Why join Smoove?
Great question! We pride ourselves on attracting, developing and retaining a diverse range of people in an equally diverse range of roles and specialisms – who together achieve outstanding results. Our transparent approach and open-door policy make Smoove a great place to work and as our business expands, we are looking for ambitious, talented people to join us.
We are looking for a technically proficient Senior Data Engineer to join our growing Data team.
Your primary focus will be on ensuring data quality, stability, and reliability — from the moment data arrives in its rawest form to when it is used in decision-making dashboards and customer-facing reports.
You will optimise the transformation pipeline from start to finish, guaranteeing that datasets are robust, tested, secure, and business-ready.
Our data platform is built using Databricks, with data pipelines written in PySpark and orchestrated using Airflow. You will be expected to challenge and improve current transformations, ensuring they meet our performance, scalability, and data governance needs.
This includes work with complex, nested data structures, ensuring they are reliably parsed and transformed. Experience in managing sensitive data (PII) and implementing GDPR policies is required.
You’ll work closely with analysts, engineers, and business stakeholders to ensure that datasets are not only accurate but also trusted.
You will collaborate with product and engineering teams to incorporate data from new products into our core business datasets, ensuring that these new sources meet our data standards and are quickly usable for business intelligence.
You’ll help put controls in place — such as access policies, metadata layers, and automated data quality checks — to ensure long-term stability. Experience with a data governance platform like Alation is desirable.
While predominantly remote / home based the team meet up to 20-25 days per year for meaningful collaboration in either Leeds or Thame.

Proven experience working with Airflow for orchestration
Proven track record in managing and securing PII data, with GDPR compliance in mind
