Pyspark | Databricks | SQL

Shape the future of travel with data.
Join a tech-led company that’s reimagining how millions experience travel. This is your chance to work on high-impact data projects that drive smarter decisions across product, operations, and commercial teams — all while growing your skills in a modern, cloud-first environment.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• You’ll build scalable, production-grade data pipelines using PySpark, SQL, and Databricks
• Your work will directly power analytics, BI, and data science across the business
• You’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking data team that values experimentation and clean engineering
• You’ll get space to grow, learn new tools, and make a real impact

What You’ll Bring:

• 2–5 years’ experience in data engineering or similar
• Strong PySpark and advanced SQL skills
• Hands-on experience with Databricks and building ETL/ELT pipelines
• Familiarity with CI/CD and version control

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with Databricks Asset Bundles (DAB)
• Exposure to GCP, Azure, BigQuery, or Harness

What’s In It For You:

• 25 days holiday (+ option to buy 10 more)
• 4 flexible bank holidays
• 10% pension + annual bonus
• On-site gym & wellbeing events
• Up to 50% off travel perks (lounges, parking, etc.)
• Paid volunteering days, learning grants & mentoring
• Enhanced parental leave & inclusive culture
