Details

We are looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Data Engineer to join our team and play a key role in transforming raw operational and commercial data into actionable insights. This role will work across multiple data sources, including NetSuite, Shopify, SnapFulfil WMS and others to support strategic decision-making across finance, operations, and ecommerce.

This is a new role whereby the candidate will help to steer the direction of the data stack to be used (Snowflake/SQL/Fabric etc).

The ideal candidate will have hands‑on experience in managing modern data platforms, a strong understanding of data pipelines, and the ability to create and develop clear, business‑relevant insights.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Build and maintain robust data models in a data warehouse/lake using data from NetSuite, Shopify, and SnapFulfil WMS amongst many others.
  • Develop and automate reports and dashboards that support business needs across finance, operations, supply chain, and ecommerce.
  • Clean, transform, and validate large datasets to ensure data quality and reliability.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to define KPIs, metrics, and performance dashboards.
  • Assist in developing and maintaining ELT/ETL processes to ingest data into the data warehouse/lake.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to understand data needs and troubleshoot data issues.
  • Document processes, data definitions, and reporting logic for transparency and scalability.
  • Connect external systems to a data warehouse/lake instance (e.g. NetSuite, Shopify).
  • Ensure compliance with relevant regulations e.g. GDPR.
Key Skills:
  • Ability to prioritise tasks in order of importance and urgency.
  • Experience with working with a data warehouse/lake.
  • Experience building dashboards in tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or Sigma.
  • Proven ability to work with multiple data sources and systems.
  • Strong analytical thinking, with excellent attention to detail.
  • Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Keep up to date with the latest trends around data warehousing, especially AI/machine learning.
  • A strategic and analytical mindset considering the wider business impact in all tasks.
  • Excellent communicator with strong collaboration skills, fostering clear, effective teamwork across diverse groups.
Experience:
  • Experience with a fast moving eCommerce retail business is desirable but not essential.
  • Python or R experience for data analysis and automation is a plus.
  • Exposure to API‑based data extraction from systems like Shopify and SnapFulfil.
  • Experience in data handling and management of previous data platforms.
  • Experience with middleware is desirable but not essential.

How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Engineering Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, the first thing to understand is this: Hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it. They look for signals of relevance, credibility, delivery and collaboration — and if they don’t see the right signals quickly, your application may never get a second look. In data engineering, hiring managers are especially focused on whether you can build and operate reliable, scalable data systems, handle real-world data challenges and work effectively with analytics, BI, data science and engineering teams. This guide breaks down exactly what they look at first in your application — and how to shape your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out.

Education

The Skills Gap in Data Engineering Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data engineering has quietly become one of the most critical roles in the modern technology stack. While data science and AI often receive the spotlight, data engineers are the professionals who design, build and maintain the systems that make data usable at scale. Across the UK, demand for data engineers continues to rise. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, government, media and technology all report difficulty hiring candidates with the right skills. Salaries remain strong, and experienced professionals are in short supply. Yet despite this demand, many graduates with degrees in computer science, data science or related disciplines struggle to secure data engineering roles. The reason is not academic ability. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data engineering work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data engineering.
