Help build the platform at the heart of Retail Insight's data strategy

We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our Data & Engineering team and play a key role in the development and evolution of our Databricks platform.

This is a senior, hands-on engineering role where you'll design, build and optimise the data platform that powers our products and services. Working alongside Platform, Data and Product teams, you'll help deliver scalable, secure and high-performing data solutions that enable analytics, machine learning and AI across the business.

If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges, working with modern cloud technologies and building robust data platforms at scale, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Design, build and enhance our Databricks platform, ensuring it remains secure, scalable and reliable.
• Develop and maintain batch and real-time data pipelines using Databricks, Spark and Delta Lake.
• Contribute to platform architecture, engineering standards and best practices across the data estate.
• Collaborate with Product, Analytics and Data Science teams to deliver solutions that solve real business problems.
• Support platform operations, monitoring and optimisation to ensure high levels of performance and reliability.
• Share knowledge with colleagues and help drive continuous improvement across the engineering team.

Our ideal candidate

• Proven experience building and supporting scalable, production-grade data platforms.
• Strong hands-on expertise with Databricks, Spark, Delta Lake, Python and SQL.
• Good understanding of cloud-based data engineering, ideally within Azure environments.
• Experience working with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Bicep or similar.
• Solid understanding of data modelling, ETL/ELT processes, data quality, security and governance.
• Comfortable working with technical and non-technical stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.

Even better if you have

• Databricks certifications.
• Experience with Unity Catalog, MLflow or Databricks Asset Bundles.
• Familiarity with dbt or similar data transformation frameworks.
• Exposure to Kafka, Event Hubs or other streaming technologies.
• Experience working with retail or consumer packaged goods data, including point-of-sale, inventory or supply-chain datasets.
• A degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

Don't tick every box? That's okay. If the role sounds exciting and you think you could bring something to the team, we'd still love to hear from you.
