Reasoning

Why it fits

  • Candidate is currently a Head of Data with strong data engineering and architecture experience.
  • Candidate has extensive skills with Snowflake, AWS, dbt, and data modelling relevant to the job.
  • Candidate has leadership experience mentoring engineers, aligning with the senior role requirements.
  • Candidate is located in London and open to hybrid and on-site work, matching the job location and work mode.
  • Candidate's experience with data pipelines and orchestration tools overlaps well with job tasks.

Watch-outs

  • Job is a Senior Data Engineer role, which is a lower seniority level than the candidate's current Head of Data position.
  • Candidate's current role focuses more on strategic leadership and data product management than hands-on engineering.
  • Job requires specific experience with Kafka, Airflow, and data quality tools which are only partially evidenced in candidate's profile.
  • Job requires hybrid work specifically in Shoreditch, candidate's location is London generally, so practical fit is moderate.
