Data Architect for Production Core Unit, Solna/Hybrid

Are you passionate about driving change? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment where you can shape the future of logistics and how parcels are delivered – both physically and from an information perspective? Look no further! PostNord, the leading supplier of communication and logistics solutions in the Nordic region, is searching a talented Data Architect to join our ongoing transformation journey.

Join us

Postnord is undergoing a large transformation within the Production domain to modernize and harmonize our IT across the Nordics. We are leaving a monolith-centric past and entering into a streaming and microservice based future in the cloud.

As a Data Architect in the Production Core unit, you will be in the heart of production, creating data structures and information flows that impact how systems interact and collaborate. You will be working from operational all the way to strategic level. In collaboration with others, you will be taking decisions with immediate implications on agile development team’s backlogs.

Job duties

Central to PostNord’s new architecture, is a streaming based platform where all messages are controlled by a schema registry. The schemas essentially decide what information is being exchanged between sub-domains. The underlying data model is under development and will continue to evolve. To be effective, the model must cater for business needs while at the same time being lean and straight forward.

The Data Architect will work closely with other architects on different levels, development teams, and also with the business – to evolve the data model and design services tightly coupled with it. You will ensure that agreed on company-wide architecture principles and guidelines are followed, while also innovating and challenging status quo. In this role, you will be in a good position to play an important role in our ongoing tech-transformation and future success!
