You will be joining a team that delivers the tools and capabilities to allow a range of users to work with data effectively, safely and efficiently. You will be challenged in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, but you’ll be given the autonomy, mastery and purpose to succeed.

  • Work with our Data Engineers to help design, build and maintain Data Products delivering critical analytical data to people and systems

  • Help maintain a common set of tools and standardsHelp empower our data teams (Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Analysts) to take ownership of the operation, performance and availability of our data services
  • Ensure that the Data Platform remains secure, well governed and well managed
  • Build out new capabilities for the platform with self-service in mind
  • Monitor the platform so that we are aware of any issues before our stakeholders are

What We’re Looking For (experience / skills you'll need)

  • Experience working with cloud infrastructure & platforms (ideally GCP)
  • Knowledge of infrastructure as code, containerisation, automation and monitoring tools
  • Experience using version control tools (git)
  • Experience designing, building and operating highly available, highly scalable systems
  • Understanding of data platforms and tooling in the data domain
  • Working knowledge of Unix based OS (Mac/Linux)

Key Criteria

  • Experience using a scripting programming language (e.g. python, ruby)
  • Be passionate about working within an agile, multidisciplinary devops team.
  • Be a team player who works well with their colleagues through sharing and collaboration
  • Be a clear communicator that is also happy to have their work critiqued
  • Analytical thinker who loves to solve complex design challenges

Please note, on occasion we may receive a very large volume of applications which means applications for a role may close earlier than the referenced closing date. We’d encourage you to apply as soon as possible if interested.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
