Senior Data Engineer | Python | Airbyte | Apache | BigQuery | EducationTech | Remote, London | £70k
Looking to help shape Data Strategy for a scaling Tech-for-Good business?
I'm partnered with a AI‑first data and analytics platform built for schools, multi‑academy trusts and education groups. Their technology connects fragmented school data - attendance, behaviour, wellbeing, assessment, SEND and unstructured documents - and uses a multi‑agent AI system to surface actionable insights for school leaders in seconds.
They are in a high‑growth phase, backed by Innovate UK funding, with a roadmap spanning predictive analytics, supplier intelligence, and international expansion. The team is mission‑driven, remote‑first, and growing quickly - every hire has very meaningful impact.
They are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to build and maintain the data infrastructure that underpins the entire platform.
