What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Staff Data Engineer to join Attest and help evolve our data platform as we scale
- In this role, you’ll contribute to the long-term direction of Data Engineering, shaping how we ingest, model, serve and govern data across the business and product

- You’ll also collaborate across Engineering and the wider business to streamline how data questions are answered, including clearer self-serve pathways to trusted data with the right governance in place
- Our current data platform is AWS-first (with some GCP) and built around Python, Dagster, dbt, and a cloud data warehouse (currently Redshift). It runs on Kubernetes, with infrastructure defined in Terraform, supported by tooling for ingestion, data quality, observability, and BI/serving
- Set the direction of Data Engineering, helping build foundations that scale with the company and product
- Deliver across the data lifecycle: ingestion, transformation and modelling, serving, and ensuring data is accessible and usable
- Build and improve trusted, self-serve data capabilities for internal teams and product use cases, with clear ownership and governance
- Partner with Data Science and Platform, and collaborate across Engineering and the wider business to deliver secure, well-operated data systems
- Reduce operational overhead and improve maintainability and reliability by strengthening standards, simplifying patterns and reducing operational overhead
- Make thoughtful architecture and tooling decisions that balance speed, reliability, cost, data quality and access controls
- Serve as a go-to partner for Data Engineering queries, supporting teams across the business in navigating data-related questions and decisions
- Build strong working relationships across functions, ensuring data initiatives are aligned with business priorities and clearly understood
- Meaningful influence over the future of our data platform
- High-impact work that directly supports product development and business decision-making
- The opportunity to work at the intersection of Data Engineering and applied AI
- A collaborative, cross-functional environment with close partnership across Data Science, Platform and Engineering
- A lightweight, low-bureaucracy delivery model (sprints/kanban blend) focused on outcomes, not micromanagement
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Businesses are constantly seeking new ways to understand trends, grow in new markets, and explore innovations. However 99% of the questions businesses would love to explore go unanswered.
The steps required to launch a survey have typically been cumbersome. Attest have built a platform that is self-serve, and allows companies to ask targeted questions from a wide range of audiences.
The traditional research market is worth $76 billion, and yet it only serves a fraction of those who would benefit from fast and reliable consumer insights.
Attest is currently focused on larger customers such as Heineken, Boots, Samsung. They are also seeing demand from smaller players such as Monzo and Nutmeg, showing the size of the opportunity.
