Senior Data Engineer (Aberdeen-based)

What you tell your friends you do

“As a senior data engineer, I help build the data platform on which our product sits ”

What you will really be doing

🚀 Continuously improve the streamlined pipeline for contextualizing, validating and ingesting the customer data that drives our SaaS product (and working to integrate the data into a stable and extensible pipeline).

🎉 Work with the product teams to help them understand how they can use available data for building new user experiences.

💡 Learn from domain experts on real world engineering data and use this knowledge to create data quality analyses that builds confidence in our customers.

🛠 Identify opportunities for and creating self-service tools that make data onboarding easier.

How you will be doing this

You will be a part of an agile and multidisciplinary team, bringing your own unique skill set to the table and collaborating with kind colleagues to accomplish your goals. You prioritize your work with the team and its product owner, weighing both the business and technical value of each task.

You don’t do things just because they were always done that way. You don’t ignore the lessons learned, however – even those learned by others. There’s no template for what we do. Your tools will be familiar, but as an Aizer you’ll be doing lots of firsts. So you need a data engineer’s brain and the heart of an explorer.

Where you will be doing this

You are expected to be located in Aberdeen, Scotland as we continue to build our teams. Thanks to our flexible working approach though you can blend work and leisure, essentially having a “workation.” Consider it a hybrid role😉 Escape to the breathtaking Scottish Highlands and Islands for a weekend, unwind and catch some rays on a European beach, or fly off to see your folks in your home country. Amid all the bustling and hustling, remember to spend quality time with your loved ones! While we support your preferred work style, be sure to harmonize & integrate that with the needs of your team and colleagues while keeping your main hub in Aberdeen.
