Nordax Bank | Date warehouse architect | REMOTE (EU) or ONSITE Stockholm Sweden | Full Time | https://www.nordaxgroup.com/

Nordax is a niche bank that operates in Europe with the main focus on the Nordics together with our subsidiary Bank Norwegian. Together with Bank Norwegian we have roughly two million private customers in seven countries, our product offering include deposits, mortgage loans, credit cards and private loans. We are growing quickly by challenging incumbent banks through an efficient digital customer interface (no branch offices) and by innovating with new financial products (e.g., filling underserved niches with new types of mortgage loan products).

We have one central data warehouse team that serve the organization with data. The team is currently expanding with more team members and rebuilding the data warehouse to meet the needs of the growing organization, so it is a good time to join in a senior technical role.

Nordax operates out of Stockholm with one office for all our employees, our subsidiary Bank Norwegian is based out of one office in Oslo. We offer a hybrid work model with part time in the office or fully remote for the right candidate.

Seems like Avanza competitor Nordnet is fairly transparent about loaning out your stocks. On by default for some account types (when the stocks are not in your name, e.g. KF account type). They will give you a cut of the gains. You can chose to opt out.

Sry for the confusion my bad, too late to edit unfortunately. As pointed out this is the link to the OP post that was missing initially as well.

Nice write up, really enjoyed it! Technical question, which approach did you use to create the formulas/equations?

Great work!

An alternative I have been using recently for some projects is Molnify [1], it has more focus on exposing calculation logic in the app created and less control over background images and layout. Takes either a Excel file or a google sheet doc as input.

Really brings you back to the good old days =) Even got the help topics exactly as in the original

We run a collaboration service [1] on AWS, nothing fancy in terms of infrastructure needs (DB, some EC2 instances and S3). We spend around 500 USD per month, but our largest customers run run our service on prem on their own servers.

Love how they use the terminology "neural lace" from the Culture novels by Iain Banks. But I guess it goes in line with naming the Spacex drone ships after space ships in the same series =)

Important topic but not much details or examples in the linked material. Any tips on other sources of content on the topic of building mindshare? Working in the Saas B2B space but any examples are interesting.

Always fun with people that run with exotic ideas =)

I might be missing some aspects but would it not be much easier to locate the datacenter on land but close to the ocean (or other large body of water), with similar principles as used for cooling nuclear reactors? Then you would get the benefits but would not have the same strict requirements on reliability of the components.

If you locate it on land you would also have the benefit of using the excess heat for house heating (if located in cold climate and the temperature difference to outside is big enough). This is done in a number of cases in Sweden with excess heat from large industrial plants [1].

Interesting, first of all fully agree with you regarding the business side. Always need to have the customer, their problems, and the revenue model in mind. E.g. for the health care example I think there is a big upside from the insurer side to able to proactively identify illnesses and treat them early (typically cheaper than emergency care, but not always), not to talk about minimizing the human suffering.

But back to the actual question, rules of thumb to estimate feasibility of machine learning application without having access to a actual data set for the specific problem. Make sense to break it down in different problem domains as you mention, NLP, words, image classification, etc.

The 10,000 examples is for bag of words is something I will keep in mind going forward, thanks! When it comes to image classification I guess a fairly good benchmarks can be achieved by looking at available image datasets and public models built on top them (e.g. ImageNet and later versions) and then extrapolate on the precision and number of images needed to achieve it (assuming similar image datasets).

Anyone aware of other relevant rules of thumb for other problem domains?

Very interesting read that nuance the challenges with Facebook's approach to news, at least for a naive European like me.

I agree with the overall article, but it mention that no self organising communities succeed in policing itself, I guess Wikipedia is good counter-point.

What resources would you recommend to get started for someone new to Docker? Given that it changes quickly it would be great to have recommendations from someone working with it.

Thanks for your comment!

We understand the commitment a user makes when switching planning/collaboration app. We are in this for the long run and already have a user base from the closed beta that provide steady revenue.

No problems to have a sustainable business at 10 euro per user and month with our cloud offering (also accounting for customer acquisition costs in line with industry standard). The on premises hosting (offered to enterprises) requires more support and therefore we have a higher price point for that offering.

Further on it would be natural to create additional revenue streams for us with supplementing solutions and modules. E.g. analytics across multiple teams.

Thx for checking out Qlutter! Wanted to save some bandwidth for our visitors on the landing page, link below to high resolution screen shots.

Good point regarding demo-video and sandbox test environment, adding it to the development roadmap.

Hi, one of the creators behind Qlutter here.

We have built Qlutter over the last year, the goal is to create a collaboration/planning tool that does what is needed for the team without being too bloated.

We've placed a lot of focus on supporting the kind of collaboration that will actually make a team better, especially morning meetings. We just launched and would appreciate any feedback!

Thanks! Knew I had read it somewhere but could not find it when searching.

Thanks, looks like good free alternatives to start with! Any experience regarding if macOS or Windows provide the better support? He is currently on Win computer

As previous commenters has mentioned focus on content.

If you will run the blog in parallell with e.g. a product/service and need a consistent look and feel I would look at the _s stater theme [0]. You get most of the "nuts and bolts" and you can quickly style it to match your overall design.

Personally I pick a couple and then complement with HN, feels like a good trade of between time invested and coverage I get.

Also native Swede so might be a bit biased.

If you enjoy the outdoors Stockholm has a lot of accessible nature just around the corner with large parks in central city as well as accessible and clean water ways as large parts of the city is located on islands. Within weekend trip range you have alpine skiing and wilderness in the northern parts of the country.

When it comes to job hunting there are a number of larger incumbents such as Ericsson that currently is struggling a bit. But there is also a number of larger "start-ups" such as Spotify, Klarna, King, iZettle, etc. These companies are very used to relocate new employees and have a structured process for everything from housing, to tax admin, even initial social activities.

Main postal service in Sweden (government owned) have run a similar service for multiple years (could not find exact number but would guess 5+ years)[0]. Lower cost at 2.10 USD (18 SEK). They also have apps for the service [1].

Many great answers already, but will add my two cents as well. All the tips regarding poker planning, breaking down work in manageable chunks, identifying the critical path to finish the sprint and so on are highly relevant but I also think there is a broader question about how work is planned and the team is managed.

The situation you describe with an ambitious product roadmap and very limited time available (and other resources lacking) is very common in early stage start-ups with very visionary founders that have limited managerial experience (I have been there myself).

In my book the team leader/manger role is to make sure the team performing at its best and can be productive, the personal productivity of the team leader is irrelevant. A common mistake is the underestimate the effects of investing time in creating an productive environment for the team.

If would be in your situation I would make a prioritised plan with time estimates (using the techniques mentioned in other posts) and then sit down with the team leader/manger/founder and refine it and agree on deadlines. This would remove pressure as the timeline is jointly agreed, then it would just be important to be very clear if any deviations come up.

If the team leader/manger/founder is someone can have an open discussion with just share your thoughts as in the post. In my team we aim for brutally transparent culture when it comes to morale and stress levels, it allows us a team to be much more productive in the long run (and we have more fun). Remember that start-ups should be a marathon and not a sprint despite working in "sprints". I hope it helps!

Interesting read! Seems like the regulatory landscape is shifting quickly (as mentioned in the article as well) and aries depending country.
