Staff Data Engineer
Beamery, London, UK
The role
Our data platform powers Beamery’s reporting and underpins our AI strategy. We’re hiring a Staff Data Engineer to set its technical direction.
This is our most senior individual contributor role in data engineering. You’ll own the platform’s long-term architecture, make the calls that are expensive to reverse, and lead the work that follows. You’ll also partner with EPD leadership (Engineering, Product, and Design) on work that crosses team boundaries, and on keeping the platform aligned with company strategy. The platform exists so everyone at Beamery can make faster decisions with data they trust. The role suits someone energised by ambiguity who measures impact by what the organisation can do rather than what they personally shipped.
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING AT BEAMERY?
- Own the technical strategy for the data platform. Define the multi-quarter architectural vision, build the case for investment with EPD leadership, and sequence delivery incrementally rather than as a big-bang migration. You take on the work with no established playbook and turn it into designs the team can execute. Expect challenges around multi-tenant consistency, correctness at scale, performance ceilings, and data modelling for AI and agentic workloads.
