We are looking for a Senior Data / AI Engineer to design, build, and scale modern data platforms and AI-driven solutions. You will operate at the intersection of data engineering, analytics engineering, and applied AI - leveraging robust data pipelines and transformation workflows to enable advanced analytics, machine learning, and emerging AI agent use cases.
This role is especially well-suited for someone with a strong consulting background who is comfortable working in client-facing environments, translating ambiguous business requirements into structured, production-ready data and AI solutions.
Do you want the unique possibility to invest in the next generation of tech startups while building large-scale solutions for mid-to-large enterprises?
Then VNTRS might be the right fit for you!
Location: Stockholm (Onsite/Hybrid)
At VNTRS, you are more than an engineer; you are a builder and an investor.
Ownership & Equity: We combine the impact of high-level consulting with the strategic upside of venture capital. Through our unique model, you gain ownership in the companies we support, becoming a shareholder in our diverse portfolio of over 35 ventures.
The Investment Council: You’ll have the opportunity to join our Investment Council and help decide which startups we back next.
AI Strategy & Workshops: Beyond pure engineering, you will help our internal AI Forum on the business side - conducting workshops and identifying AI possibilities for our mid-to-large size clients.
The Role: Tech & Innovation
You will join a collaborative group of experts dedicated to high-quality code and modern solutions. In this role, you will bridge the gap between Software Engineering and Advanced Data Science.
Must-haves:
Consulting Experience: 6-7+ years of experience in data engineering or analytics engineering, with a strong track record in consulting, professional services, or client-facing project work. Proven ability to manage stakeholder expectations and deliver solutions in dynamic environments.
Expert-level dbt: Deep experience in modular data modeling, including macros, custom materializations, and version-controlled SQL.
Production-grade Python: Ability to write clean, reusable code (not just scripts) using testing frameworks like pytest and dependency management.
Modern Cloud Warehousing: Senior-level expertise in BigQuery or Snowflake, with a strong focus on architecture and performance optimization.
Data Engineering Best Practices: Experience implementing CI/CD for data, data quality monitoring, and automated testing.
Preferred skills:
AI & LLM Foundations: Experience with Vector Databases (e.g., Pinecone, pgvector) and building data pipelines for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).
Advanced Orchestration: Hands-on experience with Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect for complex workflow management.
Distributed Processing: Experience with Apache Spark (PySpark/Scala) for handling large-scale, decentralized data.
FinOps Mindset: A track record of monitoring and optimizing cloud compute costs and warehouse spend.
MLOps: Familiarity with Vertex AI or similar platforms for managing the machine learning lifecycle.
Semantic Layer: Experience defining metrics and business logic via the dbt Semantic Layer or MetricFlow.
Our culture is built on our values: Adventurous, Caring, and Inspiring.
Community: We are a dog-friendly office (Barkend developers welcome!) that loves spending time together through Hackathons, After Works, and communal lunches.
Balance: We respect that everyone is in different stages of life. Your well-being and work-life balance are top priorities.
Growth Mindset: You own your trajectory: we simply provide the space and resources for you to master new tech, sharpen your business acumen, and evolve far beyond just your technical field.
