About the role

Who you are

  • We’re seeking someone who combines deep Python expertise, strong software development principles, and modern data architecture know-how, with the confidence and clarity to lead technical decisions in ambiguous or early-stage environments
  • Deep experience building data services and tools in Python (not just scripts)
  • Strong knowledge of Python design patterns, modular architecture, dependency injection, and packaging best practices
  • Familiarity with Python based web framworks, FastAPI, or similar frameworks is a plus
  • Expertise in building resilient, maintainable batch and real-time data pipelines
  • Proven experience with tools like Apache Spark, Apache Beam, or Airflow
  • Experience working with streaming technologies (Kafka, Pulsar, Flink, or similar)
  • Experience deploying and scaling solutions in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Solid understanding of data lakehouse architecture, Delta Lake, Parquet, and partitioning strategies
  • Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, TDD, CI/CD, and version control (Git)
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical decisions, influence design patterns, and drive development excellence
  • Ability to prototype new solutions and evaluate trade-offs before committing to an implementation path
  • Hands-on experience with the Databricks ecosystem
  • Familiarity with data governance, access controls, and lineage tooling in modern stacks (Unity Catalog, Iceberg, etc.)
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
  • Monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling for data pipelines (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for a Senior Data Developer with strong leadership capabilities and the ability to drive innovation in a greenfield space
  • This isn’t your typical platform maintenance role — we’re building entirely new applications and pipelines, so we need someone who can operate autonomously, challenge the status quo, and prototype and build beyond existing tools or stacks
  • As part of our forward-thinking Data Team, you’ll be at the forefront of developing new batch and streaming solutions that power business-critical applications
  • You’ll collaborate with product owners, architects, and developers across disciplines to shape our future-facing data capabilities — including those that don’t yet exist
  • Leading the design and development of new data applications and pipelines from scratch — with minimal constraints on tools or tech stack
  • Building and optimizing scalable batch and streaming data pipelines using modern data frameworks and software development best practices
  • Creating prototypes and PoCs to validate ideas and guide product and architectural decisions
  • Applying solid software development fundamentals (modularity, reusability, TDD, CI/CD) to data-centric problems
  • Working closely with data architects, machine learning developers, and stakeholders to design elegant and scalable data solutions
  • Driving technical discussions, mentor developers, and help shape long-term data strategy
  • Taking ownership of data reliability, pipeline observability, and performance optimization

Benefits

  • Up to 10% annual bonus
  • Career pathways and development opportunities
  • Private healthcare scheme
  • Enhanced Maternity/Paternity/Adoption leave pay
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Wellhub
  • Life Assurance (3 x salary)
  • Contributory Pension Plans
