Data Engineer - Stevenage- Hybrid- Up to £70K
We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join a high-profile programme delivering one of the largest data migration projects of its kind in the UK. This is a unique opportunity to work on a nationally significant initiative that will transform how data is managed and accessed across the several organisations.
The successful candidate must be eligible for security clearance due to the sensitive nature of the project.
In this role, you will analyse existing data structures and design robust migration strategies to move complex datasets to cloud environments. You will develop scripts and automated processes for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL), ensuring data quality and integrity throughout the migration process. Working closely with business users and IT teams, you will plan, coordinate, and execute migrations within strict timelines, troubleshoot issues promptly, and align processes with organisational goals and regulatory standards.
You will bring expert-level SQL skills for complex query development, performance tuning, and indexing strategies, enabling accurate and efficient migration from on-premises databases such as SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and NoSQL to AWS cloud. Strong knowledge of ETL processes is essential, including experience with tools such as Talend, Informatica, Matillion, Pentaho, MuleSoft, Boomi, or scripting languages like Python, PySpark, and SQL. A solid understanding of data warehousing and modelling techniques, including Star and Snowflake schemas, is required. Ideally you will also have a comprehensive knowledge of AWS glue.
To succeed, you will demonstrate proven experience in data engineering, data migration, and ETL development, as well as strong analytical skills to assess data quality, resolve inconsistencies, and manage end-to-end migration projects. Your ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensure compliance, and deliver projects on time will be key to your success.
In return receive £70,000 depending on experience as well as an excellent benefits package and 3 days working from their modern office based in Stevenage.
