We’re once again supporting a fast-growing PropTech business as they enter a pivotal phase, transforming how data drives decisions across the entire organisation. They’re looking for a Head of Data Engineering to take the lead.
This isn’t just another leadership title. It’s an opportunity to design, build, and own a data platform from the ground up, shaping the company’s data strategy as it scales
You’ll step into a hands-on leadership role where you’ll:
- Architect and evolve a modern data platform
- Work closely with stakeholders to embed data into core business decisions
- Build scalable pipelines and infrastructure using a cutting-edge stack
- Lay the foundations for a future data team (with hiring on the horizon)
You must be comfortable working across:
- SQL & Python for data processing and transformation
- DBT, Airflow, and Looker for modelling, orchestration, and visualisation
- Cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred; GCP familiarity is a plus)
- Data warehousing solutions like Snowflake or similar
Why this role stands out
- High autonomy: real ownership, not just oversight
- Early-stage impact: shape how data is used across the business
- Clear growth path: build and lead your own team
