What you’ll do
As a Data Engineer, you’ll be responsible for building and optimising data pipelines and architectures that enable data‑driven insights across the organisation. You’ll work primarily within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem, leveraging tools such as BigQuery, DBT (Data Build Tool), Apache Kafka, and SQL. We expect a high degree of automation for tests and deployments. We follow LBG’s agile practices and governance processes.
