Founding Data Engineer | Fast-Growing Tech Scale-Up £95-105K
A fast-scaling hardware/software company is making its first ever data hire and they're looking for someone who wants to build a data function from zero, not maintain someone else's.
The company currently has valuable commercial, operational and product data spread across several systems. You would own bringing this together into a single, reliable source of truth, building the underlying architecture and creating consistent definitions that can be used across the business.
What you'll actually be doing:
- Architecting the data foundation solo, with a clear path to leading the team as it's built out around you
- Using AI/LLM tooling to accelerate integration and build genuinely self-serve, trustworthy natural-language querying, not just talking about it, building it
- Working directly with commercial, product, and engineering stakeholders to get real alignment on shared definitions
What we're looking for:
- Strong Python + SQL, comfortable owning architecture independently
- Databricks (or similar lakehouse/warehouse) plus dbt or equivalent
- Genuine hands-on experience building with LLMs/agents, not just familiarity
- Strong stakeholder management skills
Package:
- £95-105K base, equity (ESOP), private healthcare + other perks
- Minimum once a month in the office in Oxfordshire
If you've ever wanted to build a data function's foundations from a blank slate, with the backing of a company already in hyperscale growth, then apply here.
