What you will do

• Own and evolve data pipelines that power Klarna’s externally-facing dashboards used by hundreds of thousands of merchants worldwide.

• Participate in all Partner Reporting initiatives, optimizing data flows to improve scalability, reliability, and standardization across markets and merchant segments.

• Build and maintain ETL / ELT pipelines that transform raw Klarna event and transaction data into merchant-ready KPIs such as funnel metrics, and customer insights.

• Automate and simplify complex reporting, replacing manual or semi-automated workflows with robust, production-grade data products.

• Collaborate closely with Data Modeling, Product Analytics, and Product Engineering teams to streamline pipelines, remove unnecessary transformation layers, and improve end-to-end data efficiency.

• Apply strong SQL-based analysis and feature engineering to ensure metrics are correct, explainable, and trusted — internally and externally.

• Help shape the foundation of a merchant analytics platform that goes beyond reporting: uncovering consumer trends, identifying high-intent shoppers, measuring campaign effectiveness, and enabling data-driven recommendations for partners.

Who you are

• Hands-on experience optimizing SQL-heavy pipelines and reducing unnecessary transformation layers.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with analytics, product, and engineering stakeholders — translating business needs into durable technical solutions.
