Senior Data Engineer (Azure, Fabric, dbt) — Remote, Vietnamese & English Fluent

Job Description

About Huenx AS

Huenx AS is an AI-first consultancy and product company based in Norway. We deliver software and AI consulting services to clients across Norway and Europe, and we build our own AI-driven products. Our model brings together Norwegian business insight and senior Vietnamese engineering talent — small, highly skilled teams that work effectively with AI to deliver faster than larger organizations.

We run data-intensive projects across multiple industries — property and compliance platforms, industrial AI in oil and gas, and workflow automation. We are hiring for both full-time and hourly engagements.

The role

This is a hands-on senior data engineering role. You build and own the data pipelines and models that power reporting and AI across our client projects — on Azure and Microsoft Fabric, end-to-end. You use AI tools as a core part of how you work, not an afterthought. You work directly with our team and our international clients, so clear English communication is essential.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and transformation workflows on Microsoft Fabric and Azure.
• Implement a clean medallion architecture (bronze / silver / gold) for layered, reliable data.
• Build and manage transformation models with dbt.
• Build well-structured data models that serve both Power BI reporting and AI/ML consumption.
• Integrate data from diverse internal and external sources across multiple domains.
• Use AI tools (for coding and for daily work) as your default workflow to move fast without sacrificing quality.
• Document pipelines, transformation logic, and data models clearly.

Your Skills and Experience

• English: professional working proficiency. You must be able to communicate comfortably and clearly with international clients in English, both written and spoken.
• 5–10 years of data engineering experience, with hands-on ownership in production environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure and Microsoft Fabric. Required.
• Strong experience with dbt and medallion architecture. Required.
• Strong SQL and solid data modeling skills (star schema, ETL/ELT design patterns). Python is a plus.
• Familiarity with Power BI and how the data layer drives reporting performance.
• Experience with data pipelines that feed AI and ML models is a strong advantage.
• AI-first: proficient with AI tools for coding and daily work, and able to use them to deliver real, production-grade work. This is a core requirement, not a bonus.
• Able to work Norwegian business hours, which is 12:00 – 21:00 Vietnam time (ICT), Monday to Friday.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• AI-first working environment — you'll work with modern AI tooling every day, on both client projects and our own products.
• Remote and flexible, working Norwegian business hours (12:00 – 21:00 Vietnam time) — your mornings are free.
• Salary range: 1,500–3,000 USD (full-time equivalent), depending on experience and engagement type.
• For full-time roles: 13th-month salary, social insurance, company trips, learning and training, and other benefits according to company policies.
• Work on real, complex data problems — not simple pipelines.
• Opportunity to travel to Norway for onsite collaboration, or potentially relocate, depending on performance and project needs.
