Senior Data Engineer - Make an Impact
About Us
We're driving a major transformation in data and analytics, and we need a Senior Data Engineer who can do more than just build pipelines - someone who can demonstrate real impact, influence stakeholders, and help shape the future of our data platform.
Why This Role Exists
This is an opportunity for an experienced data engineer r and an opportunity to grow into a Principal-level role within 2-3 years. You'll join a small, ambitious team with high visibility across the business, working on modernisation projects that will redefine how we use data.
What We're Looking For

• Impact-Driven Mindset: We want someone who can clearly articulate the difference they've made in previous roles - not just list tasks. Show us how you improved processes, accelerated insights, or drove strategic decisions.
• Technical Expertise:
• Essential: Strong experience with Microsoft Fabric or Databricks at a good level.
• Python Proficiency: Advanced coding skills for building robust, scalable solutions.
• Strong SQL and data modelling (relational and dimensional).
• Modern Data Engineering: Proven ability to design and deliver scalable solutions using modern architectures (lakehouse, medallion, warehouse-first).
• Stakeholder Engagement: Ability to influence and collaborate with business leaders, translating technical solutions into measurable business outcomes.
• Growth Potential: Comfortable mentoring junior engineers and keen to develop into a leadership role.
• Mindset: Curious, proactive, and passionate about turning data into tangible business value.

What You'll Do

• Drive the evolution of our data platform using Microsoft Fabric and modern engineering practices.
• Build and optimise data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and modelling.
• Support migration from legacy systems (e.g., Synapse) to modern architectures.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure solutions deliver real business impact.
• Contribute to innovation projects, including AI integration and advanced analytics.

Why Join Us

• A small, supportive team with big ambitions.
• High visibility and the chance to make a real difference.
• Opportunity to shape modern data capabilities from the ground up.
• Flexible working (remote with quarterly meet-ups).

What Success Looks Like

• You can evidence impact: cost savings, efficiency gains, improved decision-making, or accelerated delivery timelines.
• You're trusted by stakeholders and seen as a partner who drives change.
• You bring clarity and simplicity to complex data challenges.

**Please note you MUST have Python and Microsoft Fabric experience**
