Python Job: Junior Data Engineer

Pirical is pioneering the field of People Analytics. We are on a mission to help companies make fairer and better decisions about their people by helping our customers answer tough people strategy questions like: 'How can we achieve 30% of women in leadership by 2030?' or 'How can we eliminate bias in the recruitment process?’. This is enabled by our innovative knowledge management systems and data automation techniques.

We are an organically grown business that already has some of the world’s leading law firms as our clients both here in the UK and in the US, and we have ambitious plans to grow our business even further.

We have a remote-first culture where all employees (either remote-based or regularly coming to our London office) feel valued and equally part of the team. Each team will ensure that regular quality-time is spent in person (usually for a bi-monthly team day in our London office). Our team has an informal, hard-working, and supportive team culture.
