Role Specifics

You will have the opportunity to design and build the data platform that enables the flexible and performant data oriented capabilities that our teams will need to build a delightful product.

You will be part of a small tech team (<10 to begin with) building the MVP of our product alongside our Data Science team.

Our team is building web-based user interfaces to multiple data products based on financial and accounting data from source through to myriad representations of the data: from board reports to statutory accounts, from forecasting to benchmarking.

You will be building a reliably scalable data platform which forms the backbone of our applications, as well as supports data science development.

1. We need a data platform to make all forms of data accessible to clients and to internal teams for different use cases, with the ability to rapidly surface any combination of data, for any time period.
2. The application needs to be designed from the ground up to cater for varying source schemas from 3rd party APIs.
3. A key requirement is a flexible data model that enables addition of new data sources and is robust to future use-cases, as we intend to maximise the value of collected data.
4. The data platform above all is a system of record for our customers, and accuracy is essential.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to decisions around architecture, toolset, cloud infrastructure, front end components, and internal/externally-facing APIs.
