What we're looking for
The Data Engineering Squad within the Data & Business Intelligence team is at its core, operational. We make the “rubber hit the
road” when it comes to data and technology at HelloFresh UK, by translating HelloFresh Global’s country agnostic systems into
systems that address the complexities of HelloFresh UK. You will:

- Work with all areas of the business to develop tools that optimise and automate processes
- Translate complex problems into robust, scalable and flexible tools
- Provide rotational on-call support in the morning on weekdays for business critical processes (and on weekends with
additional reimbursement)
An Executive works at a junior/mid-level, running operational tasks autonomously and leading initiatives, with moderate support from manager. From there, you can progress to a Lead level within the same function, or progress sideways to a role in another team at HelloFresh for which you have transferable skills. This role is based in Shoreditch and starts on July 2021.
