Vacant job

Are you passionate about working with data and data products, and do you want to serve society by contributing to a strong and secure economy? Then this position is for you! We are looking for someone who wants to use their technical expertise to further develop how the Riksbank (Swedish Central Bank) works with data and analysis, with a focus on asset management and payments.

WHAT WE OFFER

You will have the opportunity to further develop your technical skills while deepening your knowledge of the Riksbank's areas of operation, enabling us to develop solutions that are easy to adopt and add value to the business. You will face challenges and become a key part of our transformation journey – from developing AI and automating data flows to building robust IT solutions, strengthening cyber security, and building the payment systems of the future. Here you solve complex problems and grow in a flat-hierarchy environment characterized by collaboration, curiosity, learning, and courage.

YOUR ROLE

The Riksbank's data and statistics on asset management and payments consist largely of micro- and transaction data. Payment statistics from financial institutions are in a development phase, meaning you will help design data flows from the ground up. You will work in an agile team with overall responsibility for your data and data products. Specifically, the role involves:

• Designing and developing data flows for processing large and detailed datasets
• Writing automated tests to ensure code quality and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Developing APIs to make data accessible
• Using marimo notebooks to visualize and present results
• Contributing to the development of how the Riksbank uses AI in its operations

YOUR TEAM

Your closest team members will be part of two of the Riksbank's data teams, where different competencies work side by side and learn from each other. The data team is part of the Riksbank's cross-functional business area Data and Statistics and consists of around twenty employees. Together with the data team, you will maintain close dialogue with relevant policy departments to deliver user-friendly, robust, and value-creating data and data products. Organizationally, you will belong to the Markets Department. Read more about the Riksbank's organization. (https://www.riksbank.se/en/about-the-riksbank/organisation/)

In addition to the above basic requirements, the following are meritorious:
