Acne Studios AB · Stockholm · Tills vidare · Deadline 2026-11-03
Acne Studios is hiring an **Analytics Engineer** based at its Stockholm Head Office, reporting to the Manager Data Insights. The role focuses on building and maintaining the company’s data foundation by transforming validated data into well-documented, business-ready models across the gold layer. Core responsibilities include designing dimensional star-schema models, building reusable transformation pipelines with PySpark and SQL, and structuring data to enable **self-service analytics** in Power BI and Databricks Dashboards. You will also help establish a centralized semantic layer, maintain standard KPIs, run automated data quality tests, and collaborate with business stakeholders to translate needs into scalable data structures. Applicants need **strong dimensional modelling skills** alongside advanced experience in PySpark, SQL, Spark, and general Python for scripting and validation. Hands-on experience with the Databricks platform—including Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and workflows—or equivalent orchestration tools is required, together with fluency in English. Helpful familiarity includes Power BI, CI/CD for data assets, data quality frameworks such as Great Expectations, and AI-assisted Lakehouse tools.
