TL;DR · Job Detail

Join our Geospatial Data Science team as a Data Engineer supporting commodities trading in London. You will design and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines for large-scale geospatial data, including AIS and maritime datasets, to provide actionable insights for energy, agricultural, and metals markets. Your day-to-day involves developing robust geospatial data models in PostGIS, writing performant Python and SQL code, and collaborating with portfolio managers and researchers to create features like tonne-miles and voyage estimates. Essential skills include 3+ years of commercial Python experience, proficiency in PostGIS for spatial queries, and hands-on knowledge of AIS datasets. Familiarity with Apache Airflow, AWS, and commodity trading is beneficial but not required. This role bridges large-scale geospatial engineering with front-office trading to deliver reliable maritime data products that inform investment decisions.

What you'll do

  • Design and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines for AIS and maritime datasets.
  • Develop and optimize geospatial data models using PostGIS for various applications.
  • Write efficient Python and SQL code to transform raw data into trading-ready datasets.
  • Engineer features like tonne-miles, floating storage, and port dwell times with researchers.
  • Ensure data quality, lineage, monitoring, and reliability across all maritime products.
  • Collaborate with the commodities desk to translate trading questions into data solutions.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of commercial Python 3 experience with strong coding skills.
  • Proficiency in PostGIS for spatial queries, indexing, and geospatial data modeling.
  • Hands-on experience with AIS datasets and their structure, quirks, and limitations.
  • Strong SQL proficiency including query optimization on large datasets.
  • Experience designing, building, and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines at scale.
