Their work sits in security, financial crime and public safety, and the team is small enough that individual engineers have a visible impact.

The Role A hands-on role building and running production ETL and ELT pipelines that feed a leading entity resolution platform. You will cover ingestion, normalisation, data quality and ML data preparation, and deploy containerised workloads on AWS. There is an established infrastructure team, so this is not a heavy Dev Ops role. It suits an engineer who takes ownership of loosely defined problems and cares about getting the detail right.

Entity resolution, record linkage or fuzzy matching experience (Senzing a big plus) PySpark and workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow or Dagster Kubernetes, Terraform, or exposure to data science and NLP KYC, AML or fraud data background Why Apply?
