​Are you a lead engineer with experience in data wrangling?

Are you looking to make an impact on a greenfield project?


We're working with a small software consultancy who are building a reputation for exceptional delivery. This is an opportunity for you to join their flagship project working in the energy sector. As a tech lead, you will have the chance to spearhead a newly formed team. You will be responsible for designing and delivering a new system to replace an existing data warehouse project with something that better serves the needs of other teams in the company as well as 3rd party suppliers.

You are confident in your ability to rapidly deliver value by understanding the current system and designing the future one. You will also work to set day-to-day best practices and standards for the rest of the team.

Why Join?

  • Work with a great team in a business run by two very savvy founders

  • Complete autonomy in designing a new system to replace an existing data warehouse

  • Chance to do some greenfield work

  • Fully remote anywhere in the UK

  • Competitive Rate: Earn £600 per day, outside of IR35.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Previous technical lead experience (you will help define the architecture and best practices)

  • Experience of building backend services in Python or Node and ideally have spend some time on both

  • You would have worked closely with data engineers previously or better still have spent some time on a data engineering project

  • Experience of designing microservices

  • Cloud experience in GCP would be perfect but AWS and Azure will also be considered

Nice to have's

  • Experience with React

  • Experience with Big Query

FAQ’s

  • Any flexibility on the rate? Nope, sorry. As we are recruiting UK wide and offering remote we are confident we will find someone great in budget.

  • Will you consider people outside the UK? No the project includes working with customer data for a publicly traded company, and so this is not an option.

If you're ready to take on this challenge and be a part of a forward-thinking team, we want to hear from you!
