We are an equal opportunity employer committed to building a representative Beamery, creating an equitable, inclusive and engaging environment for our people.
So, what are you waiting for? Join us and help us transform the future of work once and for all.
What’s ahead — and why it’s an exciting time to join the team:
Deepening our native integrations with SAP, Workday, Microsoft, and LinkedIn to seamlessly embed our skills intelligence into the platforms where critical workforce decisions are made.
Embedding our agentic AI to help customers plan smarter for the future—powering workforce strategies, internal mobility, and skills forecasting.
Advancing our use of proprietary LLMs and knowledge graph technology to help organizations unlock broader talent pools, make fairer decisions, and expand access to opportunity at scale.
But it’s not all about creating high-quality products, we also very much value the company culture we have worked hard to create; built on trust, empathy & honesty ensuring our workforce is able to bring their full selves to work.
Our data platform powers Beamery’s reporting and underpins our AI strategy. We’re hiring a Staff Data Engineer to set its technical direction.
This is our most senior individual contributor role in data engineering. You’ll own the platform’s long-term architecture, make the calls that are expensive to reverse, and lead the work that follows. You’ll also partner with EPD leadership (Engineering, Product, and Design) on work that crosses team boundaries, and on keeping the platform aligned with company strategy. The platform exists so everyone at Beamery can make faster decisions with data they trust. The role suits someone energised by ambiguity who measures impact by what the organisation can do rather than what they personally shipped.
You’re a staff-level data engineer who has built and run data platforms for internal and external consumers. You’ve built architectures that held up as they grew with a focus on data warehousing, data lakes, and both real-time and batch processing.
Teams bring you their hardest data problems. You’ve made the hard tradeoffs in distributed, multi-tenant systems and lived with the consequences. You’re just as comfortable in production: tracing how one upstream failure ripples through to customers, and making sound calls under pressure.
Your impact isn’t measured in code alone. You’ve led initiatives across team boundaries without formal authority, working directly with principal engineers, platform teams, and data scientists, and treating their constraints as part of your design problem. You’ve made architectural decisions others built on for years, and driven modernisation while balancing new technology against real delivery risk. You work with minimal direction, explain tradeoffs and risks credibly to executive audiences, and change your mind as readily as you defend a position.
Our stack will change as we grow, and you’ll be shaping those changes. The ability to learn new tools matters more than experience with any specific one.
Beamery is open to engage with direct employment or contractors for this position in order to find the right fit candidate to join our team.
Beamery is for Everybody. Diversity and open expression are fundamental to us. We acknowledge the challenges in our industry and strive to develop an inclusive culture where everybody can contribute. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of ethnicity, religion, color, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, national origin, age, disability status, or caregiver status. If, for whatever reason, you need us to make reasonable adjustments and adaptations to our recruitment process, please email [email protected]
