LONDON OFFICE - HYBRID: 4 DAYS IN THE OFFICE, 1 DAY WORKING FROM HOME

Join Our Technology Team at Ebury London Office.
Ebury’s strategic growth plan would not be possible without our Data team and we are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join our Data Platform Engineering team!

Our data mission is to develop and maintain Ebury’s Data Warehouse and serve it to the whole company, where Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers and Data Analysts work collaboratively to:

• Build ETLs and data pipelines to serve data in our platform
• Provide clean, transformed data ready for analysis and used by our BI tool
• Develop department and project specific data models and serve these to teams across the company to drive decision making
• Automate end solutions so we can all spend time on high-value analysis rather than running data extracts

We are looking for a skilled Senior Data Engineer with a strong focus on building and optimising data platforms to join our growing team.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing, enhancing, and maintaining robust frameworks and best practices to support our analytics and ML initiatives. You will work closely with data analysts and other engineering teams to ensure our data platform is scalable, secure, and efficient.

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN EBURY?

Want to work in a high-growth environment? We are always growing. Want to build a better world? We believe in inclusion. We stand against discrimination in all forms and have no tolerance for the intolerance of differences that makes us a modern and successful organisation.
At Ebury you will find an internal group dedicated to discussing how we can build a more diverse and inclusive workplace for all people in the Technology Team, so if you’re excited about this job opportunity but your background doesn’t match exactly the requirements in the job description, we strongly encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other positions we have.

• Help to implement data governance policies, including data quality standards, data access control, and data classification.
• Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and stakeholders to understand data requirements and translate them into platform capabilities.
• Automate data ingestion, transformation, testing and integration processes to enhance data accessibility and data quality.
