We’re looking for a Data Engineer to help shape the data platform behind some of our most important products. Data at Atom isn't simply a reporting or support function. It powers customer-facing products that predict real-world exam outcomes, personalise what children learn next and help teachers understand where to focus their time and attention.

- You focus your judgement and energy on the problems that create the most meaningful impact, whether that’s for learners, teachers, colleagues or the wider business
- You’re collaborative, low-ego and generous with your expertise. You enjoy helping others succeed and making the people around you more effective
- You have significant experience designing, building, maintaining and scaling production data pipelines and platforms
- You have strong Python and SQL skills and produce clear, maintainable and well-tested code
- You understand data modelling, database architecture and the trade-offs involved in building reliable, scalable data systems
