ABOUT THE ROLE
You will play a crucial role in designing, building and productionising innovative data pipelines, in the cloud, from scratch. You’ll work on a mix of small analytics proof of concepts and larger projects, both of which push the boundaries of what we can do with data; finding and using novel data sources and APIs, and enriching them with leading analytics, data science and AI methods.
Your role will be twofold. You’ll be working directly with our London-based client-base, as well as helping to shape the future of our fast-growing start-up. We’ll let you challenge yourself, from your core of data engineering to support our data science and dashboard visualisation work, to grow your cloud architecture and engineering knowledge, and to understand the business and strategic impact of your great engineering work – to whatever extent suits you.

- Work closely with a great programme team – project lead, data scientists and analysts – and interface with client technology counterparts
- Identify ways to improve data reliability, processing efficiency and quality of our data output
- Deploy pipelines in cloud environments and develop as a cloud technologist, as our world becomes increasingly reliant on cloud technologies
- Produce detailed documentation and champion code quality
- Interrogate rich data sources such as social, search, surveys, reviews, clickstream, sales, connected devices and beyond
- Identify and explore opportunities to acquire new data sources that deliver innovative perspectives to our clients
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in an applicable field such as Computer Science, Statistics, Maths or similar Science or Engineering discipline
- Strong Python and other programming skills (Java and/or Scala desirable)
