You will be responsible for designing and building the core systems to unlock value from our data as we grow. We are looking for a passionate engineer who thrives on solving complex challenges, from high-level architectural design down to implementation.

We value strong experience in at least one of these core areas. * Take ownership of the estimation, planning, and execution of complex data platform projects, including new feature development and major service upgrades. * Improve and scale our existing data platform codebase, data pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), with a focus on enhancing scalability, reliability, performance, and cost-effectiveness. * Collaborate closely with engineering, analytics, and data science teams to understand their needs, gather requirements, and deliver reliable and well-adopted platform capabilities. * Write well-tested, high-quality, and performant code for data processing, platform automation, and infrastructure management. * Lead the design and delivery of complex data engineering projects, partnering effectively with stakeholders to drive these from concept through to successful implementation. * Mentor other engineers on the team, helping to elevate their skills and fostering best practices in data engineering through code reviews and technical guidance. * Uphold and contribute to high standards for code quality, testing, and documentation, and proactively identify and help manage technical debt.
