Working Pattern
This is a Remote First team who regularly get together for collaboration, planning and company events, typically every six weeks.
Role Overview
This is a new role within this business and has now become a point of investment as they see real value in what can be delivered as a full-time position. This is a role that will give you genuine visibility and impact in the business; an ideal role for an experienced Senior or Lead Data Engineer who wants to work on far more than just data pipelines.
You'll join an ambitious SaaS business that's building the next generation of software by combining AI, automation, and modern engineering practices. Technology sits at the core of everything they do, as long as the customer and product are solving the correct problems, and as the business continues to grow, they're investing heavily in both their products and the internal systems that support them.
The role has been created as they have reached the point where owning both the company's Data Engineering function and AI Operations has become too much for one person. You'll work closely alongside the CTO and Head of Engineering, taking ownership of a data and AI and helping shape how the organization scales over the coming years.
