Job Specifications

You’ll probably be the kind of Engineer who loves rolling up their sleeves, and still getting stuck into coding. You’ll probably like the sound of having no legacy tech to worry about – and you’re probably looking for the chance to actually influence decisions.

Well, this is the role for you.

You’d be joining a team who’ve built their data infrastructure from scratch over the last few years. Even better, they’re having no issues and things are going well – but they don’t want to stand still.

But as they’re continuing to grow, they’re looking to take it to the next level and make their infrastructure more mature – so you’ll come in to help with reliability and stability.

They already have plans to form a Central Data Hub (which you’ll play a big part in) – and establishing a larger data mesh.

Your focus will be on all things data processing within Databricks, ingestion pipelines, and DataOps/DevOps.

Tech wise, you’d surround yourself with PySpark/Python, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform and IaaC. Of course, you’ll ideally have exposure with most of it.

As it stands, their Data team is only small – just one other Data Engineer at the mo. So you’ll get the chance to put your own stamp on things, and take ownership of your own work.

Salary wise, they’ll pay anywhere from £70,000-£82,000 DOE. It’s majority remote – heading into Oxford once every couple of months or so.

They can interview this side of Christmas too.

Get in touch with Jack Leeming @ Optima Dev for a chat.

You need to be UK-based, and they can't offer sponsorship.
