If you like providing efficient, effective solutions to complex challenges, join us at Ascent! Be at the heart of helping achieve extraordinary things with software and data for our customers!

This position is available for candidates based in Portugal, Malta and Bulgaria.

About Us

Ascent is a design-led software, data and cloud business that specialises in advanced analytics and AI. We are an engineering business. We design, build and manage cloud-native products, solutions, platforms & experiences on Azure.

Our pan-European community of engineers, architects, data scientists and digital consultants helps customers take on challenges and opportunities, so they can do something new, or do existing things better.

From global insurance, pharma, healthcare and retail to smart home devices, space exploration and cricket - we get to work with some of the sharpest minds in the brightest businesses.

About the role

As a Data Engineer at Ascent, you get to work at the heart of our customer businesses to understand their data problems, identify needs and develop solutions to help them. You’ll join our practice of market-leading data professionals and work typically as part of a cross-functional team on customer projects, supporting their journey through digital transformation, or helping them do existing things in a much better way.

Your Role

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will:

• Collaborate and Innovate: Partner with both internal and customer stakeholders and teams to understand business needs and produce high quality data products and assets.
• Create Success: Work alongside our solution architects to build trusted customer relationships, and lay the foundation for successful, best practice data engineering.
• Leverage Expertise: Be a subject matter expert in data engineering and surrounding practices and services. Build well-structured data pipelines, elegant data models and supporting transformations and tests.
• Share Experience: Support and mentor more junior team members, stay current with emerging trends and share insights through blogs and other media.
• Work in a Hybrid Environment: Participate in weekly in-person meetings at our London or Bristol offices, with occasional travel to customer sites. Enjoy a flexible blend of remote and on-site work.
• Contribute to Accelerators: Help evolve Ascent’s Data accelerators, patterns and metadata frameworks, enabling customers to rapidly implement effective solutions from both a technology and business perspective.
• Data Engineering architecture: Building up blueprints and guides when implementing solutions. Where possible we need to implement top level designs that can be applied to multiple clients.
• Pre-sales support: Be a part of the pre sales initiative to give a Data Engineering viewpoint of proposed solutions.

Your Skills

• Azure Data Engineering: Proven success as an Azure Data Engineer, with the ability to consult, advise, engineer and optimise our customer's data products and assets.
• Azure Data Products: Expertise in one or more of the following platforms: Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Databricks, and experience in some of the supporting data technologies like Power BI, Microsoft Purview, Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Data Lake, etc.
• Azure: Understand core Azure infrastructure concepts and tools (Networks, Identify/Entra, ARM, BICEP, Terraform, etc). You don’t need to be an expert in these but need to understand where they fit into the picture.
• DevOps: Experience with CI/CD promotion from Dev to Prod, through tools like Fabric, Azure DevOps, and/or GitHub.
• Exceptional Communication: Strong verbal, written, and presentation skills to both internal and external audiences.
• Versatile Experience: Working with varying organisations, from SMC to Enterprise.
• Agile Methodologies: Commercial Agile experience is desirable.
• Certification Preferred: Microsoft certifications are advantageous.
• AI Aware: An understanding of Data Science and knowledge of Generative AI would be beneficial, but not a firm requirement.
