Job description

Senior Data Engineer - Make an Impact

About Us

We’re driving a major transformation in data and analytics, and we need a senior data engineer who can do more than just build pipelines – someone who can demonstrate real impact, influence stakeholders, and help shape the future of our data platform.

Why This Role Exists

This is an opportunity for an experienced data engineer and an opportunity to grow into a principal‑level role within 2‑3 years. You’ll join a small, ambitious team with high visibility across the business, working on modernization projects that will redefine how we use data.

What We’re Looking For

• Impact-Driven Mindset: We want someone who can clearly articulate the difference they’ve made in previous roles – not just list tasks. Show how you improved processes, accelerated insights, or drove strategic decisions.
• Technical Expertise:
  • Essential: Strong experience with Microsoft Fabric or Databricks at a good level.
  • Python Proficiency: Advanced coding skills for building robust, scalable solutions.
  • Strong SQL and data modelling (relational and dimensional).
• Modern Data Engineering: Proven ability to design and deliver scalable solutions using modern architectures (lakehouse, medallion, warehouse‑first).
• Stakeholder Engagement: Ability to influence and collaborate with business leaders, translating technical solutions into measurable business outcomes.
• Growth Potential: Comfortable mentoring junior engineers and keen to develop into a leadership role.
• Mindset: Curious, proactive, and passionate about turning data into tangible business value.

What You’ll Do

• Drive the evolution of our data platform using Microsoft Fabric and modern engineering practices.
• Build and optimise data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and modelling.
• Support migration from legacy systems (e.g., Synapse) to modern architectures.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure solutions deliver real business impact.
• Contribute to innovation projects, including AI integration and advanced analytics.

Why Join Us

• A small, supportive team with big ambitions.
• High visibility and the chance to make a real difference.
• Opportunity to shape modern data capabilities from the ground up.
• Flexible working (remote with quarterly meet‑ups).

What Success Looks Like

• You can evidence impact: cost savings, efficiency gains, improved decision‑making, or accelerated delivery timelines.
• You’re trusted by stakeholders and seen as a partner who drives change.
• You bring clarity and simplicity to complex data challenges.

Please note you MUST have Python and Microsoft Fabric experience.
