Overview
Role: Data Engineer
Location: London office / Hybrid (2 days per week in the office)
Reporting to: Head of Data Engineering
This is a hands-on engineering role, where you will implement and maintain the technical foundations on a modern GCP based data platform: from writing robust Python and SQL, to deploying infrastructure with Terraform, and ensuring our pipelines are reliable, secure, and efficient.
You take pride in delivering data engineering to the highest standards: building and maintaining batch and streaming data pipelines, managing ingestion and egress processes, and supporting the analytics data layer that powers reporting and insights across the business.
Join an inclusive, tight knit, high calibre engineering culture. Deepen your technical experience with a modern GCP stack, and apply your data engineering expertise to a platform used by millions every day.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Build and manage data pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve data across the business
* Contribute to the design and implementation of cloud-based infrastructure using Terraform
* Work on complex data challenges, balancing short-term delivery with long-term platform evolution
* Collaborate with data product owners and stakeholders to collect and refine data requirements
* Optimise data storage, infrastructure performance, and cost within our data platform
* Support the analytics data layer by enabling clean, reliable data for downstream use in Looker and BigQuery
* Collaborate with analytics engineers, analysts, and data scientists to support their data use cases
* Contribute to the evolution of our self-serve data platform and the implementation of our data strategy
* Participate in agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, refinement, and retrospectives
* Promote and practice excellent data and cloud engineering best practices, including testing, documentation, and observability
What We’re Looking For
* 3–5 years of proven experience in data engineering, building production-grade data pipelines and infrastructure within a large-scale, cloud-based data platform
* Experience in a complex organisation with a mature or evolving data platform (e.g. BigQuery, Looker)
* Strong Python coding skills and ability to write complex SQL queries
* Experience using Terraform to manage infrastructure as code in a large-scale platform
* Hands-on experience with GCP (BigQuery, GCS, Dataflow, Cloud Composer) or AWS (Redshift, S3, AWS Glue)
* Experience with dbt and understanding of data modelling principles and best practices
* Deep understanding of data storage, modelling, and orchestration concepts
* Experience setting up and managing data pipelines end-to-end
* Collaborative and curious mindset, enjoys working in cross-functional teams
* Optimistic, curious and enthusiastic about technology; active in keeping up with trends and contributing to tech events
* Proactive, communicative, and comfortable contributing to technical discussions and design decisions
* Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD practices
* Awareness of data quality, privacy, and security best practices
* Knowledge of GDPR and data security best practices, plus frameworks for testing, monitoring, and alerting in relation to data pipelines
