At UpCloud, you’ll be literally building the cloud.

We’re on a mission to be the number #1 European cloud platform, built on performance, reliability, and trust. While data sovereignty has become a hot topic in the EU, we can proudly say that we’ve been mastering it since 2011.

Sometimes, cloud technologies can be offered as a patchwork of ready-made solutions. At UpCloud, however, you'll be working with something that we've built from the ground up!

At the speeding pace our business is growing, we need new hands on deck! We are looking for a SeniorData Engineer to join our small but skilled BI team at the very intersection of code (Engineer), understanding the business (BI), and structuring data (Modeling).

You will be a key influencer in deciding the future of our data infrastructure and how it supports our strategic business areas.

In this job, you will:

  • Dedicate ~60% of your time to the programming side: building our data platform, developing ETL processes, managing DAGs, and ensuring our data formation is robust and reliable.

  • Spend ~30% of your time as a Data Analyst, breaking down business questions from Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Product Managers into actionable data models straight into DAGs.

  • Work closely with all our relevant internal stakeholders to ensure they have the data they need to drive UpCloud’s growth.

  • Organize and take ownership of our in-house systems to make data more accessible and useful for every user in the company.

To succeed, you’ll need:

  • Relevant software engineering experience, with strong skills in Python and SQL

  • Advanced experience with GCP (BigQuery), ideally with other cloud data environments or on-prem platforms.

  • Strong experience with data analysis architecture and managing DAGs using tools like Airflow and dbt.

  • A "Builder" Mindset: you’re a pragmatic and experienced professional who knows how to build a data platform, confident in creating efficient structures from scratch while setting the practices to maintain them.

  • Excellentcommunication skills: you’re comfortable switching between active collaboration with lead engineers in the company and translating "tech-speak" for non-technical stakeholders. You proactively seek out information from your teammates.

  • Pragmatism: A delivery-focused approach where you "get your hands dirty" in a smaller, fast-paced team, instead of waiting for things to arrive at you.

We also appreciate:

  • Experience with data visualization tools such as Looker Studio, Tableau, or Power BI.

  • A background as a Data Engineer, Data Scientist, or Data Analyst who has transitioned/is transitioning into business-centric roles.

  • Previous experience in small data teams where you had to wear multiple hats and own the platform, from architecture to operation.

Why join UpCloud?

UpCloud is in an exciting phase right now, on track for massive growth in the cloud market. We offer a chance to be part of something big, where you can really make a difference! With our awesome team, products, and excellent positioning in the European cloud scene, UpCloud is in the perfect spot for anyone who wants to learn, grow, and shape the future of cloud tech.

You get to join a driven, highly motivated team committed to making a difference. We have a unique market opportunity in Europe with our strong local infrastructure because our biggest competitors are all US-based, which is what makes this such a captivating opportunity to learn and grow.

The pay range for this role is around 5500-6500 euros per month, depending on your seniority and location. The range is not set in stone, as we assess each case individually.

We review all applications and get back to all our candidates. That is a promise.
