The Lead Data Engineer is a critical role in the successful design and implementation of data solutions and projects and the overall platform governance. We are looking for an experienced Data Engineering Lead to lead the development, reliability and evolution of CV-Library’s data engineering capability.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be responsible for setting the technical direction of the Data Engineering function while remaining close to the engineering work, designing solutions, reviewing architecture and code, improving our data platform, and helping the team deliver reliable, scalable data products.

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the technical strategy for our AWS-based data platform and Data Engineering function.
  • Lead the design and delivery of scalable, reliable and cost-effective data solutions.
  • Build and optimise modern batch and real-time data pipelines to support business growth.
  • Own and evolve our data architecture, ensuring scalability, performance and maintainability.
  • Champion engineering best practices, including code reviews, technical standards and architectural governance.
  • Develop robust data models and datasets that power reporting, analytics, product insights and machine learning.
  • Drive improvements in data quality, observability, monitoring and platform reliability.
  • Lead the adoption of Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD and automation across the data platform.
  • Work closely with analysts, data scientists and business stakeholders to turn data requirements into impactful solutions.
  • Evaluate and implement new technologies, including AWS AI services, to enhance platform capabilities.
  • Lead incident resolution, root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Mentor and develop a team of Data Engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership and collaboration.

Requirements

  • Strong commercial experience in Data Engineering, with experience leading or mentoring engineers.
  • Strong experience designing and building cloud-based data platforms, ideally on AWS.
  • Excellent SQL skills and strong experience with analytical data modelling.
  • Strong hands-on experience with dbt in a production environment.
  • Experience building and operating production-grade data pipelines.
  • Strong Python development skills.
  • Experience with data warehouses such as Amazon Redshift.
  • Experience with orchestration technologies such as Apache Airflow.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code, ideally Terraform.
  • Good understanding of CI/CD and modern software engineering practices.
  • Experience working with both batch and event-driven/streaming data.
  • Strong understanding of data quality, monitoring, observability and operational reliability.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • A pragmatic approach to engineering: knowing when to build, when to improve and when to keep things simple.

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.
