Job description

Imagine how satisfying it would feel to work at a start-up that is redefining how Private Equity firms access and use data-driven insights.

There's no need to imagine it. This is what you'll be getting yourself into.

You will not just be maintaining data pipelines. You will be building the data foundation of a platform that feels like a Bloomberg built specifically for Private Equity, used by some of the most sophisticated investment firms in the world.

You will have the freedom to design and scale data systems that power institutional grade analytics, with real ownership over how data is modelled, stored, and served across the product.

This is a place where your ideas truly matter. You will be encouraged to challenge assumptions, experiment with new approaches, and help shape the technical direction of a fast growing company that values speed, quality, and impact.

You will work closely with engineers, product teams, and stakeholders who care deeply about turning complex datasets into clear and actionable insights for Private Equity professionals making high stakes decisions.

It's an environment where building things properly still matters. The team is naturally data led, ambitious in scope, and focused on creating a product that genuinely changes how investment decisions are made.

If you're an experienced Data Engineer with strong exposure to modern data architectures, hands on experience with ClickHouse, and you love building scalable and high performance data systems, this could be a great next step in your career.

Hybrid or remote working is available.
