Role
Who you are
- A Seasoned Engineer: You have extensive experience building production-grade data systems and thrive in a senior or lead capacity
- Python Expert: You are highly proficient in Python to build robust data processes and applications
- Cloud & Lakehouse Native: You have an understanding of GCP/AWS and are an expert in navigating the Databricks (or similar) ecosystems
- Streaming Specialist: You’ve "been there and done that" with technology like Kafka or Flink, successfully implementing near-real-time or real-time data solutions
- DataOps Advocate: You believe in CI/CD, containerisation (Docker/K8s), and automated testing; you don't consider a task "done" until it's observable and repeatable
- Architectural Thinker: You have an in-depth knowledge of database internals, data warehousing, and modern Data Lake design
- Detail-Oriented & Communicative: You have a sharp eye for the "small things" that break pipelines and the ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical partners
- Lifelong Learner: You are naturally curious and stay ahead of the curve by experimenting with and adopting the latest industry frameworks
- Not every one of the above is essential, but hopefully it gives an idea of what we find useful day to day
What the job involves
- As a Senior Data Engineer at Genio, you’ll play a key part in owning the maintenance and development of Genio’s data architecture and platforms.
- You’ll help build a scalable data platform to support both analytical and product development
- This is an exciting time to join the data team as we look to champion a culture of data driven innovation and continuous improvement
- You’ll be joining the Technology function, made up of Engineering, Product, Product Marketing, UX and Data – all working closely together in cross-functional squads to build the best product for our users
- You’ll work closely with Data Engineers, fellow Analysts, and teams across the business like Customer Experience, Learning, and Engineering.
- You’ll report into our Head of Data and be part of the Data team’s mission to empower everyone at Genio to use data with confidence and clarity
- Design + Develop Architecture: Architect and build scalable, high-performance data structures within our GCP and Databricks Lakehouse
- Lead Data-Latency Strategy: Implement and manage low-latency solutions to power near-real time analytical and product features
- Own ELT Ingestion: Own the end-to-end ingestion process using Airbyte + Python, transforming raw data into actionable datasets
- Operationalise Data (Reverse ETL): Close the loop by syncing processed data back into SaaS tools to drive business workflows and automation
- Drive Technical Innovation: Ensure our data stack remains at the leading edge by evaluating and implementing emerging tools and frameworks as they become available
- Collaborate on Product Integration: Partner with product and engineering teams to embed data solutions directly into our core offerings
Application process
- We’ll review your application and provide a response from Monday 5th January onwards. Even if it’s not the news you’d hoped for, we appreciate it’s good to know either way
- If we invite you to meet with us for interview, here’s an overview of what the process will look like:
- Screening interview with someone in our Recruitment team (30 minutes)
- Technical test; you will have 1 week to complete the test when it suits you best. The test isn’t timed but we suggest no longer than 3 hours
- Interview with the Head of Data and one other data team member. This consists of competency based questions and a task review
- Final stage interview which includes a 1 hour culture and values interview. This will be with our Head of Data and another Genio team member
- Ahead of your interviews you will receive a confirmation email outlining who you’ll be meeting and when, anything you’ll need to prepare in advance and any resources we think you might find helpful
