🚀 Data Engineer (SQL & Java) – Fully Remote (UK) | Global Fintech

Our client is building next‐generation data capabilities to power a merchant‐first ecosystem — and they are looking for a hands‐on Data Engineer with strong database fundamentals and production‐grade engineering experience.

If you enjoy designing databases (not just querying them), building scalable pipelines, and solving real-world data challenges, this role is tailor‐made for you.

💼 The Role

As a Data Engineer, you will:

• Design, create, and maintain scalable data pipelines
• Build and optimise database schemas, tables, and cloud‐native workflows
• Develop reliable ETL/ELT processes
• Write and tune high-performance SQL across production systems
• Transform and model data for analytics, reporting, and finance
• Work closely with BI, Finance, and Engineering teams
• Own deliverables end‐to‐end in a fast‐moving fintech environment

⭐ Your Background

Essential (Primary Profile)

• Advanced SQL, ideally on Oracle or PostgreSQL
• Complex queries
• Optimisation and performance tuning
• Financial‐grade precision (8–10 decimal points)
• At least 1 year of Java programming experience
• Collections, streams, filters
• Groovy experience is a bonus
• Experience building and maintaining production data pipelines
• Familiarity with orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Airbyte)
• Exposure to SOAP/REST APIs and cloud object storage (S3, Blob, Oracle Bucket)
• Experience with modern cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift) & DBT

Nice to Have

• Oracle systems or cloud experience
• Groovy
• Automation/testing frameworks
• CI/CD & version control best practices

⭐ Alternative Profile (Optional Fit)

If you don’t match the above but instead have:

• 3–4 years as a Data Engineer,
• Strong Airflow pipeline orchestration experience, and
• Experience working within a fintech environment

...we still want to hear from you.
