The Data Engineer will work closely with the platform provider to manage and maintain an existing connected data ecosystem for SkyShowtime that unleashes the power of our streaming data. We gather data from across all customer/prospect journeys in near real-time, to allow fast feedback loops across territories; combined with our strategic data platform, this data ecosystem is at the core of being able to make intelligent customer and business decisions.
In this role, the Data Engineer will share responsibilities in the development and maintenance of an optimised and highly available set of data pipelines that facilitate deeper analysis and reporting by the business, as well as support ongoing operations related to the Direct-to-Consumer data ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate closely with the platform provider and third-party vendors to manage and maintain the entire data ecosystem.
- Design, build, test, scale and maintain data pipelines from various source systems and streams (internal, third party, cloud based, etc.), aligning with both business and technical needs.
- Ensure data quality through implementation of data quality frameworks.
- Work closely with data scientists/analysts to facilitate easy access to data for analysis. Engage with cross-functional teams across SkyShowtime to understand their data needs and provide tailored solutions.
- Operationalise and monitor data processing systems with a focus on security and compliance.
- Support functional teams within SkyShowtime by establishing new third-party and first-party data connections.
- Ensure data compliance with privacy and legal standards and requirements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
