The environment is technically complex and is based on metadata-driven ETL design, Apache Iceberg, Spark, Trino, and OpenShift. This role is perfect for you who want to combine heavy technical development with a context where solutions make a real difference for healthcare and research.

• You finalize and further develop a metadata-driven ETL pipeline framework for a research platform.
• You develop data pipelines, backend services, and integrations with clinical source systems and databases.
• You maintain and further develop the Data Lake architecture using Apache Iceberg, Spark, and Trino.
• You ensure correct handling and anonymization of sensitive clinical data in accordance with current regulations.
• You build robust solutions on OpenShift with a focus on automation, test-driven development, and code review.
• You work closely with developers, product owners, and architects to create scalable and long-term sustainable solutions.

• An academic degree in Computer Science, System Development, or equivalent documented experience.
• At least 5 years of experience in system development with Python as the main language, focusing on data pipelines, backend services, and system integration.
• At least 3 years of experience in ETL/ELT development towards SQL databases and object storage.
• At least 3 years of experience with event-driven architecture and async message handling using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or equivalent.
• At least 3 years of experience working with container platforms such as Kubernetes/OpenShift and CI/CD solutions.
• At least 2 years of experience with distributed data processing using Apache Spark, including integration with Data Lake platforms.
• Documented experience with Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake as an open table format in a production environment.
• Documented experience with metadata-driven ETL design and pipeline frameworks in a production environment.
• Documented experience with PII anonymization, encryption, or hashing of sensitive clinical data in compliance with regulatory requirements in a production environment.
• Documented experience with Trino or equivalent distributed SQL query engine against a Data Lake in a production environment.
• Ability to collaborate with both technical and business-oriented teams.
• Fluent in Swedish and English, both written and spoken.

• Experience developing data pipelines or data processing services for large datasets in publicly funded healthcare or research activities involving clinical data.
• Experience taking independent responsibility for the design and implementation of Data Lake architecture with open table formats in environments handling clinical data.
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting in production environments, e.g., using Datadog, CloudWatch, or equivalent.
• Experience designing and implementing test and quality assurance frameworks for data pipelines in production environments, e.g., using pytest, Robot Framework, dbt testing, or equivalent.
• Experience implementing security solutions for systems handling sensitive data, e.g., secrets management, audit logging, or access controls.
