More about the role: Burson’s Intelligence & Insights capability builds the data infrastructure, pipelines and AI-enabled workflows that power communications measurement and impact reporting at scale. Reporting directly to JT Joseph within the Intelligence & Insights practice and based in London, UK (Hybrid working policy), this role is central to leading the technical development of Fount, Burson’s flagship communications intelligence platform. In this role, you will be responsible for translating product vision and technical specifications into robust, scalable data engineering and business intelligence solutions. Working closely with product leadership, you will contribute technical insights and architectural recommendations that help shape the platform's future evolution. You will operate within a structured Agile team managed in Jira, where product vision, priorities and roadmaps are set by Product Owners, while your core focus is executing this vision to the highest engineering standards. You will serve as the lead engineer responsible for building, maintaining and enhancing Fount, Burson’s custom data pipeline and database layer for communications reporting. Fount enables analysts to configure client monitoring subscriptions, Boolean searches, data ingestion and AI enrichment through an analyst-facing configuration layer. Under the direction of product leadership, you will execute technical deliverables that make the platform more reliable, scalable and seamless for non-technical users to configure and operate. This is a senior individual-contributor role with technical leadership and mentoring responsibility, rather than a formal people-management position. You will directly mentor a junior engineer while providing technical peer support and alignment across the wider engineering team. The position combines strategic engineering with hands-on delivery across major pillars: Technical Leadership & Architecture (e.g., pipeline design, engineering standards, technical reviews, technical debt refactoring, mentoring) Fount Platform & Data Engineering (e.g., ETL/ELT pipelines, Python services, SQL layers, API integrations, cloud infrastructure, cost & performance optimization) Analyst Enablement & AI Integrations (e.g., NocoDB configuration, Boolean ingestion, LLM enrichment frameworks, MCP & provider-hosted integrations) What you'll do: Lead the technical design, architectural standards, and delivery of business-critical data pipelines, services, and platform components across media monitoring and communications data sources. Partner closely with Product Owners in an Agile Jira environment to assess technical feasibility, evaluate trade-offs, and translate product requirements into maintainable, scalable technical solutions. Build and maintain production-ready Python services, SQL transformation layers, star-schema data models, and API integrations across relational databases and cloud storage (Azure Data Lake). Optimis
