We’re supporting a fast-growing digital business undergoing a major data transformation, and they’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to spearhead the shift from a legacy analytics platform to a scalable, future‑ready modern data stack. This role sits right at the heart of the company’s growth strategy—turning data from an operational burden into a high-value product capability that unlocks predictive analytics, AI, and new commercial opportunities.

This is a genuinely pivotal hire: you’ll architect the new stack, rebuild the foundations, and shape how data powers the business for years to come.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing and implementing the end‑to‑end modern data architecture (Fivetran → Snowflake → dbt → Tableau).
• Building robust, automated data pipelines with strong governance and observability.
• Establishing a unified data warehouse to support performance, creative, and operational data.
• Partnering closely with analytics, product, and technology teams to scale predictive modelling and AI initiatives.
• Leading the migration away from Datorama and overseeing knowledge transfer to internal teams.
• Acting as the strategic engineering voice ensuring performance, scalability, security, and long‑term resiliency.

Experience & Skills my client are looking for:

• Proven experience with ingestion tools such as Fivetran, Airbyte, Stitch, or Rivery.
• Experience in cloud data warehousing—Snowflake preferred (Big Query or Redshift also relevant).
• Strong dbt experience for modelling, testing, documentation, and best practices.
• Hands‑on work with visualisation platforms like Tableau.
• SQL experience, with solid Python for orchestration and automation.
• A strategic mindset with a hands‑on, delivery‑focused approach—someone who builds fast, iterates, and drives outcomes.
• 27 days holiday + BHs.
• Private medical.
• Birthday off.
• Permanent Health Insurance.
• Life assurance x4 salary.
• + many more such as gym membership, childcare, wedding gifts, & events.
