About the role and team:

We're looking for an experienced Lead Data Engineer to join our growing Data Practice, specialising in iGaming. You'll work as part of a multidisciplinary team delivering data solutions for some of the world's largest betting and gaming operators &mdash; organisations processing millions of events per day across sportsbook, casino, and exchange platforms.

This is a role for someone who understands the pressures of the iGaming data landscape: sub-second odds feeds, high-stakes data integrity requirements, complex regulatory reporting, and large-scale platform migrations from legacy on-premises estates to cloud-native architectures on AWS.

As a Lead, you'll shape technical direction, mentor engineers, and act as a trusted partner to client data and engineering teams. 

<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
What you'll be doing</h1>
<ul><li>Leading large-scale data migrations from on-premises or legacy platforms to cloud-native architectures on AWS &mdash; including Lakehouse designs using Databricks or Snowflake</li>
<li>Designing and building low-latency data pipelines that process real-time betting events, odds updates, and market data at high throughput</li>
<li>Implementing robust data integrity controls &mdash; validation, reconciliation, and auditability &mdash; across betting, trading, and customer data domains</li>
<li>Architecting streaming and micro-batch solutions using AWS Kinesis, Apache Kafka, or MSK for real-time sportsbook and in-play data feeds</li>
<li>Working with AWS platform services including S3, Glue, Lambda, Athena, Redshift, Lake Formation, Step Functions, and MWAA</li>
<li>Supporting regulatory and compliance reporting &mdash; ensuring data pipelines meet the auditability and lineage requirements of the UK Gambling Commission and international regulators</li>
<li>Leading and mentoring a team of data engineers, setting standards for code quality, testing, and documentation</li>
<li>Contributing to technical proposals, pre-sales scoping, and architecture reviews with iGaming clients</li></ul> 

<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
We'd love to talk to you if...</h1>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">You know the iGaming data landscape</h2>
<ul><li>You've worked in or closely with sportsbook, exchange, or casino platforms &mdash; and understand the data models behind markets, selections, bets, and settlements</li>
<li>You've built or maintained low-latency data feeds &mdash; odds ingestion, in-play event streams, price change feeds &mdash; where milliseconds matter</li>
<li>You understand the data integrity challenges specific to betting: reconciliation between trading and settlement systems, detection of data drift, and auditability for regulatory purposes</li>
<li>You've delivered or contributed to large-scale data migrations &mdash; moving high-volume transactional or event data from legacy estates to the cloud without losing fidelity or uptime</li></ul> 

<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
You're strong on AWS data engineering</h2>
<ul><li>AWS is your primary cloud &mdash; you're confident across Glue, Lambda, Athena, S3, Redshift, RDS, Kinesis, MSK, and Step Functions</li>
<li>You've built real-time or near-real-time pipelines using streaming frameworks &mdash; Kinesis Data Streams, Kafka, Flink, or Spark Streaming</li>
<li>You understand AWS cost models and how to optimise high-throughput workloads &mdash; Spot compute, reserved capacity, and right-sizing for event-driven architectures</li>
<li>AWS certifications are a bonus &mdash; Solutions Architect or Data Analytics Specialty</li></ul> 

<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
You know your tools</h2>
<ul><li>Solid experience with Python, SQL, and Spark &mdash; and pipeline tools such as dbt or Airflow</li>
<li>Comfortable with data quality frameworks and testing &mdash; Great Expectations, dbt tests, or custom validation layers</li>
<li>Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS CDK) is a plus</li>
<li>Familiar with broader cloud platforms &mdash; Azure (Data Factory, Synapse) or GCP (Dataflow, BigQuery) &mdash; is beneficial but not essential</li></ul> 

<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
You thrive in a consultancy setting</h2>
<ul><li>You've led or mentored data engineers and are comfortable owning technical direction on a complex engagement</li>
<li>You can navigate the politics of a large operator &mdash; multiple teams, competing priorities, and legacy systems that can't just be switched off</li>
<li>You balance hands-on delivery with client engagement, and know when to push back on scope and when to be pragmatic</li></ul>
