What you’ll be doing

As the Senior Data Engineer, you will:

• Design and build end‑to‑end data pipelines from scratch.
• Develop high-quality Python and SQL solutions.
• Own all cloud architecture within AWS (Lambda, Glue, S3, Redshift etc.).
• Create data models, frameworks, and best practices that others will follow.
• Influence long-term strategy as the business scales its data ecosystem.

What they’re looking for

• Strong experience as a Senior Data Engineer or an established Data Engineer ready for the step up.
• Proven delivery of automated, scalable pipelines.
• Someone excited by autonomy, ownership, and the chance to build from zero.

Package
