Job description

Senior Data Engineer

Location: Newcastle/ Hybrid

Salary: £65,000-£80,000 + benefits

We're partnering with a fast-growing, ambitious business that's investing heavily in its data capability and looking for a Senior Data Engineer to take ownership of its modern data platform.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business where data is central to decision-making and where you'll have genuine influence over the technology, architecture, and future direction of the platform. Rather than inheriting a rigid environment, you'll be empowered to improve, optimise and shape the way data engineering is delivered.

Tech Stack

• Snowflake


• AWS


• Python


• SQL


• SQLMesh / dbt


• BigQuery

Why This Role?

• Real ownership of an established cloud data platform


• Significant influence on technical direction and best practice


• Opportunity to work closely with Product, Engineering and business stakeholders


• A fast-paced, collaborative environment where your impact is visible


• Clear opportunity to develop leadership responsibilities as the data function grows


• Freedom to help shape the role around your strengths and career ambitions

This is an opportunity to go beyond day-to-day engineering. You'll have the autonomy to influence architecture, improve the platform, work closely with stakeholders across the business, and play a key role in building out the data capability as it grows.

Perfect for someone who enjoys ownership, wants greater leadership exposure, and is looking for a role that can evolve with their ambitions.
