• Experience building and maintaining ELT pipelines using dbt in a production environment
• Strong understanding of data modelling principles (e.g., bronze/silver/gold layer design)
• Hands-on experience with BI tools (Amazon Quicksight, Tableau, Looker, etc.)
• Familiarity with software engineering best practices: Git, version control, CI/CD, testing
• Confident communicator with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical teams

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with Airflow, Airbyte, or other orchestration tools
• Familiarity with ingestion tools like Fivetran
• Experience working with Spark or distributed computing systems
• Exposure to AWS and broader cloud infrastructure
• Knowledge of reverse ETL workflows and tooling
  

What Success Looks Like:

• You're delivering clean, well-modelled data quickly and reliably
• Key metrics and dashboards are trusted and used company-wide
• You’ve helped scale our data platform to support new products and growth
• Your work unlocks new visibility for product, sales, and exec teams
• You're a proactive, go-to partner across the business for data solutions
  

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive salary + equity as we want you to share in our growth
• Private healthcare including dental & optical
• 25 days holiday + your birthday off + duvet days
• Hybrid working - 2 -3 days in-office (Carnaby Street), 2 days WFH
• Snacks, drinks & team lunches in our Soho office
• The opportunity to help build one of PropTech’s most data-rich platforms from the ground up
