We’re looking

for a Senior Software Engineer who expects more from their career. It’s a chance to extend and improve dunnhumby’s Data Science Platform.

We’re a full-stack platform team working with a wide variety of tools and technologies. We handle the whole lifecycle of our teams’ solutions, from inception and development to their deployment and maintenance via Infrastructure as Code.

Joining our engineering team, you’ll work with passionate people to build, extend, and maintain the platform that underpins all our client engagements; from early data assessment and ETL to data analysis and visualisation.

Our work is varied, giving you the flexibility to move between products and technologies, so natural curiosity is essential. As a team, we're friendly, will help you get up to speed, and offer you plenty of opportunities to innovate.

What we expect from you

Expected skills:

1. Proficient in programming languages like Go, Python (Django), or Typescript
2. Containerisation & Orchestration (e.g., Docker/Kubernetes)
3. Experienced working with cloud technologies (We use GCP & Azure)
4. Solid understanding of high-quality coding, testing, and development practices

Preferable skills:

1. Infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform/Cloudformation/Pulumi)
2. Monitoring & Observability

What you can expect from us

We won’t just meet your expectations. We’ll defy them. So you’ll enjoy the comprehensive rewards package you’d expect from a leading technology company. But also, a degree of personal flexibility you might not expect. Plus, thoughtful perks, like flexible working hours and your birthday off.

You’ll also benefit from an investment in cutting-edge technology that reflects our global ambition. But with a nimble, small-business feel that gives you the freedom to play, experiment, and learn.

And we don’t just talk about diversity and inclusion. We live it every day – with thriving networks including dh Gender Equality Network, dh Proud, dh Family, dh One, and dh Thrive as the living proof. We want everyone to have the opportunity to shine and perform at your best throughout our recruitment process. Please let us know how we can make this process work best for you. For an informal and confidential chat, please contact us to discuss how we can meet your needs.

Our approach to Flexible Working

At dunnhumby, we value and respect difference and are committed to building an inclusive culture by creating an environment where you can balance a successful career with your commitments and interests outside of work.

We believe that you will do your best at work if you have a work/life balance. Some roles lend themselves to flexible options more than others, so if this is important to you, please raise this with your recruiter, as we are open to discussing agile working opportunities during the hiring process.
