Staff Data Engineer

Overview

We are rebuilding the energy transaction, making it transparent and fair. Our goal is to put power back where it belongs, in the hands of customers and to take on one of the most critical problems of our century, access to low cost electricity.

Job Description

At tem, we’re not just building another energy company, we’re rearchitecting market infrastructure so that transparency, efficiency and sustainability become the default, not the exception.

Responsibilities

  • - Shape the technical direction across batch and streaming pipelines, setting the architecture others build to
  • - Set standards for pipeline design and data quality
  • - Lead design reviews and mentor other data engineers
  • - Build and maintain robust ETL/ELT pipelines
  • - Build systems optimised for high-ingestion, low-latency querying of time-series data (TSDS)
  • - Implement data quality frameworks with real teeth: SLAs, automated testing, lineage, and monitoring
  • - Identify and fix the bottlenecks that constrain us today
  • - Act as a multiplier: the people around you should get better because of how you approach problems

Required Skills

  • - Proven experience operating at staff level (ownership of systems, not just pipelines)
  • - Experience building and scaling modern data platforms
  • - Deep experience building and scaling production data platforms, including high-ingestion time-series workloads
  • - Strong hands-on ability in Python and modern data stack components (orchestration, warehousing, observability)
  • - Experience with cloud data infrastructure (AWS or GCP)
  • - Strong programming skills in Python, with experience building production-grade data systems
  • - Experience with modern data stack components (e.g. Orchestration: Airflow / Dagster; Warehousing: Snowflake / BigQuery / Redshift / ClickHouse; Streaming: Kafka / Flink)

Benefits

  • - Competitive salary - our current band for this role is £105,000 or equivalent in local currency.
  • - Stock Options - everyone on the team has ownership in our mission.
  • - 25 days holiday + public holidays - Swap public holidays for ones that matter most to you.
  • - Remote & flexible working - We're fully remote, distributed across Europe with clear core hours, and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons.
  • - Home working & wellbeing budgets: Up to £1,200 / €1,200 annually to upgrade your remote setup.
  • - Up to £150 / €150 monthly on anything that supports your wellbeing - from therapy to gym memberships to meditation apps.
