To help fuel that growth, we need a Junior Data Engineer to join our Engineering team.

This team is the beating heart of Prima.

Excited to make an impact? Here are the details

What you’ll do

• Shaping the architecture of data products designed for data analytics and data science specifically focusing on use cases like forecasting, feature engineering, customer behaviour, and integration of new data sources.
• Support the data transformation by setting up best practices in areas like Data modelling, performance optimisation, Data Governance etc, ensuring that the data used within Prima is consistent, available and reliable.
• Build reusable technology that enables teams to ingest, store, transform, and serve their own data products.
• Engaging with data scientists and machine learning engineers to explore the product landscape and refine data requirements for enhanced data infrastructure.

What we’re looking for

• Strong academic background in STEM disciplines;

• Curiosity for data and software — whether from coursework, projects, or personal initiatives;

• Motivation and eagerness to learn from more experienced teammates.

Nice-to-have

• Knowledge of Python
• Experience with data pipelines or distributed data systems (e.g., Spark, Airflow).
