Job description

  • Design and build scalable batch and streaming data pipelines, supporting ingestion, transformation, and serving layers.
  • Develop and maintain data assets aligned to medallion architecture (bronze, silver, gold), ensuring clear ownership, quality, and usability.
  • Model sportsbook domain data (bets, offers, rewards, digital data) into reusable, well-defined datasets for downstream consumption.
  • Implement data transformation logic using modern tooling (e.g. dbt, Spark, SQL-based frameworks), ensuring consistency and testability.
  • Build and optimise streaming data pipelines (Kafka/Flink or equivalent) to enable near real-time data availability.
  • Ensure data quality and reliability through validation frameworks, observability, and robust handling of late-arriving or inconsistent data.
  • Design data contracts and schemas that enable reliable integration between upstream event producers and downstream consumers.
  • Optimise pipelines and storage for performance and cost efficiency within AWS.
  • Collaborate with analytics, data science, and machine learning teams to translate business requirements into high-quality data assets.
  • Contribute to data governance practices, including metadata management, lineage, and discoverability.

What You’ll Work On

  • A modern sportsbook data platform built on AWS, supporting both real-time and batch data processing.
  • Medallion-aligned data layers enabling progressive refinement from raw ingestion through to curated, business-ready datasets.
  • Streaming pipelines that ingest and process high-volume sportsbook events (bets, pricing, settlements).
  • Curated data assets powering trading analytics, risk monitoring, and customer personalisation models.
  • Integration with semantic layers, BI tools, and machine learning platforms.
  • Data governance and metadata tooling to improve transparency, trust, and reuse across the organisation.

Requirements

  • 5+ years experience in data engineering, building and maintaining scalable data platforms.
  • Strong SQL and data modelling skills, with experience designing analytical datasets.
  • Experience with modern data stack tools (e.g. dbt, Spark, Airflow, or similar orchestration and transformation frameworks).
  • Experience with cloud-based data platforms, ideally AWS.
  • Understanding of medallion architecture or similar data layering approaches.
  • Experience working with streaming technologies (Kafka, Flink, or similar).
  • Strong understanding of data quality, testing, and observability practices.
  • Experience designing schemas and handling data consistency challenges in distributed systems.
  • Ability to work closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable data solutions.
  • Proactive mindset with the ability to operate in evolving environments and iterate on solutions.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in sports betting, trading, or financial data domains.
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures and real-time data products.
  • Experience with semantic layers (e.g. Cube.js) or metrics-layer design.
  • Exposure to data governance and metadata tools (e.g. OpenMetadata, Hive Metastore).
  • Experience supporting machine learning workflows and feature engineering pipelines.
