Your New Job

The IT unit at the Swedish Work Environment Authority is in a growth phase and consists of four sections, and it is now time to recruit a Data Engineer for the development section. The section consists of 11 employees currently distributed across two development teams.

The goal of the IT unit is to develop a future-proof system support that meets the authority's growing needs for digitalization, data access, decision support, and advanced analyses such as AI. At the same time, we need to focus on managing technical debt by making the systems easy to maintain and further develop in the long term. Our goal is to build an organization that can grow with more development teams and strengthen our competence in development and modernization.

The Swedish Work Environment Authority aims to become more data-driven and make decisions and develop our working methods based on data and analysis. For us as an IT unit to support the organization in this journey, we need to develop and modernize our data and analysis platform. Our existing architecture is based on SQL Server, SSIS, and SSRS and is entirely on-premise. We now want to open up to cloud solutions and move towards a hybrid architecture such as Microsoft Azure Data Factory/Fabrics.

As a Data Engineer, you play a central role in driving this development from architecture, design, development, and implementation. By working closely with management, projects, and stakeholders, you have the ability to understand the technical needs and challenges that exist for the authority to become more data-driven.

Responsibilities

• Design and build various storage solutions such as data warehouses, data lakes, and data marts.
• Develop and optimize ETL processes for data management.
• Ensure scalable and efficient solutions for data flows and processing.
• Work with modern technologies and cloud platforms.
• Be responsible for developing the technical platform around data management.
• Collaborate closely with information architects, data analysts, BI and system developers, and other stakeholders to provide the right data at the right time.
• Identify and implement improvements to optimize performance and quality in data management.

Your Background

The role requires that you have:

• Post-secondary education in systems, information, or computer science, or equivalent knowledge acquired through work experience that we assess as equivalent.
• At least 2 years of current experience as a Data Engineer.
• Experience in designing and implementing data warehouses and data flows.
• Experience in programming, with a particular emphasis on Python.
• At least 2 years of experience working with databases and SQL.
• Good ability to communicate in Swedish and English, both orally and in writing.

It is meritorious if you have:

• Experience in solution architecture for data platforms.
• Experience in .NET and C#.
• Experience with cloud platforms, with a particular emphasis on Microsoft Azure Data Factory/Fabrics.
• Knowledge of container technology such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with Azure DevOps.
• Experience in Machine Learning.

To succeed in the role, you need to have good problem-solving skills and a desire to drive development and modernization. Furthermore, we see that you are results-oriented, collaborate well, and contribute to a good collaborative climate. You are service-oriented and attentive to the needs of the organization and contribute to long-term development in line with the section's and unit's mission. In the selection process, we will place great emphasis on your personal competencies.

Employment with us may mean that the position is placed in a security class. Security checks with or without background checks may therefore be conducted before a decision on employment. For some of our tasks in security class, Swedish citizenship is required. Security checks are conducted according to the Security Protection Act (2018:585).

We are proud to use our knowledge and trust in our important societal mission. Together we create an inclusive culture that encompasses heart, courage, and brain. With us, you become an important part of something bigger.

The employment is a permanent position, full-time, and is currently located at our office in Solna. We apply individual salary setting and a six-month probationary period.

We strive for all employees to have a sustainable work environment and a balance between work and leisure. Therefore, we apply trust-based working hours for managers and provide the opportunity for remote work where the business allows.

About Us and Our Benefits and Conditions

How We Recruit

We use competency-based recruitment, both to ensure the quality of the recruitment and to counteract discrimination. We therefore ask you to only attach a CV and answer a few questions instead of a personal letter when you register your application. Since we work competency-based, we also use psychological tests in this recruitment. Interviews will take place at the end of week 13.

We believe it is important that you also get to assess us. Therefore, we welcome questions before and during the recruitment process. Union contacts are Adam Jansson for Saco, Eva Parissay for ST, and Jenny Bengtsson for Seko. All can be reached via the Swedish Work Environment Authority's switchboard: 010-730 90 00.

Would you like to work with us to ensure that no one becomes ill, injured, or dies from work?

Welcome with your application by March 4, 2026!
