Data Engineer
Azure, Fabric, HR
Join a data engineering engagement building out ETL pipelines on a modern Microsoft Fabric/Azure data platform, with a strong focus on payroll and HR-related data across multiple source systems.
Start
02.11.2026, ASAP
Duration
3 months
Location
Hybrid, Helsinki
Allocation
50 - 100%
In this role, you will:
- Build and maintain ETL pipelines on the Azure/Microsoft Fabric data platform (final choice between Synapse and Fabric still being settled, though Fabric is the likely direction) using PySpark, SQL, Power BI, and Git.
- Fetch payroll data from several separate, local payroll systems and combine it with HR master data, so the combined dataset can support a range of downstream HR use cases.
- Work with data from several different payroll systems, with a strong ETL focus — integrations themselves are handled by a separate team, so this role is centered on the data engineering side.
- Handle HR and salary data, which is sensitive by nature.
- Apply modern data engineering practices, including regular (weekly) production deployments, rather than slower, less iterative release cycles.
You will thrive if:
- You have solid, hands-on experience with modern data engineering on Azure/Fabric (or Synapse), including PySpark, SQL, Power BI and Git-based workflows.
- You're comfortable working with ETL pipelines feeding from multiple source systems, including payroll-type systems.
- You're used to working at a fast, modern cadence — weekly production deployments rather than occasional big-bang releases.
- You can work responsibly with sensitive data (HR/salary) and are comfortable with the security considerations that come with it.
- You're fluent in English; Finnish is a plus.
- You're available to start in October/November, and can commit to at least 50% allocation (exact allocation still being finalized).
- You're comfortable with a hybrid setup — about one day a week on-site in Helsinki.
