About the Role

At [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] Group, we power some of the world’s most exciting environments – major sporting events, stadiums, and large-scale venues – through technology, data, and innovation. We’re looking for a Data Engineering Lead to join our EMEA team. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys building robust data platforms while guiding teams to deliver high-quality, production-ready solutions. You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and delivery, helping transform complex data requirements into scalable, reliable systems that drive real-world impact – whether that’s enhancing fan experiences, improving operations, or enabling smarter decisions. This is more than a technical role – it’s an opportunity to shape data as a product: trusted, reusable, and valuable across multiple stakeholders and use cases.

What You’ll Do

• Lead with impact: Own the design and delivery of modern data pipelines and platforms across batch and streaming environments. Stay close to the code – guiding architecture, solving complex problems, and supporting teams through delivery challenges.
• Build scalable data solutions: Design end-to-end data platforms across ingestion, transformation, storage, and serving layers. Define best practices for orchestration, modelling, monitoring, and data quality. Create reusable data products that support analytics, reporting, and AI use cases.
• Collaborate across teams: Work closely with product, architecture, analytics, and client stakeholders. Translate technical concepts into clear, actionable insights. Lead discussions that align engineering decisions with business outcomes.
• Drive quality and reliability: Champion best practices in testing, observability, governance, and performance. Embed security, privacy, and cost-awareness into solutions. Identify risks early and ensure consistent, high-quality delivery.
• Grow people and capability: Mentor engineers and elevate team performance. Promote strong engineering culture (CI/CD, code review, documentation). Contribute reusable frameworks and standards across the organisation.

What We Are Looking For

• 7+ years in data engineering or platform engineering roles
• Proven experience delivering modern data platforms in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Strong hands-on skills in SQL, data modelling, and software engineering practices
• Experience with tools like Spark, dbt, Airflow (or similar) and data warehouse/lakehouse architectures
• Solid understanding of data quality, lineage, observability, and performance optimisation
• Ability to lead technical delivery while staying close to implementation detail
• Comfortable working with distributed teams and client-facing environments
• Strong communication skills – able to bridge technical and non-technical audiences
• Nice to have: Experience in consulting, systems integration, or large-scale delivery environments

• Flexibility: Embrace a work-life balance with flexible hours and remote work opportunities.
• Impact: Your work directly transforms the venue experience for millions.
• Culture: Collaborate with a passionate team in a dynamic, innovative environment.
