Data Engineers - Build the data foundations for a well-known, high-profile brand

This is a newly created Data Engineer role within a recognised and exciting organisation that’s investing seriously in data.

You’ll be the first dedicated Data Engineer in the business, playing a pivotal role in shaping how data is ingested, transformed, and used to power insights across the organisation. You’ll work closely with Analysts and Data Scientists in a small, collaborative data team, with real visibility and impact from day one.

If you enjoy building things properly, working with a modern data stack, and want ownership rather than maintenance work — this is a standout opportunity.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing, building, and maintaining cloud-based ETL pipelines on AWS
• Ingesting data from APIs, web sources, and internal systems into Snowflake
• Optimising and automating Python and SQL workflows for performance and reliability
• Ensuring data quality, consistency, and trust across the organisation
• Maintaining clear documentation, Git-based version control, and automated deployment pipelines
• Working closely with Analytics and Data Science to enable insight and decision-making at scale

What we’re looking for

• Experience building and maintaining data pipelines in a cloud environment (AWS preferred)
• Strong Python and SQL skills
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake (or similar modern data warehouses)
• Comfort working with APIs and multiple data sources
• Someone who enjoys autonomy, ownership, and shaping best practice
• Clear communicator who enjoys working in a small, agile data team

Why this role stands out

• First Data Engineer hire – shape the platform, not just inherit it
• Modern tech stack – no legacy baggage
• High-impact role – your work directly enables insight across the business
• Well-known brand with strong momentum and ambition
• £50–60k budget with flexibility for the right person
