Job description

The Opportunity

Are you passionate about data engineering? The Open Data team at the Parliamentary Digital Service (PDS) is beginning the development of a new Open Data Platform for parliamentary procedure data, replacing existing platforms and their associated data integration and publishing services.

As our Senior Data Engineer you will play a key role in designing, building, and evolving the data platforms that support decision-making across the organisation. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, analytics, and product delivery. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to provide high-quality, reliable, and scalable data solutions that drive insight and operational excellence.

You'll bring strong software engineering experience - with C# as your primary development language - and the ability to produce clean, scalable, production-ready code as standard. Alongside this, you'll have hands-on cloud experience (Azure preferred, but AWS or GCP also welcome), including deploying, managing, and supporting cloud-hosted data services and applications.

Using your advanced technical expertise and experience delivering modern data systems, you'll help shape our data strategy, improve how teams access and use data, and ensure our platforms remain secure, resilient, and future-ready.
