Job Description

Are you a curious and motivated Data Engineer eager to build scalable data products that power meaningful user experiences? Do you thrive in cross-functional environments and enjoy bridging the gap between data, product, and marketing?

We’re looking for a proactive and impact-driven Data Engineer to join our dynamic data team, composed of Data Engineers, Analysts, Scientists, Digital Specialists, and Product Owners.

You will play a key role in shaping and delivering initiatives at the intersection of data, product, and marketing. As part of our mission to unlock smarter data-driven decision-making and tailored user experiences, you will collaborate with experts across data, engineering, product, and marketing to ensure robust, efficient, and future-proof data pipelines and ML models.

Specifically, you will:

• Build data tools used across the company and across different data domains.

• Design and develop data integration pipelines for collecting, storing, and transforming data assets in the data lake and DWH using GCP-native tools and technologies.

• Ensure the reliable operation and maintenance of data infrastructure, including cloud infrastructure orchestration, documentation, data quality checks, and operational efficiency.

• Contribute to building and improving data products, including transformations, dashboards, and logical data warehouse models.

• Support initiatives around personalisation, targeting, experimentation, and data activation across marketing channels.

• Collaborate with analytics, product, and ML teams to enable end-to-end data workflows and create ML-ready datasets.

• Optimise cost-performance trade-offs across GCP services and implement efficient partitioning, clustering, and storage practices in BigQuery.

• Set up data pipelines between the Data Lake and Customer Data Platform, providing real-time data for personalisation and automated communication between our business and users.

• Validate, track, and integrate data from different sources to create scalable, easy-to-understand analytics applications.

• Help build the Automotive data platform of the future and deliver solutions that make a meaningful impact on the business.

Qualifications

What will you bring to the ride?

• A bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Management Information Systems, or an equivalent field.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience working with cloud platforms, preferably GCP, covering data ingestion, processing, warehousing, monitoring, orchestration, and modelling.

• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, with solid analytical skills to support robust data engineering solutions.

• Hands-on experience building data pipelines using tools and technologies such as dbt, Cloud Functions, and Kafka Streams.

• Good knowledge of DevOps best practices and the automation of documentation, testing, building, deployment, configuration, and monitoring.

• An understanding of cloud-based integration platforms that connect applications, systems, and data sources; experience with Elastic is preferred.

• A strong understanding of data engineering best practices gained through previous roles.

• The ability to work independently and in decentralised teams. We work in a Data Mesh environment, so knowledge of this approach is an advantage.

Who you are

• You look for opportunities to automate repetitive tasks and continuously improve processes.

• You love learning new things and strive for excellence in your day-to-day work.

• You enjoy working in a team but can also work independently and drive projects from start to finish.

• You are proactive, anticipate problems, and propose improvements before they become blockers.

• You operate with a high level of autonomy and accountability, moving work forward with minimal direction.

• You take ownership of key data initiatives, leading their design and delivery from problem discovery to production rollout, and demonstrate seniority through execution.

• You are excited by the idea of not just building pipelines but also shaping how the entire company thinks about data.
