Job description

We're hiring a hands-on Data Engineer to join a high-profile data modernisation programme at one of the UK's most recognisable retail brands. This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to help build a modern data platform from the ground up, working with best-in-class tooling at pace and scale.

The Programme

You’ll be joining a data modernisation initiative - Replatforming a legacy data and reporting estate onto a modern cloud stack (Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Azure), retiring legacy MSSQL warehouses, and delivering across multiple international markets. Fast-paced, high-visibility, and high-impact.

The Role

Working as part of a collaborative engineering team and reporting to a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll be hands-on in the day-to-day build of pipelines and data products that power analytics and reporting across the business.

You’ll be:

• Building and maintaining pipelines in Snowflake, dbt and Fivetran, ingesting from SaaS source systems including Workday, Oracle Symphony and NetSuite
• Writing clean, well-tested SQL, Python and dbt code
• Building dbt tests and data quality checks
• Contributing to CI/CD pipelines and peer code reviews
• Participating in Agile ceremonies and on-call rota once onboarded
• Documenting pipelines, datasets and design decisions clearly

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years' commercial experience as a Data Engineer or Analytics Engineer
• Strong SQL — able to write, debug and optimise non-trivial queries
• Hands-on experience with a modern cloud data warehouse (Snowflake strongly preferred)
• Hands-on dbt experience (Core or Cloud) — not just exposure
• Proficient in Python for data transformation and scripting
• Comfortable with Git and Agile delivery
• Right to work in the UK without sponsorship

Nice to Have:

• Fivetran or another managed ELT tool
• MSSQL / T-SQL experience, particularly migrating legacy stored procedures
• Knowledge of dimensional, semantic or medallion architecture

What's on Offer

• Up to £68,000 base salary
• Hybrid - 3 days per week in Manchester (Piccadilly)
• Private medical insurance
• Sabbatical after 3 years
• Pension & life assurance
• Retail perks and bonus scheme
• Genuine career-shaping experience on a high-profile programme with senior mentorship
