YOUR ROLE

As a Data & AI Engineer, you'll own data pipelines that power real business decisions across ZURU's global operations. Working with Databricks, dbt, Fivetran and AWS, you'll design and run production systems end to end, from ingestion through to the models the business actually reports on. You'll take full ownership of your domains and help shape how the platform evolves.

This role sits at the centre of data-driven decision-making at ZURU. You'll build reliable, well-modelled data products, drive up data quality, and make the platform easier and safer for everyone to build on. Your work determines whether commercial, marketing and logistics teams can trust and act on their numbers, and you'll have a direct hand in the direction of ZURU's data platform and AI capability.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

- Design, build and own production data pipelines ingesting from SAP, retail POS systems, logistics platforms and marketing channels

- Lead migrations of legacy pipelines into modern, scalable architectures, including the design decisions and cutover plan

- Model data for analytics and AI use cases, setting the standards others follow

- Build observability, testing and alerting into pipelines so issues surface before the business finds them

- Improve platform infrastructure and tooling, and reduce operational toil through automation

- Partner directly with commercial, marketing and logistics stakeholders to turn ambiguous asks into well-scoped datasets

- Review others' work and mentor junior engineers on SQL, Python and pipeline design

- Contribute to governance, documentation and platform standards, and to AI-assisted workflows across the team

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

- 3+ years of experience building and running data pipelines in production

- Advanced SQL, including performance tuning on large datasets

- Strong Python for pipelines, automation and tooling, with a working knowledge of software engineering practice (version control, testing, code review)

- Hands-on experience with dbt and a cloud data platform (Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery or Redshift)

- Proven experience with orchestration, and a track record of debugging and hardening pipelines that fail in production

- Comfortable owning delivery end to end and working through ambiguity without close direction

- Clear communicator who documents decisions and can explain trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders

BONUS

- Spark, streaming, or large-scale distributed processing

- AWS (or equivalent) and infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform

- CI/CD for data, data contracts, or data quality frameworks

- Exposure to LLM or AI-driven data workflows

- Experience mentoring engineers or leading a workstream

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.
