The ideal candidate will have 5 to 10 years of experience, preferably within banking or financial services, and a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. This is a full-time, onsite position for a duration of one year. Fluency in English is required, and knowledge of Swedish is preferred.

Key Responsibilities

- Contribute to the design of the target data warehouse architecture, including data ingestion, integration, modeling, historical storage, and analytical consumption.
- Ensure the architecture meets business and analytical requirements such as historical accuracy, traceability, data quality, and performance.
- Evaluate architectural alternatives and support critical technical decision-making processes.
- Provide practical guidance on implementation planning and manage technical dependencies.
- Review and challenge architectural assumptions and technical choices to ensure robustness.
- Identify risks, gaps, alternatives, and trade-offs within the architecture and delivery approach.
- Offer recommendations based on prior experience with banking data warehouse implementations.
- Act as a knowledgeable sparring partner to the existing technical leadership team.
- Translate architectural designs into implementable solutions.
- Participate in critical design reviews and provide ongoing guidance during implementation phases.
- Share relevant lessons learned and best practices with the project team.
- Conduct independent architecture assessments, including risk analysis and alternative evaluations.
- Contribute to the documentation of a clear, implementable target data warehouse architecture.
- Support architecture decision-making by providing rationale and recommendations for technical choices.
- Deliver targeted architecture reviews and offer implementation support to reduce delivery risks.

Required Qualifications

- Proven track record in designing and delivering production data warehouse solutions within banking or financial services.
- Strong expertise in modern data platform architectures, including data modeling, data integration, ETL/ELT processes, historical data management, and technology evaluation.
- Experience with modern data warehouse and lakehouse architectures, including SQL-based platforms, object storage, and managing historical data.
- In-depth knowledge of complex financial data requirements, including auditability, data lineage, and regulatory reporting.
- Ability to evaluate architectural alternatives while balancing quality, complexity, cost, and delivery risks.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to constructively challenge technical proposals.
- Practical hands-on implementation experience in banking environments is essential; the role requires demonstrated delivery of comparable solutions, not just high-level advisory.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits

- Experience acting as a trusted sparring partner to technical leadership teams.
- Proven ability to share relevant experience and lessons learned effectively with project teams.
- Prior experience providing recommendations grounded in comparable banking implementations.

This role offers the opportunity to work onsite in Sweden on a high-impact project that aims to establish a scalable, maintainable, and risk-mitigated data platform.
