The Opportunity ✨
We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to take a leading role in the development of our Member Data Product, the hub for all member data within IAG Loyalty. You’ll be at the forefront of delivering critical reports and datasets that drive business performance and enable our partners—British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia, and Vueling—to serve millions of loyalty program members. This is a high-impact role with the chance to shape the future of our data capabilities.
What you’ll get up to 🌠
As a Senior Data Engineer, you will play a key role within the data product team to design and build out new data features in the core data product. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including analysts, data modellers and engineers, to design, develop, and deliver a robust and scalable data product, aligning technical efforts with business goals. You will support the Tech Lead providing technical guidance to the data product team, you will ensure the successful execution of the roadmap by driving the implementation of data pipelines, data processing algorithms, and analytics frameworks. Additionally, you will oversee testing, quality assurance, and deployment processes to ensure the reliability and performance of the data product. By adopting and enforcing coding standards, architectural principles, and development best practices, you will maintain a high-quality, maintainable, and efficient codebase.
You will play a support role in creating a culture of innovation, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing within the team. You will encourage and promote an inclusive environment that values new ideas, encourages experimentation, and supports ongoing growth and development. In addition to providing guidance and frameworks to data engineers and analysts, you will offer technical guidance, coaching, and performance feedback to help them excel in their roles.
What we need from you 💡
- Data Product Delivery: Experience bringing data features to market, making data-driven decisions.
- Team Leadership: Proven ability to lead diverse teams of engineers and analysts.
- Data Knowledge: Strong understanding of business data models, data flows, and governance principles.
- Technical Skills: Familiar with data architecture and warehousing.
- Tool Proficiency: Skilled in Snowflake, Tableau/Quicksight, and AWS Data tools (Glue, Lambda, S3, etc.).
- Communication: Excellent at engaging technical and business stakeholders.
- Documentation: Skilled at creating clear technical documentation.
- Problem Solver: Strong analytical skills to tackle data challenges.
- Team Builder: Experience managing onshore and offshore teams.
- Agile Mindset: Comfortable with Agile methods and fast iteration.
The role has a blended base, between our Central London office and home. We trust you to make the right decision about the type of work that is best done in each location. We expect you’ll achieve a 50/50 split between the two and there may be times where you’ll want to visit our other locations to tell their stories, too (fully reimbursed).
We might not be right for you if:
- You only want to focus on your to-do list; we’re a small, high-performing team, we help each other to succeed.
- You value perfection over fast iteration and progress; IAG Loyalty moves fast, we learn and iterate as we go; our environment isn’t right for everyone.
- You’re looking to create but not build; this is an end-to-end role, you need to be comfortable owning your space, from ideation through to delivery and review.
If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please do still apply. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.
