Job summary

Alto Software Group is hiring a Data Platform Engineer to scale our data lakehouse, build data infra and reusable templates, and enable analytics and AI across the business. You’ll modernise SQL Server workloads and help turn data into revenue‑generating products, working with product, analytics and engineers in a fast-growing environment.

You’ll join a hybrid London-based team, work with Databricks, AWS, and modern data tooling, and shape engineering practices to deliver high-quality software

Qualifications

• Hands-on data/platform engineering experience building data infrastructure used by engineers and analysts
• Strong Python, AWS and Terraform expertise with an infra-as-code mindset
• Experience with modern lakehouse/warehouse platforms (Databricks preferred; Snowflake/BigQuery acceptable) and data ingestion/transformation tools
• Familiarity with Kafka or similar streaming systems and event-driven data flows
• Solid SQL and data modelling skills; container orchestration (ECS, Kubernetes) knowledge
• Ability to design tools/templates to accelerate product analytics and data delivery across teams

Responsibilities

• Build the infrastructure and business logic behind our new data commercialisation opportunities, partnering with product and commercial teams to turn data into revenue‑generating products
• Design and build the abstractions, blueprints and reusable templates that let service and analytics teams work with data safely and consistently, from ingestion through to storage and access
• Play a key role in modernising our legacy monolithic SQL Server database — extracting data into our lakehouse and other parallel data stores, introducing data retention policies, and helping migrate to modern SQL frameworks and languages
• Write ETL processes and contribute to data modelling for both internal analytics and external‑facing data products, where the platform alone isn't enough
• Take ownership of your work from design to deployment, either independently or as part of a collaborative team
• Help shape our engineering practices and explore new ways of working to deliver value to our internal customers in a fast, predictable way
