Location: Poland / Remote (Europe) | Salary: €70,000 - €90,000 + Benefits

This is an opportunity to play a key role in a large-scale global data transformation programme within a complex manufacturing environment. You'll help build and scale a modern Microsoft Fabric platform from the ground up, working on enterprise-grade data engineering challenges that span multiple regions, business units, and technology ecosystems.

The Company

They are a global manufacturing organisation with operations across multiple continents and a workforce of more than 20,000 employees. The business delivers highly customised products at scale, generating significant data volumes across a diverse technology landscape.

As part of a wider Finance and Data & Analytics transformation, they are investing heavily in modern data platforms, analytics capabilities, and enterprise data management. Their teams are distributed globally, with strong collaboration across Europe, Asia, and North America.

The Role

As a Senior Data Engineer (Microsoft Fabric), you will be responsible for designing, building, and supporting a centralised data platform that brings together data from multiple business systems into a modern Microsoft Fabric environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and developing scalable data solutions using Microsoft Fabric and Lakehouse architecture
• Building and maintaining Medallion architecture data models across Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers
• Developing robust SQL and T-SQL based data pipelines for large-scale enterprise datasets
• Integrating data from multiple source systems into a centralised analytics platform
• Implementing data quality, reconciliation, validation, and governance processes
• Supporting production environments, troubleshooting data issues, and ensuring platform reliability
• Driving DevOps best practices, including Git-based version control, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment processes
• Collaborating with technical and business stakeholders across Finance, Analytics, and Technology teams
• Contributing to platform architecture and engineering standards as the data platform continues to scale

This is a hands-on backend engineering role focused on platform development, data integration, and operational excellence. It is not a Power BI development or dashboard-focused position.

• Strong experience as a Data Engineer within large, complex organisations
• Proven expertise delivering solutions in Microsoft Fabric production environments
• Strong SQL and T-SQL development skills
• Experience building and maintaining Lakehouse and Medallion architecture solutions
• Strong understanding of enterprise data integration and large-scale data platforms
• Experience implementing DevOps practices, including Git, CI/CD, automated testing, and deployment automation
• Experience supporting live production platforms and resolving operational issues
• Understanding of infrastructure, platform engineering, or data platform operations
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with experience working across global teams
• Exposure to Azure data technologies and cloud-based data ecosystems

Highly desirable:

• Experience delivering transformation programmes or building data platforms from scratch
• Experience within manufacturing, supply chain, finance, or other data-intensive environments
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code approaches and platform automation

What They Offer

• Salary of €70,000 - €90,000 depending on experience
• Fully remote working across Europe
• Preference for candidates based in Poland or Eastern Europe, with flexibility across European time zones
• Opportunity to work on a high-profile global transformation programme
• Exposure to senior stakeholders across an international organisation
• Long-term career progression within a growing data and analytics function
• Collaborative, international engineering environment
• Approximately 3-4 business trips per year for team and project meetings
