  • Collaborate with Data Engineers to support the migration of data models from Oracle to BigQuery using DBT and ELT pipelines.
  • Develop, optimise, and maintain analytical data models following the Medallion architecture within BigQuery.
  • Translate complex Oracle table structures into scalable GCP data models to support analytical use cases.
  • Work with ingestion pipelines leveraging Kafka (in batches), Dataflow, to ensure reliable data availability in BigQuery.
  • Contribute to the build-out of the analytical data warehouse, ensuring data quality and governance standards are upheld.
  • Engage with prioritised migration plans to lift and shift tables and data models, targeting 60% migration completion within the year and full migration by mid-2025.
  • Participate in code freezes and deliverables aligned with project timelines, with onboarding into Rightmove targeted for late October/early November.
Required Skills and Experience

  • Hands-on experience with GCP BigQuery and cloud-based ETL/ELT workflows.
  • Practical knowledge of DBT for data transformation and modeling.
  • Experience working with data ingestion from batch/streaming sources such as Kafka and Dataflow or similar tools.
  • Prior involvement in data platform migrations, particularly transitioning from Oracle data warehouses to cloud platforms, is highly desirable.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, agile team environment focused on delivering large-scale data migration projects.
Joining AND

From the work we deliver, to the way we serve and support our people, we work hard to ensure that there's nowhere quite like AND. But joining a company is a two-way street: the fit has to work on both sides. So before you apply, here's three key things to understand about us:

  • We're built for people - like, real humans. Not 'resources' or 'staff'. That means happiness and wellbeing really do matter to us, and we hate unnecessary hierarchy and bureaucracy.
  • There's no well-trodden path ahead: AND is growing fast and forging a new trail. That's exciting, and gives us all the autonomy and opportunity we love - but bear in mind it also demands focus, patience and resilience.
  • Diversity is a priority. After all, to build great products that a wide variety of different people love to use, we need a wide variety of people to help us build them. So diversity is more than a policy or a word: it's business critical for us.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
