We are looking for an enthusiastic, numerically minded individual with a strong interest in data and a creative approach to problem-solving. This role requires someone who is confident working independently, making technical decisions, raising engineering standards, and sharing knowledge with others. As part of a platform-focused team, you will also be expected to support the solutions you build and, where needed, take part in out-of-hours support. Working in an agile environment, you will need to be comfortable both independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, evolving setting. This calls for someone who can meet agreed deadlines, communicate clearly, and think innovatively.
