We understand no one can be an expert in every aspect of data/software Engineering. However, if you have coding or scripting knowledge / experience with a data engineering background, we would like to hear from you.

Specifically, we are looking for people who have….

  • Hands-on proven experience of delivering systems design, software development, testing and operational stability.
  • Proven experience and knowledge of automation and CI/CD
  • Proficiency in relevant programming languages, frameworks, and technologies, such as Python, Java, Rust, JavaScript, React, Angular, TensorFlow, PyTorch.

  • Strong experience working with Kafka technologies.
  • Computer science fundamentals: a clear understanding of data structures, algorithms, software design, design patterns and core programming concepts.

Our focus is to ensure we are inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity, or culture. We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it is why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups. We are disability confident. So, if you would like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
  • An annual performance-related bonus
