Who we’re looking for:

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Snowflake Platform team within our Data Platform group. You'll be responsible for developing and maintaining the systems and infrastructure that integrate Snowflake into our broader data ecosystem, ensuring our platform is maintainable and continues to technically evolve to meet our customers' needs.

As well as working on our internal Snowflake platform, you'll collaborate with the third parties we partner with to ensure the technical success of those projects and ensure they are aligned to our requirements.

Ideally, you’ll:

• Be able to work across multiple teams to solve complex technical problems, particularly around Snowflake integration and platform adoption
• Have strong experience with Snowflake, including its architecture, capabilities, and how it integrates within a wider data platform ecosystem
• Have solid experience building web-based applications, supporting micro-services and deploying them in a cloud environment, with focus on data platform infrastructure
• Support other teams' migration to Snowflake, providing technical guidance and platform solutions rather than direct data engineering
• Have technical experience of complex platform projects and be able to contribute as a technical expert on Snowflake implementations
• Have strong communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to contribute to engineering initiatives across teams adopting the Snowflake platform
• Be able to work with our technical leadership teams to contribute to the technical evolution of our Snowflake platform and its integration with our broader applications
• Have solid understanding of modern software engineering, from test automation to architectural principles, applied to data platform development
• Understand what it takes to develop resilient, scalable and secure data platform solutions
• Recognise that people build software and working with others is key to success, especially when enabling other teams to adopt new platform capabilities
• Our tech stack - We use a wide variety of tools and technologies across our products, and no-one is expected to have deep experience of all of them.

Here’s an idea of what you might typically encounter:

• Our services are deployed to AWS, typically using Lambda, ECS and Kubernetes with CloudFormation and CDK for infrastructure configuration
• Our web products are developed using TypeScript and React
• We implement GraphQL and RESTful APIs using NodeJS and NestJS
• Our backend services are implemented in C# and Python
• Redshift, DynamoDB, Postgres, Elasticsearch, and S3 are our go to data stores
• Snowflake is a key component of our data platform

What we can offer you:

• We want you to do the best work of your career while you’re with Wood Mackenzie. As well as a comprehensive benefits package we offer:
• Ownership of your work and trust to see it through
• Mastery: 2 days per month allocated for innovation and personal development
• Online and in-office training and certification opportunities
• Excellent work-life balance: we respect that people have lives outside work
• Stress-free financial package inclusive of a competitive salary, above-competition pension contribution, structured bonus scheme, shares scheme and life assurance cover.
• Wellbeing is a priority for us: we offer remote working, private medical insurance as well as mental wellness days throughout the year.
