It’s an exciting time to join Gearset! In the last few years we’ve rocketed from a 7 person start-up to over 250 people, and we’re only just getting started. As a product-driven company founded by engineers, we know the value of a great engineering culture, and we’re looking for experienced technical team leaders to join a team built from the ground up on trust, teamwork and tight feedback loops.
Our deliberate lack of unnecessary hierarchy, and our focus on the job to be done (one of our core values), means you’ll work from day one on making thousands of businesses around the world more effective. Working closely with users, you’ll see the difference the features you build have on millions of people developing on Salesforce, and how they apply DevOps best practices to their development and release process.
Our culture of trust, transparency, and collaboration, means everyone at Gearset is given the autonomy to succeed and are trusted to do good work. We only add process when it helps us get things done, and we’re allergic to pointless meetings! We live by our core engineering values, which aren’t just nice words—they guide us through day-to-day challenges and are the foundation of how we work together. 
We know that learning and development is important to great engineers, and at Gearset you’ll find it comes in many forms. From the chance to collaborate with other really smart people who help you learn and raise your game, to having an annual learning and development budget for conferences, events, and courses. All this coupled with flexible working, and a top end hardware setup of your choosing, you can see that Gearset has built a culture to help you succeed.   
Our engineering team is driven by a genuine desire to make the lives of our customers easier, and we do that by helping each other deliver consistently outstanding work. We’re confident in our product, market potential, and we have big plans for the future. You’ll work as an individual contributor for the first few months, embedding into the engineering function before taking on a team.

  • Develop intuitive tooling and deliver training that teaches responsible use of data
  • Use software engineering best practices to govern the data platform, including version control, automated testing and CI/CD
  • Drive the velocity of the team, helping them deliver all their objectives and build the right solutions to support the business
  • Help to maintain, extend and define the future direction of our data platform and be empowered to make the key decisions around these systems
  • Work with teams across the business to collect and feed data into our platform
  • Build out our data transformation tooling and use it to model the data so it can be readily used to build business-relevant dashboards and reports


  • About you

  • Can lead from experience by having been a first class data analytics engineer yourself, with 5+ years of experience working with data platforms
  • Have strong SQL and data modelling skills
  • Have experience working with cloud-based data analytics platforms, such as Redshift, BigQuery or Snowflake
  • Are enthusiastic about collaborating and using data analysis to help people make decisions


  • Great to haves

  • Salary and benefits (the stuff you’d expect!)
  • Salary is £78k - £100k (depending on experience)
  • This is a full time opportunity, working Monday to Friday with the option of flexible home working
  • Generous personal development budget for courses, conferences, or whatever is useful to your professional development in the role of up to £1500 per year
  • Top end hardware provided
  • Free lunch in the office
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (with the option to buy an extra 5 each year)
  • Company Pension Plan (matching up to 5%)
  • Bupa health care
  • Life Insurance & critical illness cover
  • Discounted gym membership, as well as a range of health and wellness benefits


  • About the engineering team
    Some of us studied computer science; some of us have only ever worked at startups; some have worked at huge companies; some are former consultants and some are former chemists. We know diverse teams with varied experiences and opinions are key to the success of the business, so if what we’ve shared about this role sounds interesting, we'd encourage you to apply, whatever your background.
