  • Proven ability to design and evolve schemas for fast-changing product environments.
  • Strong understanding of query performance, indexing, and relational data modelling.
  • Comfort working in cross-functional squads with engineers, product managers, and TPMs.
  • Clear thinking around data architecture, standards, and trade-offs.

  • Reward package including equity - we want our success to be yours too.
  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers with 18 weeks paid leave.
  • An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more.
  • Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally, including remote working abroad.
