Full description
Manchester (Hybrid, up to 4 days WFH) | £55k-£70k
Street Group is one of the fastest-growing PropTech companies in the UK. We want to be the leading creator of delightful experiences for everybody involved in buying, selling, renting and letting property, regardless of their involvement, to improve the industry for everybody by elevating UK Estate Agencies through world-class technology.
Our products, Street.co.uk and Spectre, form a powerful duo, working harmoniously together to transform an agent's job. From securing more leads and winning new instructions to streamlining business operations and growing market share, our products are supercharging 1,000s of agencies across the UK.
How we work in 2026
Engineering at Street Group has changed. Most of us don't write code by hand day-to-day anymore – agents do; we direct. The bar has moved with it; planning and judgement matter more than typing speed.
Being genuinely tuned into AI tooling is core to the role here, not a side skill – and if you'd rather work the "old" way, that's fair – but we're probably not the place for you.
Our Data team builds and runs the data platform behind both products. That means sourcing property data, scraping the property portals with our in-house tool Road, and serving it all through Kraken, our UK property data API. Terabytes of data move through the platform every night, and since we launched a new version of Road there’s more to do than ever. Nobody owns a single pipeline, so you’ll flex across all of it. At this level, the platform is yours to steer: you won’t just build things well; you’ll decide how they should be built, and call it out when the way we’ve always done it is no longer the right way.
If you love autonomy, are naturally curious, and want to have a genuine impact within a growing company, we think you'd fit right in!
Here's what you can expect to be working on as a Senior Data Engineer (L5) at Street Group
- Owning data work end to end - from working out whether the data exists, through ingestion and modelling, to getting it to the teams who need it.
- Building high-volume pipelines and ETL with performance, reliability and cost in mind and keeping up as sources, schemas and data sets change underneath you.
- Running the platform our pipelines run on, our own Kubernetes cluster and deployment tooling and helping decide what we host, what we pay for and what we retire.
- Setting the patterns, tooling and code review standards that make the whole team faster, including the Claude skills and MCP servers we rely on.
- Being the go-to for questions about our data, what we hold, where it comes from and what it can (and can’t) tell people.
