How'd you fancy modernising the archaic process of buying a house...?No more nipping to Post Office, sending off your printed bank statements – and no more chasing Solicitors every day, looking for an update!Well, you'd be part of a team on the outskirts of Oxford, who are doing just that.They've spent the last few years building their data infrastructure from scratch, leaning on a modern tech stack (no legacy to worry about) – with everything hosted on Azure.But as they're continuing to grow, they want to take it to the next level – in terms of reliability and stability – with a longer-term view of establishing a larger data mesh.This is where you'd come in.Your focus initially, will be data processing in PySpark (on Databricks), managing ingestion pipelines and DataOps/DevOps.Their Data team is only small (currently one other Engineer) – so you'll have a real chance to put your own stamp on things, bringing new ideas to the table and shape their Data roadmap moving forward.So, what are they looking for?Well, you'll need to show you're a strong coder (Python/PySpark), who always has an eye on automating processes.Somebody who can showcase their experience with Kubernetes, IaaC and Terraform.It'd also be handy if you're familiar with Databricks, and if you've come from an Azure background.Salary wise, they'll pay anywhere from £70,000-£82,000 DOE.You'd get a pretty decent package too, covering a generous holiday allowance, private medical insurance, flexible hours to fit in with your work/life balance, volunteering days to spend with a charity/cause you're passionate about, share incentive schemes and plenty of other perks/discounts.You'll get to work from home for the majority too, heading into Oxford probably once a month or so.
It's likely less, but I'm telling you the worst case.If the role looks of interest, get in touch with Jack Leeming @ Optima Dev for a chat.You need to be UK-based.
