We are seeking a skilled Data Engineer to join our Engineering team responsible for designing building and optimising scalable data pipelines that power advanced analytics and machine learning solutions. You will play a key role in enabling data-driven decision-making by delivering high-quality reliable datasets to tools such as Amazon SageMaker and other analytics platforms.

Key Responsibilities


We are looking for a Data Engineer to work closely with the Data Science team to develop robust data pipelines that feed analytics and machine learning tools such as Amazon SageMaker and third-party platforms like Databricks. You will leverage AWS technologies such as EMR S3 EKS and Airflow to process and orchestrate high-volume datasets ensuring solutions are scalable resilient and cost-efficient. You will also play a key role in embedding data loss prevention (DLP) principles and controls into data pipelines to protect sensitive information while ensuring data is reliable accessible well-governed and optimised for downstream consumption.

Skills Knowledge & Expertise


Essential
  • Strong experience in data engineering within AWS cloud environments.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS big data technologies such as EMR S3 and SageMaker.
  • Proficiency in Python for building scalable data pipelines and processing frameworks. Experience with Apache Spark for distributed data processing.
  • Experience designing and maintaining scalable batch and real-time data pipelines.
  • Solid understanding of ETL/ELT design patterns and data modelling techniques.
  • Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow (ideally deployed on AWS).
  • Familiarity with containerisation and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS).
  • Experience with infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform) and CI/CD/GitOps practices.
  • Proven ability to optimise performance and reduce cloud costs through partitioning clustering and workload management.
  • Understanding of data security principles including data loss prevention (DLP).
Desirable

  • Experience with Databricks or similar third-party big data platforms.
  • Knowledge of real-time streaming technologies (e.g. Kafka Kinesis).
  • Experience implementing data governance and compliance frameworks.
  • Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools in AWS environments.
  • Exposure to Lakehouse or modern data platform architectures.


Job Benefits


  • Flexible Working: Balance your work and personal life with our flexible working options.
  • Generous Holiday Allowance: Enjoy 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays with the option to buy up to 5 additional days of annual leave.
  • Medicash & Critical Illness Scheme
  • Financial & Investment Benefits: Enjoy peace of mind with our Pension Life Assurance and Share Save Scheme.
  • Community & Volunteering Programmes: Make a difference in your community with our volunteering opportunities.
  • Green Car Scheme: Drive green and save money with our eco-friendly car scheme.
  • Cycle Scheme: Stay fit and healthy with our cycle-to-work scheme.
  • Special Time Off: Take time off for those big moments in life like getting married/entering into a civil partnership becoming a grandparent and welcoming home a new pet.
