Lead Data Engineer

Data Idols are working with a highly data-driven organisation that's investing heavily in its cloud data platform and looking for a Lead Data Engineer to play a key role in that journey.

This position sits within a modern, evolving data function, focused on building scalable, high-performance data solutions on GCP, with BigQuery at the core. You'll have real influence over how the platform is shaped, setting technical standards, driving best practices, and ensuring everything is built to be robust, compliant, and future-proof.

It's a hands-on leadership role where you'll split your time between delivery and mentoring, guiding engineers while staying close to the tech. The environment is fast-paced and constantly evolving, making it ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex data challenges, influencing architecture, and working with large-scale, real-world datasets in a cloud-native ecosystem.

• Strong experience with GCP
• Deep hands-on expertise with Google BigQuery, including architecture, optimisation, and advanced SQL
• Ability to influence technical direction and support other engineers through leadership
