Senior Data Engineer

Let's be #BrilliantTogether

ISS Stoxx is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to bolster our expertise in the development and deployment of our cutting-edge financial intelligence platform. We are concluding the first phase of a full-scale re-architecting of our on-prem data estate to a modern componentised set of solutions using GCP technologies. In this IC role, you will collaborate with Principal Data Engineers and the wider team to evolve our data architecture and interpret product needs, requirements and enterprise policies into solutions that deliver clear value and accrue to our five-year vision.

You'll be able to demonstrate comfort and success in a matrixed organisation where reporting lines do not always dictate technical direction - in a culture where the global Data Engineering function collaborate to achieve shared success. You will collaborate with cross-functional peers and stakeholders to share best practice and knowledge, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.

You'll be a humble expert, willing and able to meet people at their level and both help them and learn from them. You'll lead by example, using data and proof-of-concepts to bring people along and make them successful. You'll own deliverables as well as co-developing solutions with your peers and colleagues, to help others develop.

Success in this role means you successfully navigate the line between personal and team value delivery - you embody beliefs and practices that helping your peers and colleagues grow and deliver their best, improves and reflects back on you too.
