In this role, you’ll:

• Effectively communicate and act as a liaison between highly technical  and non-technical stakeholders, to translate business needs into engineering requirements.
• Deliver, and enable others to build, well-defined, transformed, tested, documented, and code-reviewed data sets. Due to the high quality of this data and the associated documentation, business users are able to self-serve, analyse, and build products and services upon it, getting reliable, consistent results.
• Proactively seek automation and optimisation opportunities to constantly improve and develop the transformation layer, and unify its usage across multiple teams.
• Train, upskill and support others in dbt and data modelling best practices, applying  software engineering practices to analytics code (version control, automated testing, continuous integration).

• Has experience setting up & developing dbt architecture using CI/CD practices (essential)
• Is highly proficient with SQL and data modelling best practices for optimising performance (essential)
• Has previously worked with visualisation tools such as Tableau or PowerBI (essential)

We’ll consider everyone who applies for this role in the same way, regardless of your ethnicity, colour, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, physical disability, neurodiversity status, family or parental status, or how long you’ve spent unemployed. We’re reimagining the property industry for everyone, so we want our team to represent people from all walks of life. We actively welcome your application if your demographics or background are underrepresented in the technology or property sectors.
