Data Engineer

Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every requirement. At Stegra, we’re building an impact-driven, sustainable company - and we need a diverse, inclusive team to make it happen.
If you share our passion but don’t meet every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be the perfect fit for this role, or another as we grow.
At Stegra, we’re not just building a plant, we’re proving that sustainable industry is possible. And to do that, we need people like you.
Join a team where safety comes first. Where we support each other, learn as we go, and make space for everyone to grow and contribute. This is your chance to be part of something big - while being closer to nature and leading a balanced, purposeful life.
What you’ll do
We are building a next-generation steel plant - and data is a core part of how we operate, optimize, and scale. We believe the best data solutions are created close to the business, by teams who understand both the context and the technology. We are now looking for a Data Engineer to join our Digital Domain supporting Finance and HR. In this role, you will work at the intersection of business and technology - helping shape how data is modeled, shared, and used to drive decisions across the organization. You will be part of a cross-functional team where business experts, analysts, and developers collaborate closely.
Together, you will build data products that are reliable, understandable, and designed to be reused across the company - not just for a single use case. At the same time, you will contribute to how we build our data platform and ways of working. We aim to continuously evolve - adapting to new technologies, improving how we design data, and staying aligned with modern best practices. You will also take a leading role in facilitating the data platform roadmap - aligning needs across domains, shaping priorities, and ensuring progress on key initiatives.
Responsibilities:
Design, build, and maintain data pipelines and products that enable Finance and HR to make reliable, data-driven decisions
Work closely with business stakeholders and analysts to translate needs into scalable data models and solutions
Help structure and expose data so it is consistent, understandable, and reusable across domains · Take an active role in improving how we work with data across teams - leading and driving improvements to platform capabilities, standards, and patterns
Enable self-service use of data by making it accessible and usable beyond engineering teams
Make thoughtful trade-offs in how data is designed and delivered - balancing batch vs near-real-time, handling historical data, and shaping metrics and semantics for usability
Define and promote best practices for data quality, testing, documentation, and access control
Explore how modern tooling, including AI-assisted development, can improve how we build, test, and maintain data products
Support and coach colleagues in modern data engineering practices

What you’ll bring
You enjoy solving real problems and are motivated by building data solutions that are actually used. You are curious about how data platforms should be designed — and how those designs need to evolve as technology and business needs change.
We believe you bring many of the following:
Several years of experience in data engineering or modern data platform development
Experience building end-to-end data solutions (ingestion, storage, transformation, consumption)
Interest in contributing beyond your immediate team — shaping shared ways of working, standards, and platform capabilities
Strong SQL skills and experience modeling data for analytical use
Experience with cloud-based data platforms and infrastructure-as-code
Knowledge of engineering practices such as CI/CD, testing, and code review
Ability to make sound technical decisions without being tied to specific tools or vendors
Interest in areas such as self-service analytics, semantic modeling, temporal data, and data governance
Experience working closely with business stakeholders, analysts, or operational teams
Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical solutions clearly

Nice to have:
Experience with, or interest in, industrial/operational (OT) data and how data from physical processes can be used for analytics and optimization

Benefits at Stegra
At Stegra, you’ll join a company where your work has real impact on the climate, the industry, and future generations. We’re building a culture rooted in safety, trust, and inclusion, where people feel supported to grow and thrive.
Here’s what makes this role unique:
Breadth, not silos: You’ll work across multiple technical areas - data, architecture, infrastructure and backend - gaining deep understanding of our digital ecosystem.
Ownership from day one: You’ll support a specific domain and act as a bridge between operations and tech, and drive solutions all the way from need to implementation and iteration.
Close to the action: You’ll collaborate closely with stakeholders, understand their workflows, and ensure your digital solutions create real value in their day-to-day operations.

This is Stegra
Stegra is on a mission to change the global steel industry by producing green hydrogen, iron, and steel - with the goal of eliminating CO₂ emissions. Instead of coal, we use green hydrogen and fossil-free electricity, meaning our primary emissions will be water and heat.
By 2030, our ambition is to produce 5 million tonnes of green steel annually in our fully integrated, digitized, and sustainable plant in Boden, Northern Sweden - currently under construction. But this is just the beginning. Our expertise in green hydrogen will enable us to decarbonize industries beyond steel, paving the way for a cleaner future.
Our Stockholm Office
Our modern Stockholm office is located on Norra Stationsgatan, close to Karolinska University Hospital in central Stockholm. Here, you’ll find a bright, collaborative workspace where cross-functional teams connect, share ideas, and drive progress. Whether you're visiting regularly or working hybrid, you'll be part of a vibrant office culture with easy access to the city’s energy and amenities.
