Data Engineer

As a Data Engineer on the EDP team within Nokia’s Digital Office and Enterprise Chief Data Office, you will help build a modern data-as-a-service platform that combines platform engineering, pipeline development, and analytics enablement. The role spans scalable data ingestion, transformation, and delivery across a growing and evolving platform.

You will join a global team working across multiple countries and collaborate closely with architects, technical leads, product owners, fellow data engineers, and broader IT partners. This is an individual contributor role with a strong emphasis on teamwork, learning, and shared ownership of the platform.

The platform sits at the forefront of cloud data engineering, giving you exposure to evolving Databricks and Azure capabilities as they are adopted and put into practice. You will also work alongside specialist partners - including platform vendors, independent software

• Build, maintain, and improve ingestion pipelines, notebooks, and data assets on Azure and Databricks using Delta Lake and PySpark, supporting reliable data delivery across the platform.
• Develop and optimize SQL and Python solutions that improve pipeline performance, data quality, and platform stability.
• Partner with architects, leads, product owners, and engineering peers to understand requirements, troubleshoot issues, and deliver practical data solutions.
• Provide specialist platform support to the operations team by diagnosing pipeline and platform issues, sharing deep technical knowledge, and guiding effective resolutions.
• Contribute to Power BI reporting and analytics enablement, turning curated platform data into useful insights for stakeholders.
• Use CI/CD practices in Azure DevOps to test, deploy, and maintain platform changes safely and efficiently.
• Help evaluate and apply new platform capabilities in partnership with internal architects and external specialists, turning emerging features into reliable engineering patterns for the team.
• Apply AI-assisted tools daily for research, design, coding, testing, and documentation, using them to move faster while maintaining engineering quality.
