The role

Millions of people visit the Rightmove website every month, to view more property listings than any other portal in the UK. We have a huge amount of data about how people use the site, and what this means to our customers. Your role is to design, deliver and evolve the data pipelines and infrastructure to enable data scientists and analysts from across Rightmove to get the insights they need to drive our business strategy, and to use that data to power our user and customer experiences directly.

Rightmove has a significant existing data infrastructure, across Google Cloud, on-premises and in SaaS environments. Data has powered the user and customer experience throughout our history, but we know we can do more with our data. We are looking for people who can use their experience to help us take a big step forward in our data vision.

This role is a key part of a data team and will often be the lead in projects, particularly for more complex work. We recognise that to deliver the best products and features for our consumers, customers, and colleagues we need to work effectively as a healthy, high performing team.

• You will build, refine, and evolve other components of the data platform, such as data lakes and data warehouses
• You will help data analysts and analytics engineers set up materialised views, optimise large queries, and automate manual tasks to create an automated process to get data into reports and dashboards.
• You will optimise data storage, query performance and cost in BigQuery and other on-demand services
• You will practice and promote excellent data and software engineering best practices
• You will coach other engineers to support their development and encourage high quality work

We are looking for someone who:

• Combines an analytical and business-oriented mindset to create intelligent data solutions that generate powerful insights, as well as great user and customer experiences
• Has experience working in (or closely with) a data analytics or science team
• Demonstrates a deep understanding of databases, analytical data warehouses and data pipeline tools
• Extensive exposure to Google Cloud Platform or similar modern cloud platforms
• Is a competent Python developer who always strives to adopt engineering best practices
• Has built, designed, and maintained large datasets in the cloud and capable of identifying relationships in data
• Knows what good data infrastructure looks like; can work with architects to set a vision for the data platform
• Has deployed data applications and solutions using CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools
• Is comfortable working in a dynamic environment with a degree of ambiguity
• Can coach engineers, analysts and data scientists so they can learn from your experience
• Have a STEM subject degree
