As a Lead Data Engineer, you’ll help our clients deploy and maintain data pipelines in a production-safe manner, using the latest technologies and with a DataOps culture. You’ll work in a fast moving, agile environment, within multi-disciplinary teams, delivering modern data platforms into large organisations.

  • Develop pipelines that bring data to life for decision making, either delivering insight or for more sophisticated data science applications.
  • Experience in being hands on with data, applying the practicalities of quality, flow, and organisation of information, and an understanding of data modelling approaches.
  • Be comfortable working in a fast moving, agile environment, within multi-disciplinary teams, delivering modern data platforms into large organisations.
  • Previous practical experience of using both SQL and task orchestration software (e.g. dbt, Airflow/Prefect/Dagster or equivalent) to develop production-grade pipelines that bring data to life.
  • Strong Snowflake experience is preferred, and Databricks experience would be a bonus.
  • Practical hands-on experience of at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP) and experience of associated technologies (for example with AWS: DynamoDB, Redshift, Kinesis Pipelines, Glue, Lambda, QuickSight, etc).
  • Have experience adopting a Data Product mindset, ensuring datasets are discoverable, addressable, trustworthy, and self-describing for downstream consumers.
  • Ability to bridge the gap between technical engineering and business value, translating stakeholder needs into robust data product specifications.

  • An annual budget for training and upskilling, including allocated days off so you don’t have to study in your own free time.

  • 25 days holiday allowance + flexible.
