QUALIFICATIONS

• Extensive experience in Python and SQL, with other languages such as R or PySpark desirable.

• Demonstratable experience with modern ETL tools (e.g., AWS Glue, AWS Step Functions, Kafka etc.).

  You will help mentor and coach more junior members of the team, and it’s essential that you’re able to take on the challenge of continuous learning and improvement. We actively encourage and support obtaining formal certification such as those offered by AWS.
  You will work directly with stakeholders, often internationally, so it’s essential that you can form a good working relationship with them, understanding what they want and keep them up to date with progress.

Working in a lead role within a team of AI Engineers you’ll lead the technical aspects of the team responsible for writing, testing, and delivering robust pipelines and processes which feed data into Wood Mackenzie’s Lens Platform.
Using established patterns with Python, AWS, and a bespoke Data Platform you’ll be supporting more junior members of the team deliver key pieces of work, while continually looking to improve existing technical approaches as well as prototyping and operationalising new patterns and processes.
As a technical leader, we’re looking for someone who has informed opinions on technologies, frameworks, and approaches to delivery. You must be able to articulate ideas effectively and strive to constantly improve deliverables.
