Productivity Metrics Engineer (Contract)
6-Month Contract | Up to £850/day inside ir35 | Onsite (4 days for 3 weeks and 5 days for 1 week) | London
I’m working with a leading quantitative technology organisation that’s looking for a Productivity Metrics Engineer to join its Engineering Tools function on an initial 6-month contract.
This is an opportunity to build tooling that helps engineering teams better understand how software is delivered at scale. You’ll be responsible for developing integrations that collect and ingest engineering metadata from multiple internal systems, creating reusable libraries, and enabling accurate developer productivity metrics across a complex technology estate.
What you’ll be doing
- Building integrations that extract data from engineering platforms and internal tooling.
- Developing reusable libraries and APIs to standardise data ingestion into a central data platform.
- Designing scalable integration layers capable of handling multiple data sources and evolving schemas.
- Working closely with engineering teams to onboard new systems and deliver well-documented, production-ready extractors.
- Building observability into integrations to ensure data quality, reliability and confidence in reported metrics.
What they’re looking for
- Strong software engineering experience with Python or C#.
- Experience building integration services, data ingestion pipelines or ETL-style solutions.
- Strong API development and integration experience.
- Experience working with distributed systems, cloud platforms and CI/CD tooling.
- Comfortable working across multiple engineering teams and engaging with a wide range of technical stakeholders.
- Experience designing scalable, reusable services and integration libraries.
Nice to have
- Exposure to engineering tooling such as Git, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Argo or similar platforms.
- Experience working with event-driven architectures, observability or developer tooling.
- Previous experience within financial services, fintech or other large-scale engineering environments.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly regarded engineering organisation where you’ll have ownership of a well-defined project, work with experienced engineering teams, and deliver tooling that will be adopted across the wider business.
