Overview:
DATA ENGINEER – Enterprise Data Hub
Join us in transforming global logistics. At Wallenius Wilhelmsen, we don’t just move cargo, we move the world.
As the market leader in roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipping and vehicle logistics, we manage the global distribution of cars, trucks, and heavy equipment across six continents. With 125 vessels, 66 processing centers, and 8 marine terminals, we are reimagining how global logistics can be smarter, greener, and more connected.
We’re on a mission to lead the green transition in logistics and aim to be carbon neutral by 2040. Join our transformation journey and help shape the future of digital supply chain solutions.
We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to build and operate the Data Hub platform - a core enabler for Enterprise Orchestration and data-driven decision-making across our global operations.
This is a hands-on engineering role (70% engineering / 30% design and enablement).
You will work closely with business process experts in Shipping, Logistics, and Supply Chain Management, as well as architects, platform teams, and initiative teams, to deliver scalable, production-grade data products. This is a high-impact role where you will contribute directly to shaping how our data platform is built, operated, and consumed.
Job Description:
The Data Hub provides end-to-end, real-time intelligence across Logistics, Shipping, Operations, Inventory, and Finance.
It enables forward-looking insights such as predicting volume flows, monitoring capacity constraints, and identifying congestion risks. Through standardized and governed data products, the platform supports faster decision-making and operational efficiency across the logistics network.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
-
Design, build, and operate scalable data pipelines and transformations within Microsoft Fabric (MF) and Azure.
-
Develop and maintain reusable, production-grade data models and entities (e.g. Cargo, Capacity, Voyage) aligned with the enterprise data model
- Implement and enforce medallion architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold), with a strong focus on high-quality, reusable Silver layer data
- Build data products with clear ownership, SLAs, documentation, and governed interfaces (data contracts)
- Contribute to event-driven and near real-time data patterns where relevant to enable low-latency use cases
- Ensure data quality, monitoring, observability, and operational reliability across all pipelines and data products
- Implement CI/CD and automation using GitHub, and contribute to Infrastructure as Code practices (Bicep)
- Collaborate with architects and platform teams to align on standards, patterns, and platform evolution
-
Enable initiative teams through reusable components, onboarding support, and clear consumption patterns
