Job description

Your new company

You’ll be joining a well-established organisation that is continuing to invest in its data, cloud and engineering capability. They are building out a modern engineering environment and are looking for someone who enjoys solving technical problems, building practical solutions and taking ownership of delivery.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work across software, cloud and data engineering, rather than being confined to traditional reporting, BI or ETL-focused work.

Your new role

As a Data Engineer, you’ll take a hands-on role in designing, building and deploying data-focused solutions, with Python and AWS at the heart of the technology environment.

You’ll work on developing reliable data pipelines, processing and transforming data, and building cloud-based solutions that can be deployed into production. The emphasis is very much on engineering and delivery, so you’ll be expected to contribute directly to the development of solutions rather than simply configuring cloud services or working predominantly with reporting tools.

The team is deliberately keeping the background flexible. You could currently be a Data Engineer, Software Engineer, Backend Engineer, Platform Engineer, Cloud Engineer or Python Engineer. What matters most is that you have strong Python and AWS experience, a solid engineering foundation, and that data has formed a meaningful part of the systems or solutions you’ve built.

What you’ll need to succeed

You’ll need to be a hands-on engineer who can demonstrate strong Python development and AWS cloud experience, alongside experience building and deploying real-world solutions.

We’re particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:

  • Strong hands-on Python development experience
  • Practical experience building solutions within AWS
  • Experience deploying applications, services or data solutions into cloud/production environments
  • Experience working with data pipelines, data processing, ingestion, transformation or data platforms
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and an understanding of how to build reliable, maintainable solutions
  • Evidence of delivering real projects, including being able to explain what you personally designed, built or implemented
  • The ability to troubleshoot technical problems and take ownership of engineering tasks through to delivery
  • Clear and natural communication skills, particularly when explaining technical projects and decisions

You do not need to match every element of the job description. If you are a strong Python/AWS engineer with meaningful experience working with data, we are keen to hear from you.

What you’ll get in return

You’ll join an organisation investing in its technology and data capability, giving you the opportunity to work on meaningful engineering projects and contribute directly to the solutions being developed.

You’ll also have the chance to broaden your experience across Python, AWS, cloud engineering and data, making this particularly attractive for Software, Backend, Platform or Cloud Engineers who want to move further into data engineering without stepping away from hands-on technical work.
