Data Engineer IV Drive

About the Role

As a Senior Data Engineer you’ll be a core part of our engineering team. You will bring your valuable experience and knowledge, improving the technical quality of our data-focused products. This is a key role in helping us become more mature, deliver innovative new products and unlock further business growth.

This role will be part of a newly formed team that will collaborate alongside data team members based in Ireland, USA and India. Following the successful delivery of some fantastic products in 2024, we have embarked upon a data-driven strategy in 2025. We have a huge amount of data and are keen to accelerate unlocking its value to delight our customers and colleagues.  You will be tasked with delivering new data pipelines, actionable insights in automated ways and enabling innovative new product features.

Reporting to our Team Lead, you will be collaborating with the engineering and business teams. You’ll work across all our brands, helping to shape their future direction. Working as part of a team, you will help shape the technical design of our platforms and solve complicated problems in elegant ways that are robust, scalable, and secure.

We don’t get everything right first time, but you will help us reflect, adjust and be better next time around. We are looking for people who are inquisitive, confident exploring unfamiliar problems, and have a passion for learning. We don’t have all the answers and don’t expect you to know everything either.

Our team culture is open, inclusive, and collaborative – we tackle goals together. Seeking the best solution to a problem, we actively welcome ideas and opinions from everyone in the team.

Our Technologies

We are continuously evolving our products and exploring new opportunities. We are focused on selecting the right technologies to solve the problem at hand. We know the technologies we’ll be using in 3 years’ time will probably be quite different to what we’re using today. You’ll be a key contributor to evolving our tech stack over time.

Our data pipelines are currently based upon Google BigQuery, FiveTran and DBT Cloud. These involve advanced SQL alongside Python in a variety of areas. We don’t need you to be an expert with these technologies, but it will help if you’re strong with something similar.

Your Skills and Experience

This is an important role for us as we scale up the team and we are looking for someone who has existing experience at this level. You will have worked with data driven platforms that involve some kind of transaction, such as eCommerce, trading platforms or advertising lead generation.

Your broad experience and knowledge of data engineering methods mean you’re able to build high quality products regardless of the language used – solutions that avoid common pitfalls impacting the platform’s technical performance. You can apply automated approaches for tracking and measuring quality throughout the whole lifecycle, through to the production environments.

You are comfortable working with complex and varied problems. As a strong communicator, you work well with product owners and business stakeholders. You’re able to influence and persuade others by listening to their views, explaining your own thoughts, and working to achieve agreement.

We have many automotive industry experts within our team already and they are eager to teach you everything you need to know for this role. Any existing industry knowledge is a bonus but is not necessary.

This is a full-time role based in our India office on a semi-flexible basis. Our engineering team is globally distributed but we’d like you to be accessible to the office for ad-hoc meetings and workshops.
