Data Engineer
Abound, London
The role
As a Data Engineer within the Platform team, you will play a critical role in maturing and optimizing our Data Lake. Acting as a key bridge between Platform and Data Science, you will take ownership of the infrastructure and pipelines that power data-driven decision-making across the business. This is an Individual Contributor (IC) role with high impact and autonomy.
In your first 6–12 months, your primary focus will be to evolve the Data Lake into a scalable, high-performance foundation for analytics and data science. You will migrate key production workloads- such as model calibration, ad-hoc analytics, and reporting- directly into the Data Lake, while redesigning data structures to improve query performance, reduce AWS costs, and ensure high data recency. You will also establish yourself as a trusted partner to the Data Science team, enabling faster experimentation and delivery through robust, well-designed data systems.
What you will do
- Own and evolve the Data Lake infrastructure and ETL pipelines from day one
- Migrate production workloads (e.g. model calibration, ad-hoc analytics, reporting) into the Data Lake
