## Description

We're recruiting for an experience Data Engineer to join an established organisation at the start of a significant technology transformation.

The environment is heavily Microsoft-focused, including Azure Data Factory, Logic Apps, Functions and APIs. There's also an existing SQL-based on-premise data warehouse which needs to evolve towards a modern cloud data platform, with technologies such as Microsoft Fabric and Snowflake being considered., We are particularly invested in Neurodiversity inclusion and offer reasonable adjustments in the interview process. Reasonable adjustments are changes that we can make in the interview process if your disability puts you at a disadvantage compared with others who are not disabled. If you would benefit from a reasonable adjustment in your interview process, please call or email one of our recruiters.
