This hybrid, 12 month FTC, offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your local office at least 2 days a week.

As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!

Joining us as a Data Engineer

Working with the Network Architect you'll help to define reporting and analytical needs for meeting network capacity demands.

This will ensure the solution supports scenario planning, data scalability, and system integration.

You’ll receive a salary of up to £50,000, a performance related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

This is some of what you can expect to be doing:

  • Design, develop, and optimise data pipelines using Python for accurate and efficient data processing

  • Integrate with APIs to retrieve and upload data, ensuring data integrity and handling any API-related issues

  • Use GIT for version control to manage changes and collaborate with team members

  • Ensure data availability, quality, and security across systems, and troubleshoot pipeline issues

  • Collaborate with departments to meet data needs and maintain clear documentation for all processes

    What you’ll bring to the role

    With a BSC level qualification in Data Science or IT-related area, you’ll also:

  • Be proficient in Python, with experience in data libraries like Pandas and NumPy

  • Be skilled in working with RESTful APIs, including data retrieval, authentication, and error handling

  • Have strong experience with GIT version control, including branching, merging, and collaboration

  • Have excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills for data engineering challenges

    What you can expect from us

    We want to offer you all the support you need to thrive inside and outside of work. This means giving you the tools to grow your career with us, as well as a comprehensive benefits package that you can adapt to your lifestyle.
