Hybrid - a day each week central London

£50-75k + benefits

The Data Engineer will be core to the design and implementation of a new operational data warehouse and a new analytical data warehouse from scratch.

The current tech stack is Python, PostgreSQL on RDS, Airflow and Snowflake. This is NOT a role where you’ll be just configuring data tooling… it’s hardcore Python and SQL coding!

The company is a digital surgery scale-up (launched in 2016) with a rapidly growing customer base across the UK, Europe, US and Australia, working with prestigious healthcare clients.

Sustained growth and a partnership with a billion-dollar US healthcare company underpins this opening for a talented Data Engineer to help take their data infrastructure and pipelines to the next level.

The role:

• Helping to rebuild reporting interfaces across the product and the analytics warehouse. You will be core to creating the infrastructure for this effort as well
• Working with the backend team to assist with data optimisation, real-time data queries, and other infrastructure projects
• Proactively analysing and improving the quality of the systems: including performance, scalability, maintainability, test coverage and documentation

You will need:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Python. Python is the core competency hence it’s crucial for you to be intimately familiar with collaborative Python development
• Very comfortable with SQL, preferably PostgreSQL
• Growth mindset: a love of learning and resilience in the face of odds
• Team mindset
• CI/CD and modern software testing
• Foundational AWS products and systems, such as RDS, S3 and EC2
