We're working with a financial services business looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to take ownership of its data platform.

• Own production data pipelines from trading and internal databases, through AWS ECS Fargate and S3, into Snowflake.
• Build and maintain dbt models, including testing, documentation, lineage and CI/CD.
• Work closely with Finance and Risk to support client-money reconciliation and capital reporting data.
• Introduce data quality monitoring and alerts to keep information accurate and reliable.
• Manage Snowflake access, sensitive data masking, performance and costs.
• Deliver governed data marts and Power BI semantic models for reporting and management information.
• Work across Trading, Finance, Risk, Compliance, Marketing and Operations, supporting FCA and GDPR requirements.

What we're looking for:

• Experience within financial services, trading or fintech.
• Strong hands-on Snowflake experience, including warehouse sizing, clustering, query profiling and cost control.
• Expert SQL and dimensional modelling skills.
• At least two years' experience using dbt in production.
• Python and AWS experience for data pipelines.
• Production Power BI experience, including DAX and Power Query.
• Experience with orchestration frameworks.
• A proven track record of owning production data platforms end to end, with clear responsibility and continuity in previous roles.
• Clear communication skills and confidence working with non-technical colleagues.

Experience with Terraform, Git, GitHub Actions, Power BI Embedded, Microsoft Fabric or Snowflake Cortex would also be useful.

What's on offer:

• Competitive remuneration, with performance-based incentives for permanent employees.
• Career development and progression opportunities.
• A supportive, high-performance team.
• Flexible working arrangements.

Remote applicants will need strong overlap with UK working hours and availability for occasional London visits.
