We’re revolutionising the supply chain and financial foundations of the $800bn global drinks industry by building a platform that will change the way that commerce is executed forever! We’ve just secured our Series A funding and are proud to be part of Notion Capital's portfolio. We've already influenced immense change in the UK markets and have personally already seen tremendous growth, with over £250 million of product transacted through the platform and increased annual sales by 1,000% since early 2023. To date we're proud to say that we've deployed over £500m of funding in support of UK wine and spirits producers. As we look to expand our offering globally we're looking for ambitious builders that want to change an industry and be part of the journey with us. We're first to market and intend to stay ahead of the game! In short, it's the perfect time to join as we aim for unicorn and beyond 🚀

The Role:

Our platform is experiencing explosive growth and requires ongoing architecture upgrades to handle the ever increasing complexity, all while delivering new features at a rapid pace. We’re looking for a Sr Data Engineer who will be responsible for refining our data strategy and process requirements ensuring we stay on track with our company OKRs and Goals. You’ll be working alongside our Lead Data Engineer and our VP Engineering to drive our data infrastructure and build the foundations for best practice. We’re looking for someone who can be hands on and code but also want to drive great data architecture.

Key Responsibilities:

• Play a pivotal role in the evolution of our system architecture as it matures from MVP to a scaling platform; work alongside our VP Engineering to make our data platform more capable, flexible and scalable
• Collaborate closely cross-functional teams including product, finance, operations, and customer-success to ensure secure and efficient data operations that support business growth and strategic objectives
• Writing code - lots of it! We use Python, Java, TypeScript, Spark, and SQL, welcoming engineers from diverse programming backgrounds who are passionate about building robust data solutions
• Design, architect, and implement scalable, maintainable data pipelines and streaming solutions that drive our business, empower clients, and support data science initiatives
• Own the end‑to‑end design and implementation of data solutions, including data modelling, pipeline development, transformation processes, and visualisation
• Be closely involved in hiring and mentoring, help foster a collaborative, ambitious and outcome oriented culture

Key Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree (or above) in Computer Science/Maths/Physics or similar discipline
• 6+ years of relevant, broad data engineering/finance experience - prior experience working as part of a growth-focused team is a plus
• Proficient with one or more programming languages (Python is strongly preferred with other languages including Java, Scala, TypeScript, C++, C#)
• Experience using big data technologies in cloud environments to build data pipelines (e.g. Spark, EMR, Lambda etc.)
• Excellent communication, organisation and prioritisation skills, and have a strong ability to deliver results within tight timelines
• Passionate to work with small & medium sized enterprises (SMEs) - these are our clients!
• Prior experience worked in top tier financial companies in analytical & data roles is a bonus

Our Tech Stack:

We’re very tech agnostic when it comes to the engineers we bring on board to the team. For us it’s all about having strong foundations and the ability to produce great code so don’t be deterred if you don’t have experience in the following:

• TypeScript: React.js (FE) / Node.js (BE)
• Java
• Python
• AWS Cloud Infrastructure
• Modulised Monolith
