Senior Data Engineer - Integration's (Azure)

I am recruiting for a rapidly growing, multi-site healthcare organisation in the middle of a major digital transformation. As their Data & Business Intelligence function continues to expand, they require a hands-on Senior Data Engineer to take ownership of the Azure migration and enterprise integration strategy.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused leadership role, working as the number two to the Director of Data & BI. You will own the day-to-day data engineering and integration's landscape, helping to shape modern cloud architecture while mentoring a small but capable team.

You’ll be joining at a pivotal point as the business migrates from GCP to Azure, modernises its data platform, and connects a complex ecosystem of finance, HR, and core operational systems. The role comes with strong visibility across the business and regular interaction with senior leadership, including the CFO.

The Role

• Lead the development and maintenance of enterprise data and integration platforms
• Design, build, and manage Azure data pipelines using Data Factory, Data Lake, and SQL
• Own API and system-to-system integrations using Logic Apps, Function Apps, and related tools
• Oversee data governance, quality, and documentation
• Mentor a small Data & BI engineering team (currently 3 people)
• Partner closely with Finance, HR, Operations, and senior stakeholders
• Work with external MSPs and vendors to ensure best-practice delivery

Technology & Experience

Essential

• Strong hands-on experience with the Azure data platform
• Proven experience delivering API and enterprise system integrations
• ETL / ELT pipelines, data modelling, and data warehousing
• Understanding of how data feeds into Power BI and analytics platforms

Desirable

• GCP exposure (to support migration)
• iPaaS platforms such as Boomi, MuleSoft, or Informatica
• Multi-site sector experience (healthcare, retail, hospitality, etc.)

Package & Working Pattern

• Salary : £75,000 to £85,000
• Hybrid working : Basingstoke, 2 days a MONTH onsite.
• Two-stage interview process (online followed by on-site with Head of Data & CFO)
