Supply Chain Data Architect (Data Platform)

Job Description

About the Role:

We are looking for a motivated and technically skilled professional to join our Supply Chain team as our first dedicated Supply Chain Data Architect. This person will play a crucial role in building and developing our newly initiated Microsoft Fabric-based data platform, integrating data from SAP and various external sources.

The ideal candidate will combine hands-on data engineering expertise with the curiosity and capability to drive technical architecture discussions, translating business requirements into tangible solutions. Initially, this role will balance technical implementation (data engineering) and architecture tasks, with additional opportunities for leadership and product ownership as the platform matures.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and expand our Microsoft Fabric data platform, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance.
• Implement robust data ingestion pipelines, primarily using PySpark, from SAP and various external sources (e.g., handheld operational scanners, 3rd party distributors).
• Collaborate closely with business stakeholders to understand and translate use cases into clear, actionable technical requirements.
• Suggest and justify enhancements to platform architecture, adhering to existing guardrails while continuously seeking improvement opportunities.
• Maintain an efficient balance between new feature development and ongoing platform maintenance.
• Act as a bridge between technical solutions and business teams, proactively communicating and facilitating data-driven decision-making across the organization.
  
  

What a Typical Day Looks Like:

• Developing or optimizing PySpark-based data ingestion pipelines from source systems.
• Writing, optimizing, and maintaining SQL-based data transformations.
• Participating in collaborative meetings with business stakeholders to discuss requirements and demonstrate solutions.
• Proactively troubleshooting and resolving platform-related issues to ensure operational continuity.
• Engaging with external senior experts occasionally to discuss architectural decisions or complex issues.
• Contributing to documentation, training, and knowledge sharing within the business teams.
  
  

Competencies Required:

Hard Skills:

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric or similar end-to-end data platforms (Azure Synapse, Databricks, Snowflake).
• Proficiency in SQL and experience building and maintaining complex data pipelines.
• Practical experience with Python, especially PySpark for data ingestion and transformation.
• Basic familiarity with Azure infrastructure components (e.g., Azure Blob Storage).
• Experience integrating enterprise applications (e.g., SAP) and external data sources is highly advantageous.
  
  

Soft Skills:

• Strong communicator, able to explain complex data and platform concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Highly collaborative and able to independently manage technical tasks while maintaining open dialogue with business users.
• Proactive attitude towards engaging the business in using and understanding data.
• Curious, growth-oriented mindset—able to develop from a mid-level role into a future senior or leadership position.
  
  

What We Offer:

• Flexible location (Nordics or any Nexi locations possible).
• Opportunity to significantly shape and influence the growth and direction of a critical data platform within a supportive team environment.
• Professional growth, including access to senior experts and training opportunities to accelerate your development into more senior or leadership roles.
