• Owning cloud infrastructure in AWS to host, monitor and scale the services, automating common tasks mercilessly and driving cost and performance optimisation.

• Partnering with Product Managers, architects and engineering teams to translate product requirements into scalable technical solutions, implementation plans and delivery roadmaps.

• Mentoring and coaching engineers through design reviews, pair programming and code review, raising the technical bar of the team.

• Driving data quality, observability, governance and reliability practices across Libra data products, including SLAs, lineage and monitoring.

• Contributing to architectural decisions for the wider Search and AI Platform and influencing technical direction beyond your immediate team.

Requirements:

• 6+ years of professional experience in data engineering, with a strong track record of building scalable, high-performance and reliable data platforms and services.

• Strong core skill set including SQL, Python, Airflow, Data Warehousing, Snowflake, AWS, Git, ETL/ELT and familiarity with AWS Glue.

• Deep experience with SQL and data warehouses, preferably Snowflake, including data modelling, performance tuning and cost management at scale.

• An advocate and enforcer of best practices for rapid development of quality software, including clean code, architectural design patterns, testing strategy and CI/CD.

• Comfortable learning new technologies, languages and tools on the job, and helping others do the same, to ensure the product is not left behind in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.

• Demonstrated experience leading the technical delivery of non-trivial projects end to end, from design through to production support.

• A desire to operate in a senior data engineering role, including deputising for the technical lead, owning design and implementation of data systems and pipelines, and setting engineering standards.

• An inclusive, positive, collaborative mindset and a desire to deliver real business value to our customers.

Nice to have
