Data Engineer (Remote)

Boclips
Boclips is the leading provider of Ed-Ready video, with 2.2M curriculum-aligned videos for EdTechs, publishers, curriculum developers, and schools.Are you ready to shape the future of media-rich learning experiences for students around the world?
Boclips has big ambitions. We’ve built an AI-led product that is transforming the discoverability of multimedia content for education. Multimedia such as videos and podcasts are critical in the online delivery of learning experiences to engage students and improve outcomes - but in order for those assets to provide value, they need to find their right place within the different learning curricula. That's where our data team comes in!
We are looking for a Data Engineer to work with our small and experienced data team, fully integrated with data science to automate the curation of educational media.
About the role
We have 2 million videos in our catalogue that need enriching metadata such as categories, education level, pedagogy (hook / explainer / context builder etc.). The data science team is building and improving models in these areas that need deploying into our production system and monitoring.
We have a vision to capture all data in a clean format that is easily queried. We need to improve and expand the pipeline to support this, define and improve the schemas being queried and ensure it can be used effectively by the business (currently we use looker).
- We deliver continuously, run experiments and communicate results in short cycles and ship code frequently
- We use TDD. Following the red/green refactor cycle of Test-Driven Development is enjoyable and helps to keep everything in perspective. It helps us as engineers to think through a problem, detailing required functionality through tests
- Data. Gathering events from users’ actions allows for better decisions on improvements and choosing new features
- Automation. As a startup we're still in the phase of building and optimising our internal workflows. We're continuously looking at ways to automate back office tasks to make everyone happy.
Requirements
We believe in hiring for engineering aptitude over niche or deeply technical skills.
- You can communicate clearly to all audiences, including non-technical team members and external partners
- You advocate for writing high-quality code and leaving things in a better state than you found them.
- You’re a well-rounded data engineer who likes to understand the business context and anything else that might impact the product.
Must have
- Top level communication skills and in English
- A well rounded understanding of data lakes, data pipelines
- Used to working alongside data science
