Head of Data Engineering

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 now hiring a Head of Data Engineering to lead that transformation

This is a role with genuine ownership. You won’t inherit legacy systems or patchwork pipelines – you’ll design and build a modern data platform from scratch, set engineering standards, and define the long‑term data strategy as the company scales.

What you’ll take on

• Architect, deliver, and evolve a next‑generation data platform
• Partner with senior stakeholders to embed data into core commercial and operational decisions
• Build robust, scalable pipelines and cloud infrastructure using a modern engineering stack
• Establish the foundations for a future data function, with hiring planned as the platform matures

Core technical environment

• SQL & Python for processing, transformation, and automation
• dbt, Airflow, Looker for modelling, orchestration, and analytics
• AWS as the primary cloud environment (GCP exposure beneficial)
• Snowflake or equivalent warehousing technologies

Why this role is different

• High autonomy: You’ll own the platform, the roadmap, and the engineering direction
• Early‑stage influence: Shape how data is used across the entire organisation
• Clear progression: Build and lead your own team as the function scales
