Company Description
Porta Delivery, located in the London area, United Kingdom, is on mission to transform the logistics sector in the UK. Currently deliveries of items make up nearly 10% of total UK emissions, however, the vast majority of vehicles on the road at any one time are nearly empty. We want to change this by tapping into this under-utilised resource, matching people who need things delivered with people already planning the journey.
Launched in January 2023, we've developed an MVP and are now seeking a talented Junior Data Engineer to optimise our data pipelines and support the development of our matching algorithm.
Role Description
We're looking for a passionate Junior Data Engineer to join our team. You'll play a crucial role in designing, building, and maintaining efficient data pipelines. Your work will involve extracting, transforming, and loading data, as well as supporting the development of machine learning models to enhance our matching algorithm.
Qualifications
- Data Engineering, Data Modelling, and ETL skills
- General proficiency in programming languages such as Python, SQL, or Java
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
- Work with AWS services like Kinesis, S3, and SageMaker
- Experience with no-code platforms (e.g., Bubble)
- Proficiency in API integration (REST)
- Knowledge of machine learning algorithms and techniques
Who we're looking for
- Must be super passionate about the mission we're on
- Be able to work independently and drive ideas and work-streams
- More of a generalist than only data engineering
- Ability to work to tight timelines, and rapid iterations
