Senior Data Engineer/Architect

Salary Competitive

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to join our growing data team at Inven. You’ll be part of a high-energy product and engineering group where ownership is real and impact is immediate.

At Inven, AI isn’t an add-on — it’s the foundation of how we deliver value to our users. As a Data Engineer, you’ll work on complex, data-heavy features, shaping what a great AI-first product looks like. From designing scalable infrastructure to tackling novel data challenges, you’ll be at the core of our innovation.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and maintain robust, scalable data pipelines.

  • Build infrastructure to power AI-driven product features.

  • Collaborate with product and ML teams to turn raw data into insights.

  • Solve complex problems in data quality, retrieval, and transformation.

  • Shape the technical direction of a rapidly growing startup.

What We’re Looking For

We want someone who thrives in a startup environment: ambitious, curious, and eager to push boundaries. Specifically, you bring:

  • Proven track record in building and scaling data infrastructure and data products.

  • Strong technical skills: high proficiency in Python and SQL.

  • Hands-on experience with modern, cloud-based data infrastructure (AWS preferred, but Azure/GCP also valuable).

  • Familiarity with data orchestration tools (Flyte, Airflow, Prefect, etc.) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Kubernetes).

  • Experience with data processing frameworks (Spark, Snowflake, Postgres).

  • Bonus: Past work on entity resolution, unstructured-to-structured data extraction, document retrieval, ranking, or clustering.

  • Fluency in English

What we offer

  • A focus on building: minimal bureaucracy, no redundant overhead, no days lost to pointless meetings.

  • AI-first culture: front-row seat to building a truly AI-native product.

  • True autonomy over how you work, balanced with real accountability

  • A Helsinki city-center office with a strong in-office culture, gym access, and regular team events

  • Equity through our option plan. Help us build a unicorn, and the upside is yours too.

  • Some of the most ambitious, low-ego colleagues you'll work alongside

  • $12.75M Series A led by Ventech and Vendep Capital, with Lifeline Ventures and angel investor Risto Siilasmaa

  • Finland's AI Startup of the Year 2025, #10 fastest-growing early-stage startup in Europe, #3 fastest growing startup in Nordics
