The role

We're looking for a Senior Data Applications Engineer to join our small, all-senior data team.

We build the data models, pipelines and applications that support the business, from product and marketing analytics through to fraud detection and internal operational tools.

We work AI-first. Coding agents write a significant amount of our code, while we focus on architecture, testing, guardrails and making sure AI-assisted development is safe and reliable in production.

You'll help turn our data into useful applications, APIs and internal tools, not just tables and dashboards.

What you'll do

  • Build data applications end to end using AI, from data models and infrastructure through to APIs and user interfaces.
  • Turn data into internal tools, APIs and self-service products for teams across the business.
  • Work across Databricks workspaces, dbt projects and data pipelines.
  • Help shape technical direction across application architecture, APIs, data modelling, testing, security and performance.
  • Review AI-generated code, identify weaknesses and turn recurring issues into automated checks and guardrails.
  • Improve our codebases and workflows so both engineers and coding agents can work more effectively.
