Job description

Overview

Role: Senior Data Engineer (Data Platform)

Salary: £80,000 to £95,000 base salary

Location: London Paddington Hybrid 3 days a week

The Company

WeDo is working with a high growth fintech operating regulated payment platforms across multiple countries. As the business continues to expand internationally, data engineering has become a core strategic function, with significant investment in scalable, reliable, and automated data platforms.

The Position

This is a Senior Data Engineering role within the Regulatory Reporting function, focused on building a new data platform to support international growth.

The team currently delivers regulatory reporting for six countries and is scaling to more than thirty. Each country has different reporting rules, formats, and submission processes, creating a complex and highly impactful engineering challenge.

You will play a key role in designing and building this platform from the ground up, owning data models, pipelines, orchestration, and submission workflows. You will work closely with the core Data Engineering platform team while retaining clear ownership of the regulatory reporting layer.

The role is strongly engineering focused rather than BI oriented. You will work with both batch and real time data, integrate with microservices, and help transition the platform towards event driven architecture. Accuracy and reliability are critical, as these outputs are submitted directly to regulators.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior data engineer looking for ownership, architectural influence, and a platform that will grow significantly in scale and complexity.

Requirements

• Strong experience designing and building data platforms and data architectures
• Hands on experience with design and build of cloud data warehouses
• Snowflake experience is desirable, though Redshift or Synapse are also suitable
• Experience with data orchestration tools such as Airflow or Prefect
• Strong coding ability in Python, Java, or Scala
• Experience building data infrastructure from scratch
• Comfortable working with both batch and streaming data
• Experience integrating data platforms with microservices and real time systems
