Senior Data Engineer

We work with some of the UK’s biggest companies and government departments to provide a pragmatic approach to technology, delivering bespoke software solutions and expert advice. Our data engineers help clients make the best use of their data by building data platforms and pipelines that support diverse data & analytics solutions, including data science and AI. They build data lakes and warehouses, create processes to access operational data, and transform siloed datasets into integrated data models that inform business performance and ML model training.
