ABOUT LHV
We're building a bank the world actually needs – modern, sharp and genuinely human. We started in Estonia, growing through grit and high standards. Now we're taking on the UK and Europe. The next chapter is about doing the most ambitious work we've ever done, and changing how people experience money.
We run on three values: No Bullsh*t, Agile, and Never Satisfied. They're not wall art. They're how we make decisions, push each other and show up every day.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
You'll help us build a modern data platform within our Data & AI area. We aim to provide shared data foundations across the company so that teams can treat data as a product and move fast while staying secure, compliant, and consistent by default.
You'll work on core platform capabilities, ranging from the data catalog and self-service data lake provisioning to dbt runtimes, data quality, and computational governance. Your work will reduce friction for engineers and analysts by turning complex infrastructure and governance requirements into simple, reusable platform building blocks.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Data Catalog Ownership: Own and evolve our data catalog built on OpenMetadata, including custom integrations for in-house data sources and tight coupling with the data product lifecycle.
Efficient Platform Tooling: Build opinionated platform tooling that enables teams to create compliant data lakes in days, not months, using Terraform modules for S3, IAM, Lake Formation, and access patterns.
Reusable Component Design: Design and maintain reusable platform components such as dbt runtimes for transformations and tests, data quality checks, and standardized data contracts using Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS).
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with data engineers, analysts, and product teams to ensure data is secure, reliable, discoverable, and easy to consume.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Hands-on experience with AWS, especially S3, Glue, Athena, and Lake Formation. Depth in some areas matters more than breadth
Strong SQL and Python skills, with experience building and maintaining data pipelines or platform services. Knowledge of Spark is a plus
Practical experience with infrastructure as a code, preferably Terraform
Experience extending, integrating, or operating data platform tools such as data catalogs, metadata systems, or other open-source components
Understanding of data modeling, schemas, and contracts, and interest in making data interfaces explicit and reliable
Experience with DevOps and GitOps practices, especially for enforcing computational governance
Experience with Docker. Basic familiarity with Kubernetes is a plus.
A platform engineering mindset, thinking in terms of reusable components, paved roads, and developer experience
Familiarity with Snowflake, either as a user or an administrator, is a plus
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE
Help shape how a modern bank looks, feels, and operates.
Work with ambitious colleagues who value innovation and move fast.
Enjoy the freedom to experiment and the ownership to build real impact.
Grow professionally and personally through meaningful opportunities.
THE FUTURE WE'RE BUILDING
Banking has been ugly, slow and impersonal for too long. We're fixing that with solutions that respect people's intelligence and technology that actually works for them.
If that sounds like the kind of problem worth working on, let's talk.
