Job Title: Data Engineer
Salary: £60k-70k
Company Description: Openr - Venture-backed hospitality data platform
Job Description:
As the first dedicated Data Engineer, you will build the "single source of truth" for the hospitality industry. You'll own the design and maintenance of scalable ETL pipelines that centralize product and pricing data for 1,500+ venues, enabling seamless integrations with platforms like Deliveroo and major EPOS systems to power real-time commerce.
Location: London, UK
Why this role is remarkable:
Impactful ownership as the first Data Engineer in a high-performing team, shaping the data architecture and technical direction from the ground up.
Strong commercial backing with £3M recently raised from top-tier investors Imbiba and Octopus Ventures, supporting a platform already live across 1,500+ venues.
Modern, high-efficiency engineering culture utilizing a serverless AWS stack with no out-of-hours support and a focus on practical pipeline engineering over complex big-data overhead.
What you will do:
Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL pipelines to centralize data from dozens of third-party hospitality platforms and integrations.
Optimize PostgreSQL performance and system reliability to ensure data integrity across mission-critical, real-time customer touchpoints.
Translate complex architectural decisions and data concepts into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders and the broader product team.
The ideal candidate:
Mid-to-senior level engineer (4-5 years) with deep expertise in TypeScript, SQL, and building robust data pipelines.
Proven track record of managing AWS-native infrastructure and cloud-based integrations within a SaaS or high-growth startup environment.
Strong system design skills with the ability to balance technical debt against the delivery of new features in an event-driven architecture.
