Job Details Why this job is important We're currently undergoing the largest technology transformation our $4bn business has ever seen. As a cloud‑native organisation (Azure), we're modernising and integrating our platforms to respond faster, smarter and at greater scale. A critical part of this transformation is Digital Twins - a bold, experimental platform that simulates consumer behaviour at scale, enabling Kantar's products to test scenarios and predict outcomes before they happen. As a Senior Data Engineer, you'll join a very small, agile, start‑up‑style team building it from the ground up. You'll move fast, test ideas quickly, learn from setbacks and iterate. It's a demanding challenge, led by industry experts, where your thinking and engineering choices will directly shape the outcome.
