About the role

Time Out is looking for a Data Engineer to join our Data Sciences and Services team.

You will develop and optimise highly available data pipelines that facilitate deeper analysis and reporting by the Data Team and stakeholders. These pipelines can consume data from multiple sources (ranging from transactional databases, 3rd party API’s, FTPs, etc), in order to populate the warehouses and databases with information from around the business and our partners. This data infrastructure is the foundation of the tools and analyses that support the insights and decision-making that drive our business, and is therefore critical to our success.
