Senior Data Engineer — AI-Driven Grid Data Pipelines (Remote)

EV Energy; United Kingdom; Remote; GBP 60,000 - 74,000; Full time

Job summary

ev.energy is building the world's largest EV-centric virtual power plant, connecting vehicles, chargers, batteries, solar, and other assets to balance the grid. We’re AI-first and scaling rapidly across Europe and North America.

As a Senior Data Engineer you’ll design the warehousing architecture and own end-to-end data pipelines from ingestion through to analytics and payouts, shaping data quality, lineage, and observability while partnering with engineering and analysts.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in data engineering (or backend engineering with a heavy data focus).
• Hands-on with Snowflake and dbt; strong Python and SQL; data modeling, warehousing, and schema design.
• Experience owning end-to-end data systems in a fast-moving environment and using AI coding tools.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and own scalable data pipelines across our modern data stack (Fivetran, Snowflake, dbt, with Holistics and Hex for analytics).
• Lead architectural decisions across the data platform — including the OLake → Iceberg → Snowflake pipeline.
• Own data quality, lineage, and observability: freshness, completeness, schema-drift detection, cost-per-job, and SLAs.
• Partner with engineering and analysts on projects like telematics accuracy and driver incentive reporting.
• Model data for both operational and analytical use cases, and build the dbt transformation layers (staging / intermediate / mart).
• Use AI tooling (Claude, Cursor, and equivalents) as a core daily practice — to build pipelines, write and review SQL and dbt models.
• Our team runs on AI-native infrastructure; you'll use it, improve it, and bring the best of the ecosystem back to the team.
