Are you ready to stop maintaining legacy systems and start building something that really matters? Our client is seeking a Senior Data Engineer who wants to own, design, and deliver at scale.

You will be involved: -

  • Set the direction for our data architecture and strategy, with real ownership from day one
  • Build and optimise pipelines that handle everything from government datasets to live property feeds
  • Architect systems that support AI model training, scoring, and predictive analytics
  • Partner with product and commercial leaders to translate market dynamics into data-driven solutions
  • Champion best practice in governance, quality, and observability
  • Mentor the team and elevate our engineering culture

What you bring

  • 7+ years of data engineering experience, including time in senior or lead roles
  • Deep expertise with Microsoft Azure data services (Data Factory, Synapse, Event Hubs, etc.)
  • Strong knowledge of machine learning data pipelines, feature engineering, and Databricks
  • Hands-on skills with Python or .NET for building and integrating services
  • A track record of building high-scale, high-quality data systems that drive real outcomes

Why join our client?

  • Make a tangible impact in a profitable, fast-growing start-up
  • Freedom to shape our data platform from the ground up
  • Flexible, remote-friendly work environment
  • A culture built on learning, inclusivity, and making bold ideas happen
