The role
At Neptune, we believe great technology starts with great people. Data is at the heart of everything we do at Neptune. From managing stock and inventory to understanding the habits of our customers, data drives every decision we make. We're looking for a Data Engineer within our IT team to help shape our data strategy and bring our information to life.
You'll be the person who ensures our datasets are accurate, reliable, and high-quality datasets that power smarter, faster decisions every day.
You'll play a key role in how we collect, protect, and use data - ensuring it's secure, compliant, and full of potential.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Implement and automate data flows between operational systems and BI tools, developing robust ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes to streamline data pipelines.
- Re-engineer manual data flows into scalable, repeatable processes and creating reusable business intelligence reports and accessible datasets for analysis.
- Support database design, documentation, and coding best practices and build APIs and integrations that connect systems and improve data accessibility.
- Ensure data quality, integrity, and consistency through rigorous testing and validation.
- Document database structures, ETL processes, and data pipelines to support ongoing development and maintenance.
You'll bring previous experience as a Data Engineer or in a similar technical data role, with knowledge of MSSQL, MySQL, and both cloud and on-premise database technologies. You'll be familiar with PowerShell, ETL tools and experience with SSIS, SSMS, and reporting tools like Power BI and SSRS. You will have had exposure to cloud data platforms such as Snowflake. We'd love it if you came from a Retail, Manufacturing, or Warehouse Distribution environments.
As a person, you'll be detail-driven, logical, and methodical in your approach with the ability to prioritise effectively and manage competing deadlines. You'll be a natural problem solver and a clear and confident communicator who enjoys collaborating across teams. You'll take pride in your work - and you care deeply about data accuracy, quality, and security.
This role is based at our stunning support offices in Swindon, Wiltshire three days a week, with some home remote working and a willingness to travel and occasionally work outside standard hours when required.
