Job description

Data Platform Engineer, Cloud Data Engineer, AWS Data Engineer, Database Engineer, AWS, DynamoDB, Redis, ElastiCache, PostgreSQL, RDS, Aurora, Terraform, OpenSearch, NoSQL, SQL, Data Infrastructure, Cloud Platform Engineer, FinTech.

Requirements

Strong hands-on experience with AWS data and database technologies
Commercial experience with DynamoDB and Redis/ElastiCache
Good understanding of relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server or Oracle
Experience designing, building or operating production data/database platforms
Experience with cloud migrations, platform modernisation or re-architecting production systems
Understanding of the architectural trade-offs between relational, NoSQL, caching and search technologies
Experience with Terraform/IaC, CI/CD or infrastructure automation
Experience working with scalability, resilience, performance and availability within production environments
Strong communication skills and the ability to take ownership of technical problems through to implementation

Experience with RDS/Aurora, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, CDC/replication, Python, Kafka, S3 or Snowflake would be beneficial, as would experience within FinTech, financial services or another high-volume transactional environment.

This would particularly suit an engineer who has worked in an environment where they’ve had broad technical ownership and exposure across multiple technologies, rather than being restricted to one narrow area of a data platform.

Benefits & conditions

The role offers £100,000-£120,000 + 20% bonus + benefits, including an enhanced pension and life cover. It is London-based with hybrid working circa 3 days per week.
