The Data Engineer will leverage experience in cloud platforms, big data tools, and modern development practices to enable data-driven decision-making and operational excellence across the organization.

Principal responsibilities

Drive adoption and time-to-value

• Embed with engineering teams to understand their workflows, identify where AI tooling aligned to standardised patterns and platforms add leverage, and guide them from initial setup to confident daily use.

• Design and deliver structured enablement projects — workshops, office hours, self-serve guides — tailored to different engineering personas (backend, frontend, platform, and testing).

• Drive adoption aligned to metrics, ensuring teams move from passive licence holders to active, high-value engineers delivering value back to the business.

Act as a hands-on technical partner

• Write real code alongside customer teams to demonstrate AI-assisted development patterns in context — not just in demos.

• Diagnose and resolve blockers to adoption — whether technical, cultural, or workflow-related.

• Translate early adopter learnings into repeatable playbooks that scale adoption across the organisation.

• Help teams adopt AI tooling and standardise existing developer workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and control standards.

• Serve as the voice of the developer back to the platforms team — bringing structured

• insight about where tooling falls short, what features would unlock the next level of

• value, and what's creating unnecessary friction.

• Collaborate with product managers and engineers on the platform team to prioritise

improvements with the greatest customer impact.

Require 6-10 years of experience

Requirements (Skills)

• 6–10 years in software engineering, developer experience, platform engineering, or a directly adjacent technical role.

• Demonstrated experience with AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) in a professional and productionised context — not just experimentation.

• Track record of working across organisational boundaries — either as an internal consultant, DevEx engineer, or technical lead embedded in multiple teams.

• Experience designing and running enablement programmes or technical training for engineering audiences.

• Fluency with modern development workflows: version control, CI/CD, IDEs, code review processes.

• Ability to assess a team's existing toolchain and make pragmatic recommendations rather than prescriptive ones.

• Excellent communicator — able to translate technical concepts for varied audiences, from individual contributors to engineering directors.

• Naturally curious and self-directed: you proactively identify opportunities rather than waiting to be pointed at problems.

Comfortable with ambiguity and able to create structure where it doesn't yet exist.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Cloud architecture certification (e.g. Google Cloud Professional Engineer or AWS Certified Solutions Architect)

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes and other container orchestration tools.

• Familiarity with modern build and automation tools such as Webpack, Babel etc.

• Knowledge on security best practices and performance optimization technique.
