Looking for variety in your next data engineering role? Join a global media agency and work across a broad mix of clients and projects, with room to develop your skills and progress your career.

You’ll be part of a collaborative, 14-person data engineering team supporting agencies across the network. With a strong team culture and experienced engineers to learn from, this is an opportunity to contribute your ideas and take ownership of meaningful technical work.

The role

You’ll build and maintain the pipelines that turn data from multiple sources into reliable, usable datasets for global clients. Your work will include:

• Building and extending data ingestion pipelines using Python, APIs and tools such as Adverity.
• Developing dbt models and SQL transformations tailored to each client’s requirements.
• Working with cloud infrastructure to deliver reliable, scalable data pipelines.
• Improving data quality through testing, troubleshooting and code reviews.
• Collaborating with analysts and reporting specialists to ensure datasets meet their needs.

This is a hands‑on data engineering role. BI dashboards and data visualisation are handled by a separate team.

About you

You’ll bring strong Python, dbt and SQL skills, alongside experience with a cloud platform. The team uses GCP, but experience with AWS or Azure is equally welcome.

You’ll be comfortable writing, debugging and explaining your own code, including the reasoning behind your approach. AI tools can help enhance your work, but you’ll need the technical understanding to assess their output and take responsibility for what you build.

Experience with API integrations, Git and data modelling will be valuable. Media or advertising data experience would be useful, but isn’t essential.

You’ll have exposure to varied clients, different technical challenges and opportunities for progression within a global agency network. You’ll also join a supportive team that values curiosity, shared learning and well‑written code.
