Join our team to shape the future of data at Coop!

We see data as essential to our success as a business, and we are determined to reinvent our data landscape to make data access at Coop easy, safe, and reliable so we can leverage this important asset in delivering better value to our co-owners and customers even faster. We’ve started on our journey to achieve this vision by adopting a data mesh architecture and a domain-oriented organisational structure where autonomous value stream teams deliver data as a product to other teams and use this data to build compelling products. We have also built a complete, modern data platform where are gradually converging all major data sources and use cases across the company. In this endeavor, we need motivated people to make data a 1st class citizen.

Do you recognise yourself? Keep reading!

Your day-to-day may look somewhat like this:

• You’ll work as part of value stream teams (or cross-functional teams) to both extract and deliver data as a product internally in the organisation and to leverage data in creating attractive and valuable products for our customers.
• You’ll collaborate with data science and analytics to create compelling new products and improve existing products. You’ll also be an enabler for our team of Data Scientists and Data Analysts by maintaining and building data pipelines, and deploying models on production in an MLOps fashion.
• You’ll help build our data and analytics platform highlighting critical patterns for performing data analytics, creating data products, and creating platform capabilities that can help teams perform these activities better and faster.
• You will help other technical teams ramp up on modern data scenarios and migrate their sources and use cases in our architecture. You will provide technical guidance and help them implement their pipelines and expose their data.
• You’ll contribute to fostering a modern data culture within Coop and strengthen our data-driven organisation.
