Would you like to work with Data in Norway's largest mortgage digitization project?

About the role
We are looking for a highly experienced Data Engineer to play a central technical leadership role in Data & Insight team as part of DNB's Mortgage Digitalisation Program. The role is instrumental in shaping, building, and operating the data and insight capabilities that enable efficient, compliant, and data driven mortgage journeys end to end.

The Mortgage Digitalisation Program is built around Snowflake, Kafka and mortgage orchestration platform by Stacc. Which orchestrates complex mortgage processes across channels, domain services, and underlying core banking systems. This orchestration layer produces critical process, events, and domain data that forms the backbone for reporting, analytics, insight and continuous improvement.

As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring that this data is transformed into trusted, well modeled, and actionable data products. You will act as the technical lead for the Data & Insight team, working closely with orchestration, server side, architecture, and product teams to ensure tight alignment between process execution and insight generation.

The role combines hands on data engineering, technical leadership, and operational responsibility, with a clear mandate to influence architecture, standards, and ways of working across teams. This role is well suited for someone who thrives at the intersection of data, complex process orchestration, and business critical decision support.

Responsibilities
As a Data Engineer, you will take end to end responsibility for data and insight capabilities within the mortgage domain, including:

• Technical leadership of the Data & Insight team in the mortgage digitalisation program, setting technical direction and ensure alignment with tech standards and best practices

• Design, development, and evolution of data pipelines and data products sourcing data from the orchestration Platform (Stacc), domain services, and core systems

• Ownership of data models, transformations, and semantic layers supporting analytics, reporting, process monitoring, and insight across the mortgage value chain

• Close collaboration with orchestration and server side teams to ensure data is correctly produced, enriched, and exposed as part of mortgage process flows

• Ensuring high data quality, consistency, traceability, and observability across systems, including proactive detection and resolution of data issues

• Operational responsibility for stable, secure, and compliant data solutions (DataOps ownership), including handling, and continuous improvement

• Contributing to and influencing data and solution architecture, ensuring alignment with architectural principles, regulatory requirements, and long term target state

• Acting as a technical authority and sparring partner for data engineers, analysts, architects, and product roles in the Data & Insight team.

• Strong proficiency in SQL and one or more programming languages commonly used in data engineering (e.g. Python, Java, Scala)

• Solid experience with data modeling for analytical and process oriented use cases (e.g. event based using Kafka, domain driven, or orchestration centric data models), including ownership of transformations and semantic layers

• Experience with modern transformation and analytics engineering practices and tooling (e.g. dbt), with a focus on testability, versioning, and long term maintainability of data models

• Experience working with data originating from orchestration platforms, integration layers, and event driven architectures

• Proven ability to take technical ownership across teams, guiding architectural and implementation decisions beyond a single delivery team

• Experience with cloud based data platforms and modern data tooling, such as AWS, Snowflake, and Hadoop

• Experience working with Git based development workflows (e.g. GitHub), including code reviews, pull requests, and CI/CD as part of production data solutions
