Data Engineers - Build the data foundations for a well-known, high-profile brand
This is a newly created Data Engineer role within a recognised and exciting organisation that’s investing seriously in data.
You’ll be the first dedicated Data Engineer in the business, playing a pivotal role in shaping how data is ingested, transformed, and used to power insights across the organisation. You’ll work closely with Analysts and Data Scientists in a small, collaborative data team, with real visibility and impact from day one.
If you enjoy building things properly, working with a modern data stack, and want ownership rather than maintenance work — this is a standout opportunity.
What you’ll be doing
* Designing, building, and maintaining cloud-based ETL pipelines on AWS
* Ingesting data from APIs, web sources, and internal systems into Snowflake
* Optimising and automating Python and SQL workflows for performance and reliability
* Ensuring data quality, consistency, and trust across the organisation
* Maintaining clear documentation, Git-based version control, and automated deployment pipelines
* Working closely with Analytics and Data Science to enable insight and decision-making at scale
What we’re looking for
* Experience building and maintaining data pipelines in a cloud environment (AWS preferred)
* Strong Python and SQL skills
* Hands-on experience with Snowflake (or similar modern data warehouses)
* Comfort working with APIs and multiple data sources
* Someone who enjoys autonomy, ownership, and shaping best practice
* Clear communicator who enjoys working in a small, agile data team
Why this role stands out
* First Data Engineer hire – shape the platform, not just inherit it
* Modern tech stack – no legacy baggage
* High-impact role – your work directly enables insight across the business
* Well-known brand with strong momentum and ambition
* £50–60k budget with flexibility for the right person
