Our client, one of the UK's fastest-growing and most exciting tech start-ups, is looking for a talented Data Engineer to help shape the future of its data strategy. Named one of LinkedIn's Top 10 UK Start-ups and now operating Nation-wide, this is a unique opportunity to join a high-growth business that's already making a meaningful impact and has lots more to come!

The Role:

As a Data Engineer, you'll design, build and maintain scalable data pipelines and architecture that support analytics feeding directly into customer-facing mobile and web applications, as well as internal tools used to drive strategic decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Build and maintain scalable data pipelines to support both internal dashboards and customer-facing products
2. Design and implement efficient data architecture for optimal storage, retrieval, and processing
3. Develop ETL processes to ingest, transform, and load data from various sources, particularly APIs
4. Collaborate with data scientists and software engineers to align data strategies with app development
5. Work with internal stakeholders to shape and meet business data needs
6. Maintain documentation, monitor pipeline performance, and resolve issues as they arise

About You:

1. Strong problem-solving skills, demonstrated through academic or professional experience
2. In-depth understanding of data architecture, data-modelling, and best practices in data engineering
3. Proficient in Python and SQL; experience with data processing frameworks such as Airflow, TensorFlow, or Spark is advantageous
4. Willingness to gain working knowledge of backend development (e.g., Python with Django) for pipeline integration
5. Familiarity with data versioning, quality management, and CI/CD pipelines
6. Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS or Azure) and data tools such as Terraform or SageMaker is a plus
7. Ideally, some hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines in a production environment

What's on Offer:

1. Competitive salary: £40,000-£65,000, dependent on skills and experience
2. Private medical insurance
3. Equity in a well-funded, high-growth start-up
4. Office gym membership
5. Dog-friendly office located in the heart of Camden
6. A supportive, social, and dynamic team culture

This is an exceptional opportunity for a data engineer who wants to make an impact at scale, grow in a supportive environment, and be part of an ambitious team at the forefront of UK tech innovation.

If you're ready for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
