ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are looking for a mid-level Data Engineer with strong SQL skills to build and support reliable data products across OAG. You will join a back-end engineering team, quickly learning a complex aviation-data domain and turning detailed business rules into dependable data solutions. In Snowflake, SQL is organised in stored procedures, functions and views over high-volume data, with the main calculations running in a wider C# processing platform. You will work closely with engineers, product, delivery and platform colleagues.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Write and maintain clear, accurate SQL in stored procedures, functions and views, including transformations of semi-structured JSON.
• Build and maintain reliable data pipelines, transformations and data models.
• Support and develop processes in Snowflake, learning platform-specific features as needed.
• Apply aviation-data concepts and business rules to turn requirements into practical solutions.
• Create automated data quality checks and monitoring, and investigate failed tasks and data issues.
• Improve query performance and resource use, with support from senior engineers where needed.
• Follow agreed security, testing and deployment practices, contribute to releases and keep documentation up to date.
• Work constructively with technical and non-technical colleagues, raising risks early.
  

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Strong practical SQL skills: joins, aggregation, CTEs, window functions and query troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience building and supporting production data solutions.
• A sound understanding of data pipelines, transformations, data quality and ELT patterns.
• The ability to investigate query performance and improve reliability and resource use.
• A practical understanding of access control, data security and handling sensitive data.
• Day-to-day experience with version control, code review and automated testing.
  
• The ability to learn a complex business domain quickly and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical colleagues.
• Openness to using AI in day-to-day software development, including AI-assisted programming, agentic workflows and AI-driven software development lifecycle (AISDLC) practices.

IF YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING THAT WOULD BE GREAT:

• Experience with aviation, travel technology or high-volume schedule data.
  
• Familiarity with Snowflake or another cloud data warehouse, or with AWS, Azure or Google Cloud integrations.
  
• Familiarity with C# or JavaScript as used in the wider platform and database procedures.
  
• Experience querying semi-structured data such as nested JSON.
  
• Familiarity with NoSQL databases (particularly Azure Cosmos DB) or tools such as dbt or Apache Airflow.
  
• If you don't meet every requirement but feel excited about this role, we'd still love to hear from you.
  

WE WILL OFFER YOU:

🚀 Real responsibility on hard problems, with the autonomy to own decisions and act on them, in an open culture built on trust

🏡 Flexible working arrangements that allow remote work or office attendance
