Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us and inspires our data team to grow the NSPCC into a leading data-driven organisation at the forefront of preventing child abuse and neglect through the collective insights of our data.

The NSPCC is looking for an experienced data engineer to join the Technology and Data Directorate that manages all the technology across the NSPCC. As a senior data engineer, you'll be at the heart; building solutions to support the society's fundraising efforts as well as its front-line services. Join the Data Engineering team and help us develop our data capabilities to make a difference.

In this role, you, with the help of your colleagues, will develop products and tools to help the organisation answer the following questions:

- How can we better understand and help the people that use our services?

- How can we better engage and grow our supporter base?

- How can we make our existing processes better for our staff and volunteers?

- How can we use data and technology to improve our frontline services?

You'll sit in the Data and Analytics Hub working with data analysts, engineers, governance officers and scientists all working to make the NSPCC a leading data-driven organisation. In the role you'll draw from your professional background to design and deliver data products that benefit the rest of the society. You will be able to act as a senior technical expert in all aspects of delivery and provide mentorship to other data engineers in the department.

This is a fantastic opportunity for any established senior data engineers looking to make a difference, or for data engineers looking to take the next step in their career.

In this role you will:

• Design, write and iterate maintainable solutions from prototype to production with a solid understanding of clean development practices.
• Work with business stakeholders and non-technical people to produce robust solutions whilst tempering expectations.
• Leverage your knowledge to help other members of the Hub on their professional journeys, whilst staying up to date on emerging technologies that could benefit the entire society.

You will have:

• Experience as a data engineer, or a similar role, creating ETL/ELT pipelines, data automation and integration.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python and experience with designing and deploying cloud infrastructure, with Azure preferably.
• Knowledge of cloud development best practices including CI/CD and IaC.
• Knowledge of data warehousing concepts including architectures, infrastructure components, ETL/ELT, and reporting/analytics tools.
• A passion for data and technology and the ability to critically evaluate different solutions to problems.
• Initiative and think creatively to identify solutions to issues, and the tenacity to make those ideas happen.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Experience in mentoring and coaching peers and junior colleagues.

Join us and you'll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. And you'll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.

As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.

At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.

NSPCC is that the NSPCC highly embraces,

encourages and promotes diversity and

inclusiveness of staff.
