Data Engineer
£30,000–£40,000
Belfast or Lisburn | On-site
Shape the data function of one of Northern Ireland's leading lettings businesses — from day one.
ViVA Tech Talent has partnered with one of Northern Ireland's leading property management and lettings businesses, managing lettings across NI, with an office in Scotland and ambitious plans to double in size. They've built their reputation by combining technology, process, and genuinely good customer service for landlords and tenants — and now you'll take that further.
This is a rare kind of role: you won't be inheriting someone else's systems or slotting into a large data team. You'll define what data engineering looks like — building the automation, reporting, and AI-assisted processes that help a 35-person business scale to twice its size.
What you'll be doing
- Designing and building reporting that gives the CEO and leadership team real visibility of the business
- Automating manual workflows across the organisation using Google Apps Script
- Building and maintaining the company's data backbone in Google Workspace (Sheets first, but you'll shape what comes next)
- Leading AI adoption across the business — using tools like Claude to improve processes and decision-making, and showing colleagues how to do the same
- Working directly with the CEO to identify which processes and data practices the business needs — he's the first to say he's not technical, so you'll be the person who translates business problems into data solutions
- Collaborating with the company's experienced data contractor, who will support you as you build
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- Strong Google Sheets skills — confident formula writing and well-designed reporting
- Scripting experience, ideally Google Apps Script (Python is a nice-to-have)
- Hands-on use of AI tools such as Claude, and enthusiasm for finding practical business applications
- The ability to work autonomously, define your own priorities, and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders
- A pragmatic, business-first mindset — you care about what the data does for the company

Why this role
- Genuine ownership — first data hire, with serious autonomy to shape the function
- Direct impact — you'll work alongside the CEO, and your work will visibly change how the business runs
- Growth story — join at 2,500 lettings with a plan to double; the data function will grow with the business
- Support without micromanagement — an experienced data contractor to lean on, and a leadership team that wants to be told what good looks like
- Flexibility — based in either Belfast or Lisburn
Salary: £30,000–£40,000 depending on experience.
