Universal bank modernizing legacy systems with cloud data infrastructure
Nordea is Europe's top-10 financial services company by market cap, operating across 17 countries with 10,000+ employees. The tech stack reveals active migration toward cloud-native data infrastructure: Snowflake, dbt, and Apache Airflow are all in active adoption, while the project backlog centers on near real-time data pipelines and modernization. The hiring mix is heavily engineering-focused (72 roles) with significant data hiring (35 roles), signaling that infrastructure overhaul is the primary strategic initiative—a typical posture for large banks unwinding decades of fragmented local systems and legacy integrations.
