Job Description:

Head of Data Engineering – London (Hybrid) | Python, dbt, Airflow, AWS

We’re once again supporting a fast‑growing PropTech business as they enter a pivotal phase, transforming how data drives decisions across the entire organisation. They’re looking for a Head of Data Engineering to take the lead.

This isn’t just another leadership title. It’s an opportunity to design, build, and own a data platform from the ground up, shaping the company’s data strategy as it scales.

You’ll step into a hands‑on leadership role where you’ll:

  • Architect and evolve a modern data platform
  • Work closely with stakeholders to embed data into core business decisions
  • Build scalable pipelines and infrastructure using a cutting‑edge stack
  • Lay the foundations for a future data team (with hiring on the horizon)

You must be comfortable working across:

  • SQL & Python for data processing and transformation
  • DBT, Airflow, and Looker for modelling, orchestration, and visualisation
  • Cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred; GCP familiarity is a plus)
  • Data warehousing solutions like Snowflake or similar

Why this role stands out

  • High autonomy: real ownership, not just oversight
  • Early‑stage impact: shape how data is used across the business
  • Clear growth path: build and lead your own team

Location: Central London (hybrid – 3 days onsite)

Must be UK based (no sponsorship available)
