I am supporting a major technology led organisation that is investing heavily in modernising its data platform and building next generation analytics capabilities. They are scaling their data function and are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join the team as they kick off a large migration and modernisation programme.

The role sits within a high impact area of the business working on sustainability, risk, fraud and broader operational analytics. You will work closely with stakeholders and a collaborative engineering team to deliver scalable, reliable data solutions that underpin key business decisions.

What you will be doing:

• Designing and developing cloud based data pipelines and warehouse solutions

• Supporting a major data migration and helping shape a future lakehouse architecture

• Building and optimising ETL and ELT workflows using modern tooling

• Working with real time data pipelines and streaming technologies including Kafka

• Working with cross functional teams to translate requirements into technical designs

• Improving engineering processes through automation, testing, CI and CD

• Contributing to early stage initiatives and POCs and presenting findings to technical leadership

• Maintaining and supporting data products with a focus on long term reliability

What they are looking for:

• Strong experience in data engineering and cloud based data platforms

• Experience with AWS services such as S3, Redshift and Lambda is ideal, but open to cloud agnostic and Azure backgrounds with lakehouse expertise

• Hands on experience with Airflow, dbt and Kafka

• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, automation and CI and CD

• Experience working on data migrations or modernising legacy systems

• Ability to explain clearly what you have built and the impact it delivered

• Strong communication and stakeholder skills
