• 6-10 years of professional data engineering experience.
• Strong production Python skills and ownership of reliable ETL/ELT pipelines.
• Experience supporting AI or machine learning features in production.
• Conceptual or hands-on knowledge of graph databases and vector stores, beyond a SQL-only background.
• Cloud platform experience, preferably GCP, plus infrastructure as code, CI/CD and cloud security.
• Existing authorization to work in the UK or EU.
• Ability to work UK/CET hours and attend team on-sites about every two months.
Bonus points
• Early or founding engineering experience at a B2B startup.
• Financial systems, accounting, FP&A or business analytics experience.
• Interest in growing into a technical team lead.
Benefits
