As the company's first data hire, you’ll be tasked with designing, building and owning their data stack.

• Experience designing, building and maintaining end to end data stacks (data pipelines, data infrastructure, data warehousing etc.)
• Experience working in a fast-paced, high-performance environment of unstructured nature (ideally an early stage start-up/scale-up) - we're looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity and likes to work things out by themselves rather than having a strictly predefined scope
• Cloud infrastructure experience - AWS is highly desirable, but GCP and Azure backgrounds are also ok
• Commercial mindset / understanding of wider business strategy
• Experience working as the 1st/only Data hire in a business
• Familiarity with AI / ML
• Experience with data orchestration and data warehousing
