This is an exciting opportunity to join us at a time of significant growth, working on large-scale data migration projects and helping to build and extend the data that powers our products and decision-making.

You’ll play a key role in designing, building, testing and operating data solutions, working closely with colleagues across Technology, Product, Delivery and other areas of the business.

What You'll Be Doing

• Working with the Technology team to move and transform data from a range of business sources into our data warehouse.
• Designing, building and maintaining large-scale data solutions and data pipelines using our ELT tools and technology stack.
• Writing and maintaining high-quality Python and SQL, with a strong focus on performance, reliability and maintainability.
• Working with Snowflake, MySQL and MS SQL Server 2019 to develop and optimise data solutions.
• Collaborating closely with Delivery and Product teams to provide progress updates and ensure projects are delivered on time.
• Working alongside Senior Developers to improve our development tools, processes, technology stack, application performance and stability.
• Participating in and supporting code reviews to maintain high development standards.
• Testing data solutions and applying appropriate testing strategies to ensure quality and accuracy.
• Troubleshooting production issues through to resolution and identifying ways to prevent them from happening again.
• Providing out-of-hours support when required, in line with organisational SLAs.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with at least 3 years' commercial experience in Data Engineering who can hit the ground running.

You'll Need To Have

• Strong commercial experience with Python and the ability to write clean, maintainable and effective code.
• Strong SQL skills and an excellent understanding of databases, data structures and data manipulation.
• Commercial experience working with data warehouses, ideally including Snowflake.
• Experience with MySQL and MS SQL Server 2019.
• A good understanding of data engineering principles and data transformation.
• An understanding of testing strategies and writing robust, reliable data solutions.
• Experience working within Agile methodologies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues.

It would be great if you also have

• Experience with ELT tools such as Fivetran, Kleene or dbt.
• Experience using source code management tools, ideally Git.
• Previous experience working within the travel industry.
• Financial or finance-related data experience — this would be particularly valuable as you'll have the opportunity to work on finance-related data and projects.

Why join Travel Chapter?
