About the role

We're on a mission to make affordable loans available to more people. Using the power of Open Banking, we have built state-of-the-art technology that allows us to look beyond traditional credit scores and offer fairer credit to people ignored by traditional lenders.

We have two parts of our business. On the consumer side, we have Abound. Abound has proven that our approach works at scale, with over £300 million lent to-date. While other lenders only look at your credit score, we use Open Banking to look at the full picture - what you earn, how you spend, and what's left at the end.

On the B2B side, we have Render. Render is our award-winning software-as-a-service platform that allows Abound to make better, less risky lending decisions. And less risky decisions mean we can offer customers better rates than they can usually find elsewhere. We're taking Render global so that more companies, from high-street banks to other fintechs, can offer affordable credit to their customers.

We are looking for a highly motivated Data Engineer to be a key part in the deployment and maintenance of our data infrastructure, as we try to break the traditional consumer lending models. The ideal candidate will have experience in building and maintaining ETL pipelines and data warehouses.

Proficiency in Git for version control

Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

Effective communication and collaboration skills, especially with data scientists and analysts

Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure)

Knowledge of data modelling, data governance, and data quality best practices

What you'll be doing:

ETL Pipeline Development:

Design, build, and maintain efficient and reliable ETL pipelines to extract, transform, and load data into our data warehouse.

Collaboration:

Work closely with data scientists, analysts, and other stakeholders to understand data requirements and ensure the availability and quality of data.
