Data Governance Engineer

On behalf of a partner company, Nordic Investin is looking for a Data Governance Engineer. You want technical choices, delivery and production behaviour to reinforce each other, even when the constraints are difficult. The partner is strengthening its capability in practical data governance implemented through metadata controls and automation. You will connect data catalogues, lineage and quality rules while ensuring that access controls and Python and SQL receive appropriate discipline. The aim is practical progress that colleagues can use, leaders can evaluate and the organisation can sustain. The environment rewards early questions, visible trade-offs and engineering discipline. Security and operability belong in the design. How you will work You will work with product, architecture, security, operations and domain colleagues. The partner values short feedback loops, evidence from real systems and direct communication. This role calls for solid delivery experience and the appetite to take broader ownership. You are expected to make trade-offs visible, recognise when a decision needs wider expertise and move work forward without creating unnecessary process. What you will do Own the practical direction for practical data governance implemented through metadata controls and automation. Translate goals and constraints into a clear approach for data catalogues and lineage. Establish useful standards, routines or decision artefacts around quality rules. Coordinate stakeholders and dependencies affecting access controls. Use evidence and measurable outcomes to improve Python and SQL. Strengthen knowledge sharing and sustainable ownership through governance workflows. What you will bring Relevant experience delivering practical data governance implemented through metadata controls and automation in a demanding environment. Strong working knowledge of data catalogues and lineage. Practical experience applying quality rules and access controls. Ability to assess priorities, risks and trade-offs involving Python and SQL. Evidence of clear stakeholder communication and dependable end-to-end ownership. Professional English and the judgement to work with sensitive or business-critical information. Experience that would add value Experience from regulated enterprises and shared data platforms. Exposure to governance workflows in a cross-functional or multi-team environment. Swedish language skills or experience working across Nordic organisations. A background that can succeed here Your background may be product engineering, platform work, enterprise technology or consulting. What matters is technical depth connected to user and business consequences. Direct experience of practical data governance implemented through metadata controls and automation is valuable, while adjacent experience counts when it shows transferable judgement. What makes the opportunity interesting The role offers meaningful ownership and the opportunity to influence both the solution and the decisions around it. The focus on practical data governance implemented through metadata controls and automation gives the opportunity a clear mission and room to influence priorities and success measures. The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process.
