Data Software Engineer

We build game-changing products and scalable platforms for complex, high-volume digital markets.Our cross-functional teams create online platforms and software solutions that reach hundreds of thousands of users every day.Your missionAre you ready to push technology into the future as a Data Software Engineer at The Workshop?We’re looking for skilled, versatile and collaborative engineers with excellent design and problem-solving abilities.If you have experience developing high-performance applications and are ready to tackle challenges across the stack, we want to hear from you.In this role, you’ll apply strong software-engineering fundamentals to building the services and capabilities of our data platform.You’ll design and develop systems that orchestrate, configure and expose ingestion, transformation and data-quality capabilities as a service, following a complete DevOps approach.We’re looking for someone comfortable building production software: delivering new functionality while ensuring that everything built is reliable, observable, maintainable and easy to support.What you’ll doBuild services that orchestrate and expose ingestion, transformation and data-quality capabilities to other teams.Develop ingestion and connector-based integration capabilities using Kafka and Kafka Connect.Integrate and orchestrate distributed processing engines such as Apache Spark, Flink or Beam behind clean service APIs.Abstract the underlying execution of data-processing technologies.Implement comprehensive monitoring and alerting to track service health, data quality and resource utilisation.Investigate and support production issues, improving reliability and reducing recurring operational problems.Support performance-tuning initiatives and identify opportunities to increase efficiency and throughput.Use approved AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly for development, testing, documentation and troubleshooting.Direct AI coding agents as part of everyday delivery by providing clear context, critically reviewing their output and taking responsibility for the quality, security and design of everything that ships.Work with engineers and product owners using agile methodologies.Take end-to-end ownership of your work under a DevOps philosophy covering the entire software development lifecycle.Follow best practices in design, coding, testing, operations and monitoring.Give and receive constructive feedback through code reviews.Collaborate, perform peer reviews, share knowledge and develop skills across the team.Suggest and implement improvements that optimise the software development lifecycle.Keep up to date with developments in software, data and streaming technologies.Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain and
