Overview

We're seeking an experienced Senior Data Engineer who combines deep pipeline and data architecture expertise with a high-ownership mindset and a genuine drive to build data infrastructure that makes the whole organisation smarter.

In Short

  • Design, implement, and maintain robust, scalable data pipelines to support AI, analytics, and operational reporting.
  • Own and evolve the data warehouse architecture, ensuring it meets performance, flexibility, and governance needs.
  • Work closely with AI Engineers and BI Engineers to enable advanced modelling, data exploration, and dashboard reliability.
  • Ensure data integrity, availability, lineage, and observability across complex pipelines.
  • Define and enforce best practices in data modelling, pipeline orchestration, and data infrastructure reliability.
  • Champion the use of Infrastructure as Code and automation in managing data services.
  • Proactively address scaling bottlenecks, performance issues, and architectural challenges.
  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate data engineering work — and act as the quality gate on AI-generated pipeline code.
  • Mentor junior Data Engineers and contribute to team knowledge sharing.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 6 years in Data Engineering or Software Engineering, with at least 2 years in a senior role.
  • Deep experience with ETL/ELT frameworks and data pipeline orchestration (e.g. Airflow, dbt).
  • Strong Python and advanced SQL skills.
  • Hands-on experience with modern data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and data lake architectures.
  • Strong understanding of data modelling, data partitioning, schema design, and performance tuning.
  • Solid knowledge of cloud platforms (preferably AWS) and infrastructure automation tools (e.g. Terraform).
  • Experience with monitoring and observability of data pipelines.
  • Demonstrated, hands-on experience using AI tools to accelerate data engineering in a production context.
  • Ability to communicate effectively in a remote environment — clear written communication, reliable async collaboration.

Benefits

  • A competitive salary.
  • An asynchronous working environment.
  • A "Remote-First" company environment (or Hybrid) - based on the nature of the job.
  • The ability to work from abroad for a short period of time.
  • Growth opportunities within the company.
  • We provide all new joiners with the necessary hardware to ensure you have the tools you need to succeed from day one.
