This is the job

We are looking for someone who is passionate about turning data into practical solutions. While this role requires strong technical skills in Python and SQL, it is not just about engineering pipelines it’s about solving real problems with data, using the right tools and approaches for the job.

You will help design processes that make data more usable, reliable, and insightful, ensuring that analysts, product teams, and stakeholders can make better decisions. You will also contribute to machine learning initiatives and help shape how data is used across the organisation.

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, whether you think of yourself as an analyst, engineer, data practitioner, applied scientist, or technical problem-solver, we would love to hear from you.

What will I be doing?

• Designing, building, and maintaining automated data pipelines using Python and SQL across platforms like Databricks, Google BigQuery, and Airflow.
• Creating reliable ways to bring in data from APIs and external sources, with a focus on scalability and security.
• Designing data models and structures that balance performance, usability, and clarity.
• Collaborating with analysts and BI developers to deliver insight-ready data that powers dashboards, analytics, and business decisions.
• Proactively monitoring data quality, resolving issues, and contributing to governance through documentation, testing, and continuous improvement.
• Partnering with stakeholders to refine requirements and find practical solutions, not just technical ones.

What do I need?

• Strong skills in Python and advanced SQL for working with complex datasets.
• Experience with cloud-based data platforms (e.g., BigQuery, Databricks, Airflow) and a willingness to learn new tools.
• Familiarity with ingesting data via APIs and transforming large datasets efficiently and securely.
• Understanding of data modelling and performance optimisation, with an eye for usability.
• Clear communication skills, you can explain data concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A problem-solving mindset: you care more about delivering value and insights with openness to learn and grow in a supportive team environment, than sticking to one rigid way of working.
