Meet Astrid, Head of Data Engineering
"Data availability and quality are crucial to Danske Commodities’ success in the market, and the whole business therefore depends heavily on our team’s ability to deliver and maintain the data needed. As head of the Back-office team, I am ultimately responsible for all data solutions being used by Risk Management, Treasury and F&A as our primary stakeholders. Fortunately, I have a team of experts to do the actual development, and therefore my finest task is to ensure my team has the needed resources, capabilities and mandate to perform their best work while ensuring both the team as a whole and the individual team members thrive and continuously grow. The best part of my job is of course my team and how we help each other, challenge each other and have fun together. In addition, I love the high degree of flexibility and trust given to each employee and the endless opportunities to learn and grow in an ever-changing environment where no two days are the same.”
Meet Jakob, Senior Software Engineer
“Originally from Southern Jutland (“synnejylland”), I’m a misfit geek from the countryside. I experimented with music in my teenage years before letting myself engulf by academia and the world of nanoscience. This led me to a Bachelor and a PhD in Theoretical Physics which, perhaps a bit out of the ordinary, led to a Software Developer position in DC. A typical day at work does not exist at DC! But I divide my time between supporting the business (keeping the software systems running and solving what problems that may appear) and doing actual software development. Both tasks require a close contact with colleagues ensuring that development is on the right path and that support and maintenance works effectively.”
