As the central repository for sales data, we develop key business metrics for our data teams and business users to utilise in various critical discussions related to business strategies, campaigns, marketing initiatives, and workforce forecasting. This is achieved through the utilisation of cutting-edge technologies such as Snowflake, DBT, and other tools in the market space. These solutions enhance efficiency, accelerate data ingestion into our reporting platform, improve data quality, and guarantee data security and compliance.
We prioritise product development and data analysis, placing a strong emphasis on design and seeing projects through from start to end. This involves extensive coding, as well as implementing automation for tasks such as deployments(CICD) and testing (TDD). Additionally, we prioritise the use of DQ checks and Monitoring/ Alerting aspects to ensure the smooth operation of live applications.

Your deep understanding of technology and engineering principles will enable you to drive the product technical road map and contribute to optimising OPEX and CAPEX spend.
As a role model for best practices, you will champion a customer-centric mindset, mentor other engineers, and support performance within the team. Your expertise in SQL and programming languages within our ecosystem, coupled with your passion for data and delivering solutions, continuous improvement, and staying updated with emerging technologies, will contribute to our mission of providing amazing shopping experiences for our millions of customers across the UK.
