Platform Engineer

Passionate about building platforms powered by cutting-edge cloud infrastructure and tech?

Come join us on our quest in delivering DNB's centralized, self-service Data & Analytics Platform!

As a part of the team delivering DNB's Data & Analytics Platform you will be key in building the platform-as-a-product and its capabilities, essential for the Bank to realise value from data. You will become part of a highly skilled, pragmatic, and autonomous team, which deliver technical solutions for and cooperate with and support Data Engineers and Data Scientists from all over the bank. A wide range of use cases from both business and tech are currently using the platform, and we are rapidly growing!

Our goal is to deliver a self-service platform which makes it a breeze to generate value from data, both ad-hoc and through building and incorporating insight into real business processes. Leveraging our platform, all the way from idea to production, should be as simple, flexible, scalable, robust, and friction-free as possible - principles which at all levels dictate the solutions and technologies we implement. We want our users to care as little about infrastructure and tech as possible such that they instead can stay focused on generating value from data and analytics. Our job is to build, provide and operate the best possible platform and infrastructure to enable them.

DNB's Data & Analytics Platform has been in the works for many years, and today consists of a vast array of custom and off-the-shelf services which provide the capabilities needed by Data Engineers and Data Scientists in DNB. The services range from DNB's enterprise data platform powered by Snowflake and dbt, via Graph Databases, IDEs, Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) tools, Web Applications hosting, and Documentation-as-code, to capabilities for data and machine learning pipelines. Everything built by leveraging cutting-edge cloud technologies and developed and operated with modern DevOps principles to offer DataOps and MLOps processes and principles for our users.

The platform is mainly built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using technologies like Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), serverfull and serverless, container technology, and more. You will enter an environment where we use DevOps and CI/CD in GitLab to deliver our platform with high speed and agility. As an engineer in our team, you will get deep experience with AWS in everything from network related challenges to security, compute, storage, access control and more. You will also be a part of and get responsibility for designing and architecting the solutions we are building.

We are looking for engineers who have experience with

  • Python or similar programming languages
  • Amazon Web Services or similar cloud platforms
  • Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) like Cloudformation, Terraform or similar
  • Container technologies and container orchestration tools, like AWS Elastic Container Service, Kubernetes, or similar
  • CI/CD and DevOps, and connected technologies like Gitlab, GitHub, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Travis CI or similar
  • Bonus: tools and capabilities in the Data & Analytics space, and/or some Data Engineering/Data Science competency

In addition, we look for someone with

  • Motivation for taking on a role as tech lead for one of our platform teams
  • The ability to learn quickly, solve problems, and be continuously challenged
  • The ability to both dive into the technology and code, but also to do platform advisory and support
  • A value driven mindset - whatever we do should in the end give value for the platform's users and for DNB
  • High proficiency in English (main work language), and ideally proficient in or willing to learn Norwegian

We offer as a team:

  • The opportunity to work with, shape and deliver the Data & Analytics platform in Norway's largest bank!
  • Deep hands-on with cutting-edge technology and cloud
  • A modern, agile development environment using CI/CD, DevOps, Slack and more
  • A pragmatic team with high focus on sharing, caring and delivering top-notch solutions
  • Responsibility and freedom to operate in an aligned but autonomous environment
  • A value-based working environment with high focus on work-life balance, inclusion and building culture
  • Tight cooperation with the platform's Platform Leads who are responsible for the platform-as-a-product
  • Top-notch equipment for maximum productivity

Don't have all the skills above? Apply anyway! If you are motivated, interested in learning and obtaining new skills, a great problem solver, and want to work in a team with great people, you are a potential candidate!

What we can offer you as an DNB employee:

Challenging tasks that allow you to grow professionally, competitive terms, a strong engineering culture, and good career opportunities. In addition, we want our Engineers to be happy and productive, so we provide high-end equipment and tools for our engineers.

We offer good pension conditions, employee terms on DNBs products, insurance schemes, access to resorts in Norway and abroad, sports, cultural and other activities plus a wide range of discount schemes. In addition, knowledge and experiences are our most important assets, so you will have the opportunity to participate in conferences and courses, both to build your own competency and to represent DNB externally.

We know the value of good work-life balance, so we have a hybrid model of working/WFH, flexible working hours, extra days off and reduced working hours from May to August (summertime).
