Data engineer

Build it. Run it. Learn from it. Join our Data Platform team to get real ownership and gain hands-on experience with Python, modern data platforms and data used across trading and forecasting.

The job

Here’s what the job entails

You will build, migrate and operate data ingestion pipelines, helping modernise how shared market data reaches our users. Working with senior data modellers and data-quality specialists, you will take responsibility for both the code you deliver and how it runs in production. This gives you hands-on experience of large-scale platform modernisation while developing your engineering skills.

More specifically, your responsibilities include:

• migrating existing data collectors (which fetch market and vendor data from websites, APIs and files) onto our modern data platform via our Python and C# based ingestion framework

• building new pipelines that deliver data both to the lakehouse (Databricks/Delta Lake) and to existing trading data systems

• making pipelines reliable: automated tests, data-quality checks, safe re-runs and the ability to reload historical data

• operating and improving the pipelines you build: monitoring data delivery, investigating failures and fixing recurring problems

• working with data scientists to understand their data requirements and make shared source datasets clean, reproducible and ready for use in forecasting and trading models

• contributing with documented examples and reusable pipeline patterns, helping other teams work with shared data and apply our engineering standards

The team

Meet the team

You will join Data Platform Enablement, the team that makes shared external market data trustworthy, consistent and reusable across Danske Commodities. We build and operate the pipelines that collect and harmonise this data, and establish common engineering methods, modelling principles and quality standards. Working alongside Data Platform Infrastructure, which provides the underlying platform capabilities, we help product teams, analysts and data scientists build on a reliable data foundation.

We are a newly formed team of six experienced data practitioners, growing to eight team members, and our backgrounds are currently within data engineering, data modelling, and data science. We are a hands-on team, where we set standards, but we also build and ship and we invest in growing the people who join us. We always seek to leave systems simpler and better documented than we found them.

You’ll build and operate production pipelines that our traders rely on daily, learning alongside senior data practitioners and taking on greater ownership as your experience grows.
