Data Engineer (Contract)

We need Data Engineers to build the pipelines that move a large regulated UK organisation's data onto Snowflake. It's a high-scale environment, and this is where most of the delivery happens, so we're hiring more than one.

What you'll do:

• Build and maintain data pipelines feeding Snowflake.
• Model and transform data with dbt.
• Work with streaming data through Kafka.
• Write clean, tested Python and SQL that other people can rely on.

• Strong Python and SQL.
• Hands-on dbt experience.
• Real pipeline development experience with Snowflake.
• Exposure to Kafka or event streaming.
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot as part of your everyday workflow.

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.
