Data Engineer

Data Engineer Permanent | £45,000 - £50,000 DOE 

Design, build and own our data pipelines and analytics models, turning raw data into reliable, self‑serve insight for every team. 

A little bit about us 

We are a tech business that bundles household bills into one fixed monthly payment. One payment means easier finances, less time on the phone to suppliers, and less admin. It’s a game changer. 

It’s also a gorgeous place to work. Everybody gets stuck in to make things work, the team will make you feel welcome from day one, and the office is near some pretty great pubs. 

What you’ll be doing 

●Build and manage data pipelines– Ingest data from production systems and external APIs into our warehouse (BigQuery), ensuring accuracy, consistency, and performance. 

●Design our data models– Maintain the transformations that power dashboards, reports, and operational tools. 

●Support analytics– Create visualisations and reports for teams such as Growth, Finance, and Operations. Work on data projects, as well as address ad hoc data requests. 

●Champion best practices– Advocate for strong documentation, data governance, and version control. Assess new tools and technologies that can elevate our data capabilities. 

●Collaborate with DevOps and Engineering– Ensure our data infrastructure is secure, scalable, and reliable.
