Salary: £65,000-£80,000 + benefits
We're partnering with a fast-growing, ambitious business that's investing heavily in its data capability and looking for a Senior Data Engineer to take ownership of its modern data platform.
This is a rare opportunity to join a business where data is central to decision-making and where you'll have genuine influence over the technology, architecture, and future direction of the platform. Rather than inheriting a rigid environment, you'll be empowered to improve, optimise and shape the way data engineering is delivered.
Tech Stack
- Snowflake
- AWS
- Python
- SQL
- SQLMesh / dbt
- BigQuery
Why This Role?
- Real ownership of an established cloud data platform
- Significant influence on technical direction and best practice
- Opportunity to work closely with Product, Engineering and business stakeholders
- A fast-paced, collaborative environment where your impact is visible
- Clear opportunity to develop leadership responsibilities as the data function grows
- Freedom to help shape the role around your strengths and career ambitions
This is an opportunity to go beyond day-to-day engineering. You'll have the autonomy to influence architecture, improve the platform, work closely with stakeholders across the business, and play a key role in building out the data capability as it grows.
Perfect for someone who enjoys ownership, wants greater leadership exposure, and is looking for a role that can evolve with their ambitions.
