About the Role
We are looking for a Data Analytics Engineer who sits at the intersection of data engineering and analytics. In this role, you will transform raw, messy data from vehicles, APIs, and operational systems into clean, reliable datasets that are trusted and widely used-from engineering teams to executive leadership.
You will own data pipelines end to end and build dashboards that surface insights, track performance, and help teams quickly identify issues.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain ETL pipelines that ingest data from diverse internal systems into a centralized analytics warehouse
- Work with unique and high-volume datasets, including vehicle telemetry, sensor-derived signals, logistics data, and system test results
- Write efficient, well-structured SQL to model and prepare data for analysis and reporting
- Design, build, and maintain dashboards (e.g., Grafana or similar) used to monitor system performance and operational health
- Partner closely with engineering, operations, and leadership teams to understand data needs and deliver actionable datasets
- Explore internal AI- and LLM-based tools to automate analysis and uncover new insights
What You’ll Need
- Strong hands-on experience with Python and data libraries such as pandas, Polars, or similar
- Advanced SQL skills, including complex joins, window functions, and query optimization
- Proven experience building and operating ETL pipelines using modern data tooling
- Experience with BI and visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, Tableau, Looker)
- Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect
- High-level understanding of LLMs and interest in applying them to data and analytics workflows
- Strong ownership mindset and commitment to data quality and reliability
Nice to Have
- Experience with ClickHouse or other analytical databases (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift)
- Background working with vehicle, sensor, or logistics data
- Prior experience in autonomous systems, robotics, or other data-intensive hardware-driven domains

What You’ll Do
- Own and evolve the metrics platform, including schemas, storage layouts optimized for high-volume writes and fast analytical reads, and clear versioning strategies
- Build and maintain a framework for writing and running metrics, including interfaces, examples, local execution, and CI compatibility checks
- Design and implement testing systems for metrics and pipelines, including unit, contract, and regression tests using synthetic and sampled data
- Operate compute and storage systems in production, with responsibility for monitoring, debugging, stability, and cost awareness
- Partner with metric authors and stakeholders across development, analytics, and QA to plan changes and roll them out safely
What You’ll Need
- Strong experience using Python in production, including asynchronous programming (e.g., asyncio, aiohttp, FastAPI)
- Advanced SQL skills, including complex joins, window functions, CTEs, and query optimization through execution plan analysis
- Solid understanding of data structures and algorithms, with the ability to make informed performance trade-offs
- Experience with databases, especially PostgreSQL (required); experience with ClickHouse is a strong plus
- Understanding of OLTP vs. OLAP trade-offs and how schema and storage decisions affect performance
- Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow (used today), Prefect, Argo, or Dagster
- Familiarity with data libraries and validation frameworks (NumPy, pandas, Pydantic, or equivalents)
- Experience building web services (FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar)
- Comfort working with containers and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes
- Experience working with large-scale datasets and data-intensive systems
Nice to Have

Candidate – Senior Data Engineer
I've been a Senior Data Engineer for about 4-5 years and Harnham is one of the best recruitment agencies I worked with. There was a time when my offer fell through and the recruiter I was working with at Harnham jumped in to the rescue and scheduled interviews for me within a couple of days. Really good agency and some great people.
