Principal Data Engineer

We are seeking skilled data professionals who are passionate about delivering value to our clients. As a Principal Data Engineer, you’ll play a crucial role in executing data projects from concept to delivery, working on some of the most exciting and varied projects across a range of enterprises—from some of the largest global companies to innovative smaller businesses. You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact by helping these organizations leverage data on modern cloud platforms.

At Arreoblue, we value trust, agility, efficiency, and innovation. We seek individuals who are not only technically proficient but also eager to grow and share their knowledge. If you’re someone who enjoys collaborating with others, learning new things, and contributing to both internal and public communities, we’d love to hear from you.

What you will do

As a Principal Data Engineer, you’ll be an expert in the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform stack, managing both the technical and commercial aspects of client relationships. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Conducting engineering and architectural assessments.
• Providing strategic guidance and developing roadmaps to ensure client success on Azure.
• Leading diverse and interesting projects that utilize Azure Data Platform services, including Databricks and Microsoft Fabric.
• Collaborating with and guiding teams composed of both Arreoblue and client-facing members.

Your role will be dynamic and varied, offering the chance to work on projects that range from large-scale enterprise solutions to cutting-edge innovations in smaller businesses. Communication skills are important as you’ll often translate complex technical concepts into understandable terms for a range of stakeholders. Experience in leading, coaching, and developing high-performing technical teams is essential.

How you will do it

We follow a Triple A framework, a style that allows us to partner with clients in a way that builds joint, collaborative, and engaging environments. This approach fosters an energized atmosphere where ideas can be quickly tested, offering a platform for quick wins, excitement, and success. It also provides great challenges and opportunities to demonstrate your skills while educating clients.

While we understand that technologies are always evolving, we are particularly interested in candidates with strong working, architectural, and platform knowledge in two or more of the following areas:

• Databricks
• Fabric/Synapse Analytics
• Dedicated SQL Pools
• Data Factory

You should have solid experience with Apache Spark, SQL, and Python, along with a strong foundation in best development practices. Experience running teams and projects with both technical and commercial responsibility is highly valued.

We’re looking for individuals who aspire to be at the top of their field—if you’re the type of person who is working towards becoming a Microsoft MVP, this could be the perfect role for you.

Location(s)

We are a fully remote company, but love spending time with our customers so we like to be present and on site with them when we can – this can be up to one day a week depending on project and location. All candidates must reside and be eligible to work in the UK to be considered for this role. We encourage flexible working in terms of both hours and location, with the expectation that employees may get together from time to time. Any required travel to clients will be covered by us.

Our interview process is designed to be a two-way conversation. Following an initial telephone screening call to ensure alignment, we’ll conduct two stages: a “General Competency” interview and a “Technical Deep Dive.” You may also have the opportunity to meet some of the wider team during these phases if appropriate.
