This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the engineering teams behind streaming products used by tens of millions of customers globally.

Essential skills:
- Strong SQL
- Proven ETL pipeline experience
- Data warehousing experience
- Dimensional / data modelling
- DBT
- Experience with BigQuery (preferred) or Snowflake
- Exposure to AWS and/or GCP
- Strong stakeholder communication skills

Nice to have:
- Python
- DataOps / CI/CD exposure

What you’ll be doing:
- Designing and supporting scalable data models and distributed ETL pipelines
- Working with large-scale streaming and platform datasets
- Building and optimising transformations in BigQuery, SQL and DBT

- Improving DataOps and platform best practices
- Supporting the onboarding of new data feeds and ensuring alignment with governance and architecture standards
- Contributing to automation initiatives, including practical use of AI tools within data workflows

This role is highly scenario and delivery focused. In interviews, the team will want to understand:
- What you’ve built over the last 2 years
- What you personally owned
- How you approached ETL, warehousing and modelling challenges
- Your experience with BigQuery (ideal) / Snowflake / DBT
- How you’ve improved engineering practices or automation
Interview process
- Stage 1: 30-minute conversation with the Head of Data and a Senior Data Engineer
- Stage 2: Technical / scenario-based discussion
If you’re a Senior Data Engineer with strong SQL, ETL, data warehousing, modelling and DBT experience, and you’re looking for a contract where you can genuinely make an impact in a high-scale streaming and data platform environment, I’d be keen to speak.
