Data Engineer (Copenhagen, Danish Capital Region, DK)

Data Engineer 

Be part of building the data foundation for the key commercial strategic AI use cases, then take ownership of the MLOps infrastructure that gets our models into production. This is a chance to set the technical standard for the data and ML infrastructure at Lundbeck.

Your new role

You'll join our newly established data, insights and AI team in GCX. In your first phase, the priority is data engineering: building ingestion and integration across fragmented commercial data sources, standardizing definitions, and creating the shared data foundation the rest of the team builds on. As models move from prototype to production, your focus expands into MLOps: pipelines, deployment, monitoring and reliability for the models.

Your responsibilities will include 

Data engineering (near term focus)

Building and maintaining data pipelines that ingest and integrate data from systems such as Veeva, Marketing Cloud, Snowflake and other commercial systems

Designing a shared taxonomy and data model across fragmented, non standardized sources so the team is working from a common foundation

Ensuring data quality, consistency and reliability for analytics, ML and GenAI use cases

Partnering with Data Scientist(s) and GenAI Engineer to unblock their work with clean, well structured, accessible data

Partnering with BI so descriptive reporting and predictive pipelines draw from the same reliable foundation rather than duplicating effort

MLOps (growing focus as the team's models mature)

Building CI/CD pipelines for model deployment

Implementing experiment tracking and model registries (e.g. MLflow)

Setting up model monitoring for performance, drift and reliability in production

Supporting containerization and deployment via Docker and Kubernetes or cloud platforms

Establishing best practice for how models move from prototype to reliable production across the team

Platform and infrastructure

Managing cloud infrastructure (Azure and/or AWS) supporting the team's data and ML workloads

Applying infrastructure as code (preferably Terraform) for reproducible, version controlled environments

Implementing security, access control and secure coding practices across the data and ML stack

Automating operational tasks and maintaining Linux based environments

Your future team

You'll join GCX's newly established data, insights and AI team, responsible for the commercial intelligence layer: building competitively differentiating predictive intelligence loops. We stay close to the business to make sure what we build actually gets used, in service of reaching millions of people living with serious chronic diseases. The team is young enough that you'll help shape its culture and ways of working. This is a build from scratch opportunity, not a seat on an established team, and this role in particular lays the foundation everyone else builds on.

What you bring to the team

Degree in computer science, data engineering, software engineering or a related quantitative field

Several years of experience building data pipelines and integrating data across complex enterprise systems

Strong Python and SQL, with good engineering practice (Git, testing, documentation, reusable code)

Experience with cloud platforms and infrastructure as code

Experience with Docker and Kubernetes

Understanding of data modeling, taxonomy design and data quality practices for messy, fragmented or newly created data sources

Comfort working in ambiguity, building foundational infrastructure before the full picture of downstream use cases is settled

Strong communication skills and the ability to partner closely with data scientists, engineers and BI colleagues

Nice to have

Hands on MLOps experience: CI/CD for models, model registries, experiment tracking (e.g. MLflow), model monitoring

Experience with Terraform or similar infrastructure as code tooling

Experience with Veeva, Salesforce Marketing Cloud or Snowflake specifically

Experience in pharma, healthcare, life sciences or commercial analytics

Familiarity with GenAI/LLM infrastructure needs (vector databases, embeddings pipelines) even without building GenAI applications directly
