Job Description:

We’re looking for a Development Practice Lead who can move seamlessly between architecture discussions, hands-on technical guidance, and coaching senior engineers. This isn’t a delivery or people-management focused role. It’s a technical leadership position across three specialist areas: Data Engineering (specifically modelling), Business Intelligence, Oracle E-Business Suite / ODBMS …and an eye on emerging AI-enabled Enterprise Architecture. You’ll be line-managing four Technical Leads and partnering with Principal Engineers on architectural direction, solution design, and capability growth across RI Tech. RI Tech is in the middle of modernising. We’ve built data vaults, now we’re simplifying, decoupling, and rebuilding around data-driven decision-making and composable architecture. You’ll help shape how we integrate data, analytics, and AI across the business - from Oracle to AWS to Snowflake.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead the ‘Development Practice’ on matters of Data, BI, and Enterprise Systems
  • driving ambition and suggesting logic-backed additions to roadmaps
  • Coach and mentor four tech leads while staying hands-on with architecture reviews and design decisions
  • Define and enforce technical standards across our data stack: Snowflake, Airflow, AWS, Business Objects, and Oracle
  • Collaborate with solution architects to evolve River Island’s enterprise data and integration strategy
  • Review solution proposals and spot anti-patterns in data flow, orchestration, and schema design
  • Shape best practice around observability (OpenTelemetry), metadata management, and data mesh principles

Requirements:

  • Led a data engineering or BI function and still enjoy getting your hands dirty in SQL or Python
  • Successfully – or not – put PoCs together to promote an idea
  • Designed or reviewed architecture diagrams for distributed data systems
  • Coached technical leads or principal engineers in delivery and design quality
  • Balanced pragmatic delivery with clean architecture and performance-minded decisions
  • Opinionated but curious, architecture-literate, and allergic to buzzword managers
What we offer:
  • Generous 50% staff discount
  • Bargain staff shop on site
  • Reducing Islanders everyday expenses through discounts, benefits, financial advice, wellbeing solutions and more through the Retail Trust
  • Free onsite gym
  • Subsidised restaurant & café
  • Various social events
  • Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption & fertility treatment
  • Flexible working
  • Payday and summer early finish Fridays
  • Give as you earn scheme
  • A ‘Giver Island’ day each year and receive matched funding
  • Support with upskilling through on the job training and qualifications
  • A succession plan if you want to progress
  • A generous bonus scheme
  • Private pension plan
  • The choice to opt in for healthcare through our provider AXA
  • 25 days paid holiday, exclusive of Bank Holidays
  • Option to purchase additional holiday twice a year
