Which team is this in

PropTrack is REA’s property data solutions business. The acquisition of Hometrack (now ‘PropTrack’) by the REA Group in 2018 is part of a strategy to create a ‘property data powerhouse’. The capabilities required will underpin REA’s market leading position into the future, protect against new market entrants and networks as well as provide a new strategic growth plank for REA Group across Data Solutions, Products, Platforms, Insights and Analytics.

We are the engine room of REA. Our mission is to:

  • Improve the quality, access and usage of our property data for consumers, and customers.

  • Build reusable data products and patterns that unlock value stored in our data

  • Create unique insights based on user, listings, property and customer data

  • Invest in the reliability, quality and security of systems and data

Day to day of the job

You will be joining a group of wonderful people, function in a distributed team and solve complex problems that have far reaching benefits to the business and Tech community.

As a Data Engineer you will contribute within PropTrack in the following ways:

  • Designing, coding, testing and deploying new software products using a variety of technologies and platforms.

  • Maintaining existing products, including bug fixes and “Business As Usual” feature enhancements.

  • Supporting production systems.

  • Data migration from other database environments & cloud services

  • Building high quality solutions that meet the needs of our users.

  • Leading the implementation of major features.

Who we’re looking for 

Our ideal candidate will have skills in some of the following areas, whilst demonstrating both a desire and commitment to learning others.

  • Good skills in one or more mainstream programming languages, preferably Python.

  • Good understanding of design patterns, modern software development techniques and continuous delivery strategies.

  • Exposure to data engineering concepts and associated technologies such as Airflow, BigQuery Kafka, batch and real-time data pipelines, ELT, and SQL.

  • Exposure to Linux and shell scripting.

  • Experience with DevOps practices and techniques, such as Docker and CI/CD tools.

  • Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with business stakeholders.

  • Ability to manage the competing demands of multiple projects in a timely manner.

  • Ability to work collaboratively and autonomously in a fast paced environment.

Bonus if you have any of the following

  • Experience in using and managing Cloud infrastructure in AWS and/or GCP.

  • Experience with any Infrastructure as Code techniques, particularly AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK and Terraform.

  • Exposure to platform engineering concepts or developer experience & tooling.

  • Exposure to Scala or Ruby, we have some legacy systems that need care until we migrate

  • Willingness to learn new and complex technologies, and ability to share knowledge with the team.

Some of these things might push you out of your comfort zone or you might be looking at this thinking you can absolutely flourish in this role… Whatever you think, we think you should throw your hat in the ring
