Senior Data Platform Engineer – Hybrid (London)
I'm partnering with a fast-growing clean energy technology company that is accelerating the transition to a smarter, more sustainable energy future.
Operating at the intersection of energy, software, and data, they have built a sophisticated platform that processes high-volume operational and market data in real time, enabling intelligent decision-making at scale.
Following significant growth and expansion into multiple international markets, they are continuously investing in their engineering and data capabilities.
This is not a traditional Data Engineering role.
You’ll be building and scaling the operational data platform that powers a core revenue-generating function of the business.
The systems you build will support:
- forecasting
- optimisation
- reconciliation
- real-time operational decision-making
Reliability, latency, and scalability matter because the platform sits directly in the path of commercial outcomes.
If you enjoy building production-grade systems where data drives action rather than reporting, this could be an excellent opportunity.
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 You’ll Be Doing
- Building and scaling AWS-based operational data platforms
- Designing and implementing real-time streaming pipelines for high-volume operational and market data
- Developing datasets and data services that power critical business workflows
- Building robust data lake and warehouse architectures for both batch and real-time use cases
- Creating highly observable, reliable, and testable systems with strong engineering standards
- Automating infrastructure deployment through Infrastructure as Code
- Collaborating closely with engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable solutions
- Contributing to the evolution of a modern, data-first platform operating at significant scale
What They’re Looking For
- Strong experience in building production-grade data platforms on AWS
- Experience with streaming or event-driven architectures
- Strong Python and/or TypeScript engineering skills
- Preference for Infrastructure as Code, ideally AWS CDK
- Solid understanding of data platform design, scalability, and performance optimisation
- Experience with reliable systems, including CI/CD, testing, and observability practices
- Knowledge of modern data storage technologies and large-scale data processing
- Strong problem-solving skills and an engineering-first mindset

Why This Role Stands Out
Most Data Engineering roles focus on moving data from A to B.
This role is different.
You’ll be building the operational platform that underpins critical commercial workflows. The challenges are genuinely engineering-focused:
- High-volume event processing
- Real-time decision support
- Low-latency data systems
- Platform reliability and observability
- Revenue-critical infrastructure
You’ll join a business with a genuine tech-for-good mission, solving complex problems through data while helping shape the future of clean energy.
