About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential digital marketing organization seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join their growing Technology team in London on a hybrid basis. Our client connects global brands with high-intent consumers through data-driven performance marketing, and they need an experienced engineer to help design and build a robust, scalable, real-time data backbone.

In this role, you'll take a leading hand in designing, developing, and implementing data infrastructure that supports real-time processing and analytics. You'll work closely with teams across the business to ensure their data systems meet growing demands, leveraging modern technologies for efficient ingestion, storage, and analysis.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines and infrastructure that power real-time analytics and reporting
• Take ownership of the semantic layer using Cube.js, enabling reliable, self-serve analytics across the organization
• Integrate and unify data from Salesforce, CDP, and Single Customer View sources, ensuring clean, consistent data flow across marketing and customer data platforms
• Lead the development of transformation workflows using dbt, with strong emphasis on testing, documentation, and data quality
• Architect and manage pipeline orchestration via Apache Airflow, ensuring reliability and observability at every stage
• Monitor and optimize pipeline performance for low-latency, high-throughput use cases
• Collaborate closely with Data Architects, marketing analysts, and business stakeholders to ensure data infrastructure directly supports business objectives
• Mentor and support more junior engineers, helping to raise the bar across the team

What We're Looking For

• Significant hands-on experience in data engineering, with a proven track record of leading and delivering complex data initiatives end to end
• Strong understanding of semantic layers such as Cube.js—you've built and maintained semantic layers and understand pre-aggregations, caching strategies, and multi-tenancy
• Strong experience integrating Salesforce Marketing Cloud, CDP, and Single Customer View data—you understand the nuances of customer and marketing data at scale
• Expert-level SQL and proven experience building robust transformation pipelines with dbt
• Solid experience orchestrating workflows with Apache Airflow in production environments
• Comfortable working across cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) for data ingestion, storage, and processing
• Proficiency in Python or a similar language for pipeline development and automation
• Strong data modelling instincts—you think carefully about how data is structured, named, and consumed downstream
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Calm and focused in a fast-moving environment—you can prioritize well and bring others along with you
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
• You lead by example, care about the team's success, and leave things better than you found them
