This is a hands-on role working across a modern data environment, with responsibility for building, developing and optimising data pipelines and platforms that support reporting, analytics and wider business decision-making.

You'll work closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and will have genuine ownership of the solutions you build.

• Build and maintain data transformation models using dbt
• Develop and manage data orchestration workflows using tools such as Azure Data Factory, Apache Airflow or similar
• Write, optimise and troubleshoot complex SQL
• Work with stakeholders to understand data requirements and translate these into effective technical solutions
• Improve data quality, reliability, performance and monitoring across the data platform
• Contribute to data architecture, engineering standards and best practices
• Support the delivery of data-driven projects across the business

Required Experience

• Proven commercial experience working as a Data Engineer or in a similar data engineering role
• Strong SQL skills, with confidence writing, optimising and troubleshooting complex queries
• Hands-on commercial experience with Databricks, ideally within a production data environment
• Genuine hands-on experience with dbt, including developing and maintaining data models and transformation pipelines
• Experience with data orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow, Azure Data Factory or equivalent
• Strong understanding of modern ETL/ELT, data pipelines, data modelling and data quality
• Experience working with cloud-based data platforms across Azure, AWS or GCP
• Strong Python skills for data engineering
• Good understanding of data warehousing and modern data architecture
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Snowflake experience would be highly desirable.

What's on Offer

• Fully remote working within the UK
• 65,000 - 70,000 salary
• Opportunity to work with a modern data engineering stack
• Genuine ownership of data pipelines and engineering solutions
• Exposure to a range of data and analytics projects
• Flexible working environment
• Opportunities for professional development and progression

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on Senior Data Engineer who wants to work with modern technologies including Databricks, dbt and cloud-based orchestration tools, while having genuine ownership and impact within a growing data function.
