What You'll Do

Our teams are growing rapidly and we’re hiring a DataOps Engineer to take our products to the next level of scale.  Use your experience in data engineering to help define Data as a Product, and bring your expertise to improve not just the product itself but the client experience, leveraging data, from ETL to the presentation layer.  You will work closely with your Tech Lead and the other engineers in your team to define the appropriate technical approach, metrics, and timelines. You will have your say in the product roadmap and help the team and the Product Manager to make the most informed decisions to break down complex tech deliverables into simple and understandable user stories. You will drive collaboration, gather feedback, solve problems, and tackle challenges through tests and learning.  Quality is key for us, so you will ensure all product components are built to an appropriate level of quality for the stage (alpha/beta/production), deliver products using the appropriate level of testing and monitoring, fail fast, and learn and iterate frequently. You will champion continuous improvement and always aim to improve the product your team owns and measure your impact with the appropriate tech, product, or delivery metrics.

  • Communicate with customers to discuss new use cases or help them identify and fix data issues, as well as manage the end-to-end setup for them: from raw data analysis, to defining and implementing data ingestion/enrichment pipelines to creating data visualisations

What we’re looking for

  • Good understanding of Data pipeline design and implementation using Airflow (or another job management tool) and Python (or Python derivative, like PySpark)
  • Good visualization skills using Tableau and/or other visualisation tools
  • Good experience with SQL 
  • Good understanding of Data management and/or Data governance (making sure the data is of expected volume, schema, etc.)
  • Good understanding of microservices architecture principles
  • Experience with Snowflake (or another columnar database)
  • Exposure to AWS or other cloud provider
  • Exposure to Databricks
