Senior Data Engineer

A boutique research organisation that specialises in the management consulting industry sector. This ambitious company continually explores innovative approaches and as described by the recently hired director of data & technology, they are really in their start-up phase when it comes to technology.

They have lots of data, three data analysts and another senior data engineer who was on-boarded last year but thus far they have not really applied engineering acumen. This does mean that behind the scenes it's a bit of a mess but for the right hire, it's a massive opportunity to play a pivotal role in building a data platform that has never before existed, while designing cool tech to automate processes that are currently manual.

The Role:

Working in conjunction with the rest of the data team, you will be the technical lead in transitioning from the current operational bias - working on ad-hoc data projects and building out reports - toward a more strategic lens, building greenfield projects and a self-sustaining platform.

You will play a key role in scaling the company and while you will have architectural guidance, you will be expected to have strong opinions and significant engagement in defining their strategy.

This is a line management role of (depending on experience) between 1-3 data analysts, and you will need both the capability and appetite to develop into a lead data engineer role.

Tools used in the role include SQL, Python, Spark and AWS.

There is a fertile learning environment, an open, communicative culture, and your role will give you autonomy and accountability in equal measure.

Requirements:

• Strong SQL and Python
• Minimum of 3 years experience
• AWS or similar cloud tech
• Good leadership skills - both technical and people
