This role sits within a global tech business operating at serious scale, where data underpins products used by millions of people every day. You'll join a high-performing engineering group responsible for building and evolving large, distributed data platforms that power analytics, insights, and customer-facing capabilities.
If you enjoy designing robust data systems, working with modern tooling, and influencing how data engineering is done at scale, this is a role with real ownership and impact.
Why join?
* Work on large-scale, distributed data platforms
* Strong engineering culture with a focus on quality and best practice
* Opportunity to influence architecture and technical direction
* Collaborative, inclusive teams with experienced engineers
* Clear investment in learning, growth, and long-term careers
What you'll be doing:
* Designing, building, and supporting scalable data pipelines and platforms
* Improving data reliability, performance, and observability
* Working closely with product, analytics, and engineering teams to understand data needs
* Applying solid software engineering practices across data systems
* Contributing to technical decisions, standards, and continuous improvement
* Troubleshooting complex data issues in production environments
What you'll bring:
* Strong experience building distributed data systems in cloud environments
* Hands-on experience with data orchestration tools (e.g. Airflow)
* Solid background working with modern data stores and processing tools (SQL, Spark, dbt, Snowflake or similar)
* Experience with event-driven or streaming platforms (e.g. Kafka)
* Good understanding of CI/CD, testing, version control, and containerisation
* Comfortable working in Agile teams and collaborating cross-functionally
Interested?
If you're a senior data engineer looking for scale, ownership, and the chance to shape how data platforms evolve, this is well worth a conversation. Get in touch with Justin Donaldson or apply directly.
