As a Senior Data Engineer with Qodea, you'll be involved in projects to design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and infrastructure that enable the efficient processing and analysis of large, complex data sets.

You'd join a highly collaborative, creative and supportive team working to deliver solutions that surpass our customers expectations, enabling them to utilise cutting-edge tools and technologies to derive value and insights from their data.

We're a dedicated Google Cloud Partner, which means that you'd be working on projects involving GCP services. Previous experience of GCP is not essential, but we'd expect you to have experience of one of the major public cloud providers (AWS, Azure or GCP).

This would be a primarily remote-based role, but if you live close to one of our offices and you'd prefer some office work then that's fine too. We also have a 'Work from Anywhere' policy giving you the option to work overseas for up to 3 months of the year.

If you have an interest in working on innovative projects with cutting edge technology using Google Cloud Platform, this job could be a great opportunity for you.

• A track record of being involved in a wide range of projects with various tools and technologies, and solving a broad range of problems using your technical skills
• Demonstrable experience of utilising strong communication and stakeholder management skills when engaging with customers
