We are looking for a Data Engineering Manager to help manage existing data resources, implement new technologies and tooling to further enable science and analytics, as well as help drive scalable data sharing practices. In this role you will split your time between hands on development and managerial activities.

 


What you'll do:

 

- Create and maintain an optimal data pipeline architecture focused upon network data, including real-time and batch data sources.
- Assemble large, complex data sets that meet functional and Non-Functional business requirements.
- Identify, design, and implement internal process improvements: automating manual processes, optimising data delivery, re-designing infrastructure for greater scalability, etc.
- Build the infrastructure required for optimal extraction, transformation, and loading of data from a wide variety of data sources using SQL and Cloud 'big data' technologies.
- Keep our data separated and secure through multiple data centres and regions.
- Create data tools for data scientist team members that assist them in building and optimizing into an innovative industry leader.

 


What you'll bring:

 

- Graduate degree BSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or similar. Strong communications skills.
- SQL knowledge and experience working with relational databases. Strong analytic skills related to working with structured and unstructured datasets.
- Proficient Python programmer.
- Ideally an awareness of network technologies and concepts or an insatiable desire to learn.
- Build processes supporting data transformation, data structures, metadata, dependency and workload management. A successful history of manipulating, processing and extracting value from large disconnected datasets.
- Experience with big data tools (e.g. Spark, Kafka), data pipeline and workflow management tools (e.g. Airflow) and GCP cloud services (e.g. Pub/Sub, Dataflow).

 


Team Overview:

 

UK Tech: Our team focuses on technology strategy, design and delivery. From AI to 5G to Cloud, we work on the latest tech whilst building out our web presence and CRM systems for fixed and mobile networks. We're bold, proactive, forward-thinking and collaborative. Together, we're proud of the products and services we deliver for our customers.

Recognised as an 'Inclusive Top 50 Employer' and a 'Times Top 50 Employer for Women', we're working hard to ensure we're a truly inclusive place to work. This means we don't just look at your CV. We're more focused on who you are and the potential you'll bring to Sky. We also know that everyone has a life outside work, so we're happy to discuss flexible working.
