The TLC Data Team are the business’s behind-the-scenes storytellers and problem-solvers; collecting all the digital clues from campaigns and customers, tidying up messy data, and turning it into clear, meaningful insights that everyone can act on. They spot patterns others might miss, explain what’s really driving performance, and help teams make smarter, faster decisions, so instead of guessing what might work, TLC knows what does work and what to do next.
What you'll be doing:
Data Platform Development & AI Enablement
You will build, maintain, and optimise ELT pipelines that ingest data from internal operational systems, APIs, third-party platforms, and event sources into Snowflake using tools such as Fivetran and cloud-native integrations. You will also play a key role in evolving TLC’s modern data platform to support future AI, automation, and advanced analytics capabilities by building reliable, high-quality data foundations that enable personalisation, intelligent automation, and data-driven product innovation.
Data Modelling, Transformation & Analytics Enablement
You will develop and maintain raw, curated, and business-ready data models within Snowflake, ensuring data is structured, documented, and optimised for analytics and self-service reporting. You will support the delivery of trusted datasets and semantic layers that power downstream analytics and enable scalable, data-driven decision-making across the organisation.
Platform Optimisation & Continuous Improvement
You will help improve the reliability, scalability, performance, and observability of the modern data platform, identifying opportunities to optimise Snowflake usage, streamline workflows, improve automation, and enhance developer experience as TLC’s data capabilities continue to evolve.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
You will work closely with Analysts, Technology, Product, and Client teams to understand data requirements and deliver scalable data solutions that support business decision-making.
Operational System Integration
You will support integrations across TLC’s operational ecosystem, including COSMOS, Mixpanel, external plugins, and third-party platforms, helping ensure reliable, accurate, and scalable movement of data across business systems.
Data Quality, Governance & Engineering Best Practices
You will contribute to data governance, testing, monitoring, documentation, and engineering standards to ensure trusted, high-quality datasets and scalable development practices across the data platform. This includes version control, code reviews, automation, and continuous improvement of engineering processes.
What we're looking for:
Proven experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or modern data platform development
Strong SQL and Python skills, with experience building and optimising data transformations, automation, and scalable data workflows
Experience working with cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or similar, including performance, scalability, and cost optimisation
Understanding of dimensional modelling, semantic layer design, and building curated business-ready datasets for analytics and reporting
Experience developing and maintaining ELT/ETL pipelines, including ingesting and integrating data from APIs, SaaS platforms, and operational systems
Experience monitoring and troubleshooting data pipelines, schema changes, synchronisation issues, and platform reliability
Familiarity with modern data stack tools such as Fivetran, dbt, orchestration tools, Git, and collaborative engineering practices including version control and code reviews
Experience working with cloud platforms such as Azure and/or GCP
Strong communication skills with the ability to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders
A proactive mindset with an interest in modern data platform trends, AI enablement, automation, scalability, and continuous improvement
Preferred Experience
Experience with Snowflake optimisation and performance tuning
Experience working with event analytics platforms such as Mixpanel
Familiarity with modern analytics platforms
Experience using Python for data engineering or automation tasks
Familiarity with customer, campaign, loyalty, or martech data ecosystems
Experience working with AI/GenAI capabilities within Snowflake, including implementing best practices and leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning features to support business use cases.
Being a people-led business, we hire upon values and believe that our people are what make the beloved TLC culture so unique.
At TLC we aim to create a ‘world within the world’ that is free from prejudice, bias and inequity.
A world where diversity is valued and celebrated, and where we work hard to ensure all our wonderful people are given equal opportunity to succeed.
