Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a senior data engineer with significant experience in building and maintaining data platforms based around dbt, tailored for internal and external use
- The ideal candidate has a proven track record of designing robust data architectures, including data warehousing, data lake implementations, and both real-time and batch processing systems
- As a technical leader, you are adept at mentoring and guiding engineering teams, fostering the adoption of best practices while promoting continuous improvement
- You have a deep understanding of data architecture, schema design, and the challenges involved in building data-intensive applications that are scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant
- You are experienced in driving modernisation initiatives, including the migration of legacy systems to modern platforms, and can balance the introduction of new technologies with the need to manage risk effectively
- You are comfortable operating in production: diagnosing issues, reasoning about how a single upstream failure can cascade through downstream systems and customer-facing outputs, and making sound judgment calls about remediation under time and customer pressure
- You understand the tradeoffs involved in designing data systems for scale and reliability, including how to keep large, multi-tenant, and distributed data systems consistent, isolated, and trustworthy
- Data and software engineering experience implementing and maintaining backend systems to build reliable data infrastructures covering some of the following concepts:
- Data transformations using dbt
- Data storage technologies (SQL / NoSQL)
- Schema design and multi-tenant data isolation
- Back-end engineering (NodeJS / Python / Java / C#)
- Data Pipelines
- Experience with streaming and CDCs
- Data Modelling (SQL)
- Data validation and quality assurance practices
- Cloud-native, containerised, or automated batch processing systems
- Monitoring & Alerting
- Incident response and RCA for data systems
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform)
- Containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Communication. Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to effectively advocate technical solutions to Product and Engineering Teams as well as business audiences
