Data Engineer & Tracking Lead (6 month FTC)
Job Description
Job Title: Data Engineer & Tracking Lead (6-Month Contract) Location: Edinburgh (Hybrid)
Summary Since launching the world’s first portable wood-pellet pizza oven in 2012, Ooni has grown into an award-winning, multinational company with a product range loved by pizza makers all over the globe. Our mission has always been to design innovative products that spark joy in our customers, and whilst we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far - we’re only just getting started. Ooni is gearing up for our busiest time of year, and we need a heavy-hitting Data Engineer and Tracking Lead to join us for a 6-month contract to ensure our data foundation is solid.
You will be the internal technical lead, laying the foundations for the end-to-end health of our data, from the moment a user clicks on our website to the final output in our BI tooling - ensuring we are capturing and storing data optimally and compliantly.
This is a "Founding Engineer" style role - and while you will be the only data engineer internally, you won't be working in a vacuum - you will collaborate daily with our tight-knit internal data and analytics team, consisting of two Data Analysts, an FP&A Manager, and a Product Manager, as well as being the technical lead for our long standing external agency of 4 data engineers. Alongside this data and analytics group, you will have a tight network of data-savvy stakeholders which you will collaborate with on each project. This is a hybrid 6 month fixed-term contract, with 2 days per week in our office in Edinburgh.
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.
