Senior Data EngineerSimply Business

London, U 08-12-2023
B Corp
Here’s what you’ll be doing:

This is an exciting role where you get access to a fantastic training and conferences budget, Friday afternoon learning time, and a team who will support you to succeed.
We’re an international team, driving our class-leading data platform forwards as well as developing greenfield data products. We spend our time bug fixing, and pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zone. 
Reporting into James (our Data Engineering Manager), who’s hands on and interested in pretty much everything technology, you’ll be joining a team that is highly collaborative and not afraid to share exciting ideas that we then bring to life.

As one of our Senior Data Engineers, you’ll:

    • work as part of a centre of excellence for data specialists. You’ll help to look after our data, business intelligence and machine learning platforms
    • be able to develop your own scripts and triage any potential bugs 
    • contribute ideas and help to prioritise technical work
    • operate in an Agile environment utilising scrum methodology
    • be part of an open, friendly, and distributed team. We love being proactive and simplifying very technical concepts to the business

We’re looking for someone who is:

    • hands-on when building data pipelines
    • able to demonstrate coding knowledge in JVM languages (Java, Kotlin, or Scala), as well as Ruby or Python (you don’t have to be great at coding in them all)
    • adept at working with Graph Databases
    • knowledgeable in data stream processing using Kafka Streams or similar
    • able to demonstrate understanding of containerised micro services architecture


(We know it’s tough, but please try to avoid the ​​confidence gap​.​​ You don’t have to match all the bullet points above to be considered for this role.)

We encourage people of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive, supportive place for you to be you and do your very best work.
