About British Cycling
British Cycling exists to bring the joy of cycling to everyone.
We have embarked on an exciting new journey, with a modernised commercial and events offering grounded in social impact and storytelling, harnessing the spotlight and inspiration of our athlete’s performance on the world stage, and our growing portfolio of major events.
We are working towards our three key priorities outlined in our strategy; to support and grow the sport to make cycling more inclusive and accessible, to lead on the world stage by winning and winning well, and to drive social impact by tackling inequalities through providing opportunities.
About The Role
As a GCP Data Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, building, and operating end-to-end data platforms on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and BigQuery. You will work closely with internal stakeholders, data analysts, and software engineers to ensure data is reliable, well-structured, and readily available for both real-time and batch use cases. This role is vital for insight delivery and reporting across British Cycling, and spans the full data lifecycle, including ingestion, storage, transformation, consumption and scaling GCP-based data infrastructure.
