Reporting into James (our Data Engineering Manager), who’s hands on and interested in pretty much everything technology, you’ll be joining an amazing team of five data engineers.

• operate in an Agile environment utilising scrum methodology
• be part of an open, friendly, and distributed team. We love being proactive and simplifying very technical concepts to the business

• hungry to learn and pick up new skills
• a savvy communicator, with the ability to take technical concepts and simplify them to a non-technical audience
• inclusive, great to work with, and loves helping the team succeed
