Your responsibilities

Welcome to Core Technology, where we engineer solutions that directly support Nordea's transformation. We provide a holistic technological view and a structured understanding of the bank and its surrounding environment, enabling the Customer Vision and the Nordea 2030 Strategy. A core pillar of this strategy is the modernization of our data estate, positioning data platforms as critical foundational enablers for advanced analytics and AI at scale.
We are looking for a Senior Data Mesh Platforms Engineer to join our Data Mesh and AI Platforms team. You will join a small, agile team with a strong mandate to drive impact across Nordea. Your success after one year means we have stable, scalable, and reusable data platform capabilities in production, enabling domain teams to efficiently build and operate high‑quality data products.
About our team
Welcome to the Data Mesh and AI team. We operate at the infrastructure layer of Nordea's data estate, building and maintaining shared data platform capabilities that enable Data Mesh and large‑scale analytics and AI use cases. Our mission is to re‑use, integrate, and standardize technologies already adopted at Nordea, ensuring they are delivered in a consistent, secure, and scalable way across the organization.
The team plays a key enabling role for the Data Product Hub under Group Data Management (GDM) by providing robust foundations for data integration, streaming, analytical storage, and governance. In this role you will contribute to the ongoing evolution of our platforms while also ensuring operational stability, reliability, and compliance in a banking‑grade environment. You will work closely with data product teams, platform owners and engineers, and AI stakeholders to ensure data products are discoverable, interoperable, and ready for AI and analytics consumption.
This is a fulltime permanent position with a hybrid working location in Gdansk / Gdynia, Poland.
What you'll be doing:
* Designing, implementing and maintaining headless data platform capabilities that support Data Mesh principles
* Integrating and standardizing data ingestion and streaming patterns
* Building and operating analytical data foundations based on Iceberg and Snowflake
* Enabling governed data access via Amazon S3, Lake Formation, and fine‑grained policies
* Supporting API‑based integration layers using Kong
* Provisioning infrastructure using Terraform
* Enabling private connectivity via AWS PrivateLink or Google Private Service Connect
Who you are
You have hands‑on experience building modern data platforms, understand Data Mesh principles, and can balance platform evolution with operational stability in a regulated environment.
