Why Join Us
At Arcus, we're investing in our data platform and building the foundations that enable smarter decisions, better insights, and continued business growth. We're looking for a talented Data Engineer to join our Software Development team and help shape the future of our cloud-based data environment.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys building scalable data solutions, working with modern AWS technologies, and solving complex data challenges. You'll play a key role in developing reliable data pipelines and lakehouse platforms that support analytics, reporting, and decision-making across the business.
Although this role allows for primarily remote working, there is a requirement to attend the Redditch office at least once a month.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Data Engineer, you'll design, develop, and maintain cloud-native data solutions that ensure data is accurate, accessible, and trusted.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and developing scalable data pipelines using Python and PySpark
- Building and optimising data workflows using AWS Glue, Athena, Redshift, and related AWS services
- Supporting modern lakehouse architectures, including Apache Iceberg
- Working with relational and NoSQL databases to ensure data is reliable and fit for purpose
- Collaborating with analysts, engineers, product owners, and stakeholders within an Agile environment
- Troubleshooting data issues, improving pipeline performance, and supporting production systems
- Maintaining technical documentation and contributing to engineering best practice
