Job description

Remote working with 2 days per month onsite

I am delighted to be partnering with our excellent financial services client in their search for a Senior Data Engineer on a contract basis to work on their significant data transformation, as part of wider transformation programme.

This is a hands on role, building and scaling a modern Azure Databricks Lakehouse from the ground up.

You'll need proven experience of:

• Building data pipelines and databases end-to-end
• Working with Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver and Gold)
• Strong hands‑on Databricks, Python/PySpark and SQL experience
• Azure data technologies including ADF, ADLS and Delta Lake
• Delivering production grade data solutions within Financial Services ideally, although we may consider other regulated industry

You may currently be a Senior Data Engineer or Data Architect, but this is not a purely architectural role. We need someone who is still comfortable getting hands on and building.

If you've got experience delivering modern data platforms from design through to production and are available for a new contract, I'd be keen to have a conversation as soon as possible.
