A newly established data function within a growing organisation is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help shape and scale modern data capabilities. This is a hands-on role with high visibility, ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems and can confidently represent the data function across a range of projects.

About the Role:

You'll be responsible for maintaining and evolving data pipelines, contributing to architecture decisions, and working closely with both internal stakeholders and external vendors. The tech stack centres around AWS and Databricks, and you'll have the chance to drive impactful data initiatives from day one.

Key Responsibilities:

Build, maintain, and scale reliable data pipelines
Work across AWS services (Redshift, Glue, Lambdas) and Databricks
Design and evolve data models, data lakes, and warehouse solutions
Apply CI/CD practices using GitHub and modern DevOps workflows
Engage with cross-functional teams and vendors to deliver high-quality data solutions

What We're Looking For:

Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Databricks, and Python
Proven ability to work with large-scale datasets and cloud architectures
Deep understanding of data modelling, warehousing, and pipeline development
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based version control
A proactive, confident communicator who thrives on challenge

Certifications are a bonus, but practical, applied knowledge is the priority. The right person will be technically strong, delivery-focused, and comfortable representing the data team in business-critical settings.

This is a great opportunity to make a real impact in a fast-evolving environment that values ownership, learning, and collaboration.
