Graduate Data Engineer

An established and tech focused company with over 20 years of industry success is looking for a bright and ambitious Graduate Data Engineer to join their growing team in Edinburgh (hybrid). If you're a recent STEM graduate with a curious mind and a passion for solving problems, this could be the perfect start to your career.

The Role:

You'll be joining a Data Engineering team of 12, where you'll get stuck into real projects from day one, no shadowing or sitting on the sidelines. Your role will focus on database development and support, but you'll also get involved in everything from assessing data quality and designing data pipelines, to reporting and helping shape technical delivery for major clients.

They'll invest heavily in your development with a mix of on the job learning and Microsoft certified training, setting you up with in demand technical skills and exposure to industry leading tools.

What You'll Need:

** A 2:1 or above in a STEM subject (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or similar)

** Solid problem solving skills and a technical mindset

** Great communication skills as you'll be working closely with your team and stakeholders

** An eagerness to learn and grow

** knowledge of databases or programming (not essential)

The team has recently shifted to focus entirely on technical delivery, with external partners handling the consulting which gives you room to really upskill as a Data Engineer. It's a flat structure where you'll learn directly from senior engineers.

The office has a really relaxed and sociable culture with regular BBQs and Friday pub lunches and there's even a pool table in the office (if that's your thing). This is a chance to join a really friendly and collaborative team where people genuinely enjoy working here (which their low staff turnover reflects).

The interview process is a pretty straight forward 2 stages. The first stage is made up of a 30 minute intro chat followed by a 1 hour numeracy based problem solving task. The final stage is a chat with the Managing Director and a chance to meet the team.

The office is right next to Haymarket station and tram stop (so it's super easy to get to), and the role is hybrid with 3 days a week in the office and offers a salary ranging from £25,000 to £30,000.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a graduate to kick off their career in a company that offers mentorship, variety, and a clear development path as a Data Engineer.
