Data Engineer

Based: Offices in High Wycombe with hybrid / remote options

Term: Full time, permanent

Salary: £50000 - £60000 pa + excellent benefits

Focusrite Group are looking for an experienced Data Engineer with strong SQL and analytical skills to join our Business Intelligence team, to help us better understand and support our customers. You’ll be part business analyst, part engineer; working with teams across the group to present their data in ways that make it useful, accurate and timely. 

We model data in Snowflake using dbt, making use of Power BI for most (but not all) of our presentation. Code is managed in GitHub using a continuous integration model, with all changes going through peer review within the team. We support a network of “power users” across the business, helping them to turn their domain expertise into high quality reporting by ensuring they have the data, training and tools they need. 

Primary activities: 

  • Working with data owners, power users and other stakeholders across the group to understand their data and reporting practices and needs 
  • Defining and implementing data transformation and presentation to deliver on those needs 
  • Identifying opportunities to standardise and re-use models and patterns for a consistent approach 
  • Implementing testing and documentation at each step of the transformation pipeline to ensure quality 
  • Collaborating with the team to design and review new projects, and maintain existing code 

Focusrite Group makes extensive use of a wide variety of data sources to meet various goals, such as operational improvement and regulatory reporting. These include ERP transactions, product registrations, inventory and bill-of-materials information, sustainability metrics, marketing analytics and many more. Ensuring consistent modelling of these sources from our eight brands and multiple regional business units is challenging from a reporting perspective alone, but increasingly overlaps with operational activities as well. For example, we are working towards a Master Data Management (MDM) approach to unify product data, which will require engagement across all brands. 

 You’ll be: 

  • Comfortable working with business users, both technical and nontechnical, to understand complex data sources and workflows 
  • Experienced in SQL, ideally using dbt to manage your code 
  • Familiar with reporting tools, and more importantly with the ways users engage with them 
  • Aware of typical processes in a consumer products company – CRM, inventory management, customer data management etc. 
  • Creative and curious, with an eye for detail

Negotiating Your Data Science Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Data science has rapidly evolved from a niche specialty to a cornerstone of strategic decision-making in virtually every industry—from finance and healthcare to retail, entertainment, and AI research.
