Data Engineer

Are you a Data Engineer who wants more than just building and maintaining pipelines?

I’m working with a high-growth, technology-led business that is investing heavily in data and building a brand-new data platform to transform how data is collected, managed and used across the organisation.

They’re looking for a Lead Data Engineer to play a key role in shaping that platform from the ground up.

What you’ll be doing

This is a genuinely hands-on role, but with plenty of opportunity to influence the bigger picture.

• Designing and building data pipelines across multiple layers of a new data platform
• Working closely with stakeholders to understand data requirements and turn them into technical solutions
• Helping shape the infrastructure supporting the platform
• Establishing engineering standards, patterns and best practices
• Working across data cleansing, migration, modelling and transformation
• Supporting governance and providing technical guidance around data
• Identifying new opportunities to improve how data is used across the business
• Helping define the future direction of the organisation’s data capabilities

What they’re looking for

Ideally, you’ll have:

• 5+ years’ experience in Data Engineering
• Strong Python and SQL skills
• Experience with Spark
• Strong experience with data modelling, migration, cleansing and transformation
• Experience with Azure, AWS or GCP
• Experience building data pipelines and working with modern data platforms
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with senior stakeholders
• A mindset focused on improving how data is used, rather than simply maintaining the status quo

Why consider it?

This is a chance to join at an exciting stage of the data journey.

You’ll have the opportunity to work on a new data platform, influence technical standards and architecture, and help shape how data is used across a growing organisation.

It’s ideal for someone who enjoys being hands-on technically, but also wants the opportunity to have a say in strategy, standards and the wider direction of the platform.
