  • Located in London and open to hybrid and on-site work, matching the job's location and work mode requirements.

  • The job demands specific tools and skills like AWS, Airflow, dbt, Kafka, and Snowflake, which the candidate has limited or no direct experience with.
  • The job focuses on batch and streaming data pipelines and orchestration on AWS, whereas the candidate's experience is primarily on GCP and Databricks, showing a platform mismatch.
  • The job's salary range starts at £85,000, but the candidate's current compensation is unknown, so fit on pay cannot be confirmed.
