  • Maintain and improve datasets and models to meet business requirements.
  • Own and continuously enhance the internal data engineering stack, focusing on best practices and scalability.

What We're Looking For:

  • 3-5 years of experience as a Data Engineer, with hands-on experience in cloud platforms (experience with Google Cloud is a plus).
  • Strong knowledge of data warehousing (e.g., Google BigQuery), data processing (Apache Spark, Beam), and pipeline orchestration (Airflow, Cloud Composer).
  • Proficiency with SQL and No-SQL databases (e.g., Cloud Datastore, MongoDB), and storage systems (e.g., Google Cloud Storage, S3).
  • Strong experience with Python or Java 8+, and object-oriented programming.
  • Familiarity with development tools such as GitHub, Jira, Docker, and Kubernetes.

What's on Offer:

  • Hybrid working options to support a balanced work-life environment.
  • A comprehensive benefits package, including health and wellness programmes, an electric car scheme, and childcare support.
  • Opportunities to engage in company working groups focused on initiatives like CSR, DE&I, and mental health support.
  • Enhanced family leave policies and career development opportunities.
