Job Description

Data Engineering at abcam

As we continue to evolve our data strategy, we have a new opportunity for a Data Engineer to join our Data Engineering team in our Cambridge Head Office. It requires a team player who can work with other engineers in the company, analysts and end users to create solutions which integrate with our products. We are looking for a proactive person who likes to own solutions and use technology to make an impact on business. We have hybrid working and you will be able to work 3 days in the office and 2 days from home.

In this role you will:

• Inspire best practice for data products and services within your teams.
• Work with colleagues to identify, plan, develop and deliver data services related to the crucial project in Abcam.
• Work with other Digital team members to identify, plan, develop and deliver data services which support various workstreams.
• Ensure that data is managed and analysed in a secure, efficient and well-governed manner
• Implement and optimise data pipelines, data modelling, and data availability to speed up time-to-production.

Along with experience in data modelling (conceptual, logical, physical) you will have in-depth SQL experience and you will be able to think creatively about how to solve issues.

As we move towards a more cloud based environment, you will have dealt with AWS infrastructure. Your track record of project delivery will be enhanced by your experience of delivering digital transformation initiatives and ability to influence and adapt to change.
