Senior Data Engineer

Job Title:Senior Data Engineer

Salary:up to £80k depending on experience

Start date:ASAP

Location:Remote/Bristol/London. At the moment we are only able to accept candidates based in the UK.

Who are we?

Tumelo is a venture-backed, impact-led financial technology firm. We believe every investor should be empowered to use their shareholder voice to create change on issues like climate, gender and human rights at companies where their money is invested. Our mission is to build and scale the technology to make that possible.

We're a close-knit, fun and dynamic team. We champion autonomy and flexibility. We get stuck in and act strategically. We love food, rounders, board games... and having fun together, from canvas painting to our annual company offsite.

We aim to enable every institutional and retail investor to be an active owner of the companies their money is invested, breaking up the unbalanced influence of fund managers and returning power to true shareholders. Big change takes time but we are patient and ambitious in equal measure; influencing the system, building a movement, empowering the world.

The Role

This is an exceptional opportunity to get stuck in at a fast-paced, tech-focused, impact-driven start-up. As an Engineer, you will be immersed in start-up life, collaborating closely with the product, technical and operational teams - managing the data that glues these teams and Tumelo's products together.

As a Senior Data Engineer at Tumelo, you will be responsible for:

  1. Designing, implementing and maintaining automated data pipelines using Python and AWS
  2. Implementing processes to test data validity, latency and coverage
  3. Building and maintaining software infrastructure for use across the company
  4. Monitoring, triaging and fixing issues alongside fellow Engineers
  5. Taking new ideas from inception through to implementation across our tech stack
  6. Mentoring other Engineers to help them achieve their full potential
  7. Contributing to the development of internal gRPC APIs & Go services
  8. Developing internal frontends written in React

Desirable experience:

These are desirable rather than essential criteria. We welcome applications from people who may not have all the listed criteria but who are willing to learn by doing.

  1. You have experience in the extraction, transformation and loading of data from a variety of sources such as SFTP, Email and APIs
  2. You have excellent proficiency in the use of Python or Go
  3. You have experience designing serverless architectures
  4. You have experience with IaC tooling (we use Terraform)
  5. You have experience designing APIs and working in a microservices environment
  6. You love automated testing and ensuring that test suites are comprehensive
  7. You definitely don't need finance experience but you must be willing to learn
  8. You are passionate about social or environmental issues

We are trying to build a team that can conquer every challenge, speak every language, and understand every user. We have an ambitious mission to change the world so we hope to lead by example with a diverse and inclusive team that reflects the world we want to see. For the time being, you must have the right to work in the UK.

What we offer:

  1. Competitive salary:up to £80k, dependent on experience.
  2. Private health insurance- via Equipsme, including 24/7 private GP access, dental, optical, and mental health support.
  3. Generous company share scheme:We are all owners of Tumelo and beneficiaries of our collective success.
  4. Great Maternity & Paternity policies:We recognise how important maternity/paternity leave is to the wellbeing of our team. For maternity leave, Tumelo offers the first 26 weeks at 100% pay, followed by Standard Maternity Pay thereafter. For paternity leave, Tumelo offers six weeks at 100% pay.
  5. Work From Home budget:To get you everything you need to be able to work comfortably from home.
  6. 5% employer pension contribution
  7. £50 per month wellness budget:Pick the benefit that works for you, whether that’s a monthly gym membership, a regular massage, career coaching or a regular delivery of healthy food. There are over 1000 things to choose from!
  8. 33 days holiday:These include bank holidays, but you can take bank holidays off at your discretion, some of the team prefer to work those days and save the holiday for another time, and that’s fine by us!
  9. Flexible hours:We commit to being available to each other on slack/email between 10am and 3pm Monday – Friday (save for lunch), but outside of these hours you can work whenever you feel most productive.
  10. Tumfests:The team commit to gathering together for a full day at least once per month in Bristol or an off-site location. Travel costs are covered by the business.
  11. Hybrid working:We encourage staff to come into the office a few times a month to encourage collaboration but we’re flexible and pragmatic about this.

Working here, you'll grow more than you would anywhere else. You will join a team who will appreciate you every day and your contributions will genuinely change our business' future.

We operate a three-stage interview process:

  1. Stage one: Covering your thoughts on working culture, work history and some technical.
  2. Stage two: Technical task (completed in your own time) followed by a technical interview, initially focusing on the take home task.
