Data Products Engineer
AON
Data Products Engineer
Aon is looking to welcome a Back End Engineer – Data APIs & Insights to our growing technology team. In this role, you’ll help build and scale the data infrastructure and APIs that power our market intelligence products—serving high-value insights to clients across enterprise web applications.
This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our Dublin office.
Aon is in the business of better decisions
At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world.
As an organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive team and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.
What the day will look like
The main responsibilities will include:
+ Design and develop modern APIs that serve both raw data and AI-generated insights to our suite of client-facing web applications.
+ Build and optimise performant data pipelines using Polars, FastAPI, and Python, ensuring fast response times and efficient memory usage.
+ Collaborate closely with front end engineers, product managers, and machine learning engineers to deliver seamless, user-focused features.
+ Implement API-first architecture practices, with careful attention to schema design, versioning, and documentation.
+ ·Work across the AWS stack, deploying scalable services that power mission-critical experiences for enterprise users.
+ Contribute to system design decisions, database modelling, and service orchestration to ensure resilient, maintainable back end systems.
+ Monitor and tune application performance, from query speeds to service latency and throughput.
+ Support a culture of engineering excellence, code quality, and continuous improvement.
How this opportunity is different
This is a great opportunity for individuals passionate about building elegant, scalable, and performant back-end systems, with a track record of delivering robust APIs that enable dynamic React front ends and unlock the full value of data and AI-driven insights.
Behind every insight we deliver is a fast, reliable, and intelligent API infrastructure—designed to serve curated data and machine-generated intelligence in milliseconds. You’ll be working with a modern Python stack to build the systems that make this possible: robust data services, scalable APIs, and infrastructure that keeps up with demanding enterprise users.
Skills and experience that will lead to success
The ideal Data Products Engineer will have:
+ Few years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in B2B or data product environments.
+ Deep experience with Python, including libraries like Polars, PySpark, and frameworks such as FastAPI or Fastify and up-to-date with modern Python best practices, including tools such as Ruff, UV and PyEnv.
+ Experience working on data-heavy platforms or with AI/ML outputs exposed via APIs
+ Proficient in designing, building, and scaling RESTful APIs (GraphQL experience is a bonus).
+ Strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure, especially the AWS stack (Lambda, ECS, S3, CloudWatch, etc.).
+ Solid understanding of data performance trade-offs—e.g. query optimization, memory use, parallelism.
+ Familiarity with modern CI/CD pipelines, containerisation (Docker), and IaC tools like Terraform.
+ Strong collaboration skills—able to partner with front end teams and product stakeholders to ship well-integrated features.
+ Comfortable in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments with a strong culture of accountability.
Nice to Have:
+ Familiarity with React and how front end teams consume and interact with back end services.
+ Experience with the Databricks platform and ecosystem.
+ Prior experience in a market intelligence, financial data, or analytics SaaS business.
+ Working knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases and data modelling in analytics contexts.
+ Comfortable working with AI developer assistants (e.g. GitLab Copilot).
