Success in our data team is about enabling better decisions, faster. At the core of this mission sits our data platform which enables powerful, real-time analytics that empower the wider business.

We’re looking for a Data Analytics Engineer to join our ambitious multi-disciplinary team.

Data integrations: take responsibility for managing data integration tools (Meroxa and Stitch).
Data operations: SLAs, data warehouse cost management, data quality monitoring, anomaly detection, and garbage collecting unused resources.
Stay on the cutting edge: we regularly do hack days! We believe in a culture of innovation in our day-to-day life. We experiment with new techniques, tools, and frameworks to keep Motorway at the leading edge of technology.

You have experience and a passion for Data Modelling, ETL projects and Big Data as a developer or analyst.
