Data Platform Engineer (Contract)

• Build and operate the Snowflake platform on AWS, running on OpenShift.
• Own CI/CD for data: deployment pipelines, environments, and the tooling that lets data engineers ship safely.
• Treat infrastructure as code and keep the platform reliable, observable, and secure.
• Partner with the architect and data engineers to turn design into working platform.

• Strong Snowflake platform experience, not just querying it.
• Solid AWS and container experience, ideally OpenShift or Kubernetes.
• Real CI/CD experience applied to data workloads.
• An infrastructure-as-code mindset and a habit of automating the boring parts.
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot as part of your everyday workflow.

Bonus points for experience in a regulated or financial services setting.

We’re hedgehog lab, a digital product and engineering consultancy. For nearly 20 years we’ve embedded engineers inside the teams of well-known organisations in regulated, high-trust sectors, from financial services to the public sector.

We’re a certified B Corp.

We’re also serious about AI-assisted engineering. We’ve built our own agentic tooling and cut time-to-merge by around 60% on recent work, and our people get to use that on real projects.
