Primary Purpose & Scope

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will lead the design and build-out of drivvn’s data platform — the foundation that turns the activity flowing through our automotive e-commerce platform into trusted, reusable data products. This is a foundational role: you will shape the architecture, set the standards, and own the platform end to end as the data function grows around you.

Our data platform is built on Python and Apache Spark for processing, with data stored as Apache Iceberg tables on Azure Data Lake Storage. We use Trino as our distributed query engine and Metabase for BI, and we are introducing cube.dev as a semantic layer with first-class observability. While these are our current technologies, we remain pragmatic and open to adopting the best tools to achieve our goals.

drivvn provides a class-leading automotive e-commerce platform delivering over £2bn in online sales per annum, used by global OEMs to accelerate their direct-to-consumer business. The data you unlock will directly inform how those brands understand and improve the customer journey.
