Senior Data Engineer

This is a hands-on senior individual contributor position with no line management responsibilities, ideally suited to an experienced Data Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, taking ownership of delivery and helping improve engineering standards and data platforms.

You will design, build and maintain scalable data solutions across Azure, SQL and Python, working on production data pipelines, data warehousing, modelling, platform performance and data quality. You will also contribute to technical design decisions and the continued evolution of the wider data platform.

We are looking for strong experience across:

• Microsoft Azure data technologies
• Advanced SQL, including optimisation and performance tuning
• Python for data pipelines, automation and integrations
• Designing and supporting production data pipelines and data warehouses
• Data modelling and scalable data architecture
• Data quality, validation, monitoring and observability
• Git, code reviews, automated testing and CI/CD
• Troubleshooting complex data and production issues
• Working independently and taking ownership of technical delivery

You should be comfortable working with inconsistent upstream data, identifying root causes and implementing practical solutions to improve data integrity, reliability and quality. Experience with automated validation approaches using SQL/Python or technologies such as Great Expectations or dbt tests would be particularly relevant.

Alongside hands-on delivery, you will have the opportunity to influence engineering standards, contribute to platform improvements and share your expertise with other engineers and analysts - without moving away from the technical work.
