Data Engineer | Fintech Scale-Up | Fully Remote (UK Only)

• Designing, building, and maintaining scalable data pipelines (batch & real-time/streaming).

• Developing and optimising robust ELT processes to ingest, enrich, and publish trusted data.

• Building with privacy, security, and compliance front of mind-especially for sensitive financial and user data.

• Integrating monitoring and observability to detect and resolve data quality/performance issues.

• Architecting and delivering performant data models for lakehouse storage and analytics.

📈 Key Focus Areas for 2025

• Datamarks - Establishing a common language across metrics and datasets

• Streaming events - Real-time ingestion and transformation pipelines

• AI-driven predictive insights - Powering smarter decisions across the business

• Equity with strong exit potential

• Private medical insurance

• Fully remote (UK-based team)

• Early influence in a brand-new data org

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge fintech problems
