Senior Platform Engineer
Are you ready to take on meaningful data platform engineering challenges and contribute to one of Finland's largest and most advanced data platforms?
Veikkaus is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join their team working with a modern platform that brings together gaming event data, customer information from one of the largest customer bases in Finland, and online store activity. What sets this role apart is the opportunity to work with one of the most extensive and diverse data sets in the country - a rare chance in the Finnish market. The position is permanent and full-time.
In this role you will also help build an entirely new data platform to support Veikkaus' international expansion. This means a unique opportunity to shape something from the ground up and make a lasting impact.
You'll join a dedicated platform team developing and maintaining Veikkaus' data platform infrastructure. The work covers centralized data collection, processing, and distribution, as well as the tools that enable data engineers in their daily work. Your role is hands-on: designing, building, and maintaining platform architecture to keep it scalable, reliable, and efficient. You'll manage core infrastructure and cloud services, while supporting development projects across the organization - contributing directly to the foundation that enables data-driven solutions and advanced analytics.
Veikkaus' current tech stack includes GCP native services such as BigQuery, Pub/Sub and Cloud Functions, as well as Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Apache Kafka, Apache NiFi, Pentaho and DBT. We value experience in real-time data processing and cloud environments, but we do not expect you to master everything in advance. What matters most is a strong technical foundation, a genuine interest in platform development, and the ability to learn quickly. Experience with DevOps is also beneficial, as we have recently transitioned into a cloud-based operating model.
Your skills and experience:
- Developing technical solutions (such as platforms, applications, and tools) is your passion.
- Experience with data streaming technologies such as Apache Kafka and Apache NiFi.
- Cloud & Kubernetes management, including Docker, Kubernetes operators, Helm charts, and service meshes
- GCP services such as Compute Engine, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Tasks
- Infrastructure management & automation with Terraform and Terragrunt (IaC)
- Networking components such as VPCs, API Gateways, and Load Balancers
- CI/CD pipeline development with GitLab
- Python and Bash scripting for automation and tooling
- Monitoring & logging with Prometheus and Grafana
- You have the ability to understand the needs of different stakeholders and find suitable solutions for them.
- You are a team player and communicate in English and possibly also in Finnish with various stakeholders.
We offer:
- A workplace where the game evolves - and so do you. You'll face meaningful challenges and gain new skills while contributing to shared success - in Finland and beyond. We value curiosity and create the space for it to thrive.
- Inspiring and supportive teammates you can rely on. The best ideas and world-class entertainment are built together - and Veikkaus thrives because of its people.
- Balanced and inspiring work life. At Veikkaus, we believe a good job adds something to life - but isn't all there is to it.
- The opportunity to work with and fully leverage modern technologies, including scalable cloud technologies.
- The opportunity for long-term work without the constant pressure of delivery project deadlines.
- Excellent employee benefits. You can read more about us and our benefits from here.
It is important to us that everyone can come to work as their authentic selves. We value diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives, and believe that success comes from working in diverse teams. We encourage individuals from various backgrounds to apply for our jobs.
The position is located at Veikkaus' headquarters in Pohjois-Haaga, Helsinki. We work flexibly in a hybrid model with three on-site days per week. Please note that the job requires a valid residence permit from all non-EU citizens.
