We’re excited to be hiring a Senior Data Engineer for a financial services company undergoing a major data transformation. This is a pivotal, high-impact role, offering the opportunity to lead the modernisation of their data infrastructure and define the future of their data strategy.

Why Join?
• Be the first Senior Data Engineer, shaping the company’s data future.
• Transition legacy systems to a cutting-edge data platform.

Your Role
• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and infrastructure.
• Guide tool selection for optimal performance.
• Establish robust data quality and integrity standards, ensuring accurate, reliable data.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions.

What We’re Looking For
• Extensive experience in cloud-based data engineering.
• Hands-on expertise with ETL/ELT processes, data modelling, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency with data warehouse solutions (BigQuery, Snowflake, or Redshift).
• Knowledge of workflow automation (Airflow, DBT, Luigi) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi).
• Strong communication skills to engage both technical and non-technical teams.
