You'll ideally have: * Around 3+ years' experience in Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure or Data Platform Engineering. * Strong Terraform / Infrastructure-as-Code experience - we're looking for someone who really knows their Terraform. * Strong hands-on Azure experience. * Around 1-2+ years of Snowflake experience, ideally working with the platform itself rather than simply developing applications on Snowflake. * Experience with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD tooling. * Experience with Azure data services such as Data Factory and Azure Storage/Data Lake. * Scripting experience with Python, PowerShell or Bash. * A genuine interest in automation, self-service and DevOps. * A relevant HashiCorp Terraform certification would be great, but strong demonstrable Terraform expertise is equally important. The kind of person we're looking for You don't need to be a manager or have a big leadership background. We're much more interested in someone who is a solid hands-on engineer who likes getting into the detail, figuring things out and improving how things work. If you're a Snowflake administrator who has strong development/IaC skills, a DevOps engineer moving into data platforms, or a Data Engineer who has developed a strong platform engineering skillset, we'd be interested in speaking with you. ## Description This full time Data Platform Engineer position in London sits with ed Resourcing Ltd, paying £70,000 to £80,000 annually plus a 10% bonus and benefits. The successful candidate manages and evolves a complex Snowflake and Azure ecosystem, moving away from traditional pipeline construction towards infrastructure, automation and platform engineering. Responsibilities cover building self-service capabilities, automating provisioning, and supporting teams consuming the platform. As the team shifts to a DevOps model, strong technical problem-solving and hands-on infrastructure skills prove essential. Applicants should demonstrate experience with Snowflake, Azure, automation tooling and platform support, alongside a proactive approach to improving systems and resolving challenges within a collaborative engineering function., We're looking for a hands-on Data Platform Engineer who enjoys getting stuck into infrastructure, automation and platform engineering. This isn't a traditional Data Engineering role where you'll spend your time building data pipelines or applications. Instead, you'll be working on the platform underneath the data, helping manage and evolve a complex Snowflake and Azure ecosystem, building self-service capabilities and automating the way teams provision and use the platform. The team is increasingly moving towards a DevOps / platform engineering model, so we're looking for someone who enjoys solving technical problems, improving things and getting hands-on. What you'll be doing * Managing and developing the Snowflake platform and wider data platform ecosystem. * Building self-service capabilities that make life easier for engineering and data teams. * Designing and maintaining Terraform Infrastructure-as-Code. * Automating platform provisioning and operational processes. * Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions. * Working with Azure data services, including Data Factory, Storage/Data Lake and emerging AI services. * Improving platform reliability, monitoring and observability. * Troubleshooting infrastructure and platform issues. * Working closely with engineers, architects and data teams to improve the platform. * Helping drive engineering standards and best practice from within the team. ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
