Data Engineer - 6 Months - Outside IR35

A leading tech company requires a data engineer for an initial 6-month contract. The position is fully remote or hybrid, outside IR35, and will likely extend long-term due to the amount of work they have in the pipeline.

The Role:

You will be part of a rapidly growing data team helping to deliver their leading data platform, which is being used to drive key decision-making in renewable energy and its use around the world-tech for good, you could say!

They are looking for a data engineer with demonstrable experience building complex systems to ingest and process large volumes of data using native AWS services.

. The main tools you will be using day to day are:

** Python

** PySpark

** SQL

** AWS - Glue

** Redshift

** Exposure to logging, monitoring and data observability would be a bonus

You:

Our customer is looking for someone who is well versed in the above tools/technologies. They also need someone who understands the principles of Data Engineering and is willing to roll up their sleeves, as this project is critical for them.

As a Senior member of the team, you are expected to pick up their tooling quickly, work closely with other team members, and help build upon an already industry-leading product.

Rate / Process:

This role is based in Edinburgh City Centre. While someone local is preferred for hybrid working, it can be fully remote.

The interview process will include a short video call with the Head of Data and then a final meeting with other team members. Interviews will be held the week of January 6th.

Rate-wise, we have between £400 - £450 per day + VAT, depending on experience and availability.
