Business Intelligence, dashboards, reports as well.
-Even if doing analysis may not be your forte, you are at a minimum skilled at supporting the business in delivering it, and understanding the business requirements around it.
You have at least 3 years of experience working as a data professional, with at least 1 of those in a data engineering role and with cloud based solutions.
-Orchestration, joins, data types, computational efforts, (de)normalized data, APIs, nested tables - are concepts that you are adept in.
-We are looking for both senior and junior team members – being able to have a mix of junior and senior team members is a recipe for success!

View on the technical skills needed:
-Cloud datawarehouses: Bigquery primarily, but redshift and azure are a plus as well.
-On-premise datawarehouses: Not our focus, but very useful to be able to manage and develop non-cloud datawarehouses such as mysql/mariadb/mongodb, since many companies are either already invested in these, require on-premise or otherwise at least have data sourced from them.
-Orchestration: A good orchestration design is key to a good data model. If you are used to Airflow, dbt, and dataform are all good. The greatest strength lies in understanding the orchestration steps and the process around it.
-BI tools: Looker & Data studio are likely our main bets – but clients will often have other existing installations, so wide experience in being able to develop in different BI tools, is good.
-Version control: You are comfortable with GIT version control and understand why it is so useful.
-Languages: The more the better as a consultant, but you are an expert in SQL and quite advanced in Python at least.
