• Line management of the data engineers. Including running engineering sprints, retrospectives and incident reviews.
• Technical oversight of Data Engineering’s stack. You’re responsible for data governance and integrity; setting development standards, practices and processes; ensuring stack availability and robustness; driving performance improvements (e.g., upgrades and migrations); and management of technical debt. 
• Supporting the work of the Data Science and Reporting teams. Including providing custom data transformations to support their use cases.
• Collaboration with other Technology departments on cross-company projects. 

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Management experience of data or software engineers, including strong communication skills.
• Understanding of and experience with the full software development lifecycle.
• Experience following software engineering best practices to develop and deploy applications written in Python.
• Experience with the following technologies or some equivalent: Terraform, Git, GitLab (including CI/CD pipelines), GCP (particularly GKE, Firestore, BigQuery), Kafka and MongoDB and Airflow.
• Ability to design and build complex data models. Knowledge of querying data and building pipelines with SQL (ideally in BigQuery or similar database engines) and other tools, including working with very large data volumes. 
• Proactive, independent, responsible and attentive to detail.
• Eager and able to learn, analyse, resolve problems, and improve the standard of BVGroup data infrastructure.
