We are working on building the next $100M revenue Fintech company (founded in Europe)

 

To do this, we know we need the best product in the world and that means we are obsessed by bringing together the most talented team possible; with erse experiences, backgrounds and skills.

We have a variety of backgrounds in our team, from people who joined us with zero experience (through the Code Academy - read more here) to those who have spent lots of time in huge companies with bags of experience.

We are focused on delivering world class software products that deliver true value. With 1000’s of enterprise customers like Expedia, Chubb, XPO – we must be doing something right. But the journey is just beginning… we have 100k users on our platform every month and handle more than $2 trillion of invoice transactions.

At approx. $35M revenue today and with about 250 Sidetraders worldwide, we are not an early-stage start-up, but with ambitious plans for growth, we are at an exciting time in our story; and need the right talent to help us achieve our goals.

How our teams are structured

We have three Tech Hubs at Sidetrade, one in Birmingham (UK), one in Paris (France) and one in Calgary (Canada). We work in small, autonomous teams mixed with highly skilled engineers, usually up to a maximum of 7. Each team (or Squad) has a Product Manager, Technical Lead, a mix of engineers and dedicated QA.

Each Squad has the autonomy to decide how they work best, within a basic Agile framework and work on strategic, customer-focused projects that deliver huge value.

Guilds

As well as our day-to-day teams who focus on product delivery, we also have what we call Guilds. These Guilds or groups of like-minded engineers, focus on specific technologies to focus/harness passion on deep technical expertise as well as following latest market trends. Anybody can join a guild – so either it’s your passion or you just want to learn something new.

We currently have 6 Guilds in our R&D department:

  • UI/UX – Focuses on how to build the best front-end framework using React to present the best customer experience (check our medium blog which received more than 300 claps here)
  • API’s & Gateway - Focuses on how evolve to Microservice architecture using .NET Core
  • Data Engineering – Focuses on how to build the best backend data pipelines to manage/move our data using Python, SQL & our event driven architecture over RabbitMQ.
  • Data Science – Focuses on how we can improve our AI assistant (Aimie) and maximise the huge amount of data that we sit on
  • SRE – Focuses on how we best deploy/manage all the infrastructure every single day using tools like Ansible & Azure DevOps
  • Test – Focuses on quality, how we improve quality & how we maintain quality using automated testing tools like Cypress

Challenges you will face:

  • Design and develop robust data pipelines. Data is at the heart of everything we do. The pipelines you build will power our analytics, machine learning and product features
  • Build tools and automation capabilities for data pipelines. The data we ingest and the appetite to consume it is ever increasing - and therefore so is the importance of making data integration more reliable and scalable
  • Extend our Data Warehouse and Data Lake to empower data-driven decisions
  • Help build a data-platform to democratize data – we want to create a single source of truth of all our data, which is open to and consumable by everyone at Sidetrade
  • Support implementation of secure design principles according to policies and standards of Information Security

You should apply if:

  • You have at least 3 years’ experience in Data Engineering
  • You have excellent knowledge of SQL and Python
  • You have a good understanding of relational and NoSQL databases (including data modelling, data warehousing)
  • You are experienced in developing and supporting robust, automated and reliable data pipelines (maybe using technologies such as Kafka, Airflow, Celery etc.)
  • You have knowledge of OWASP principles
  • You are familiar with Agile and DevOps frameworks
  • You have sound knowledge of data architecture, scalability and security/compliance

What we can offer you:

  • The chance to deliver features to huge B2B customers that have 1000’s of active users every day like Expedia, Chubb, XPO and many more.
  • The chance to work for a European hyper-growth European AI company with recent acquisition in US.
  • The chance to work in a hybrid-remote environment with the option to work from home and as well as our Birmingham Tech Hub, with regular travel opportunities (if you’d like).
  • The chance to work in a Guild of your choice with dedicated time available to work together on Guild-based tasks, like research, learning, mini hackathons etc.
  • Full access to content so that you can self-learn,
  • The opportunity to work remotely and onsite
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • A competitive salary with lots of room for progression
  • Healthcare plan (after probation)

If you have previous experience as a Data Engineer and are looking for the next step in your career, we would love to hear from you!
