Senior Data Engineer 

My client is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join their expanding data team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative, insight-driven environment and is passionate about leveraging data to deliver tangible business value.

This is not a role for someone just moving data from A to B with Python — it’s for someone who understands how to model, optimise, and apply data to support better business decisions.

Key Experience Required:

Expertise in SQL Server (approx. 75% of the role) including performance tuning, data warehousing, and reporting.

Experience with AWS data services (approx. 25%), particularly RDS, S3, Lambda, EventBridge, and building data pipelines in cloud-native environments.

Proven delivery of dimensional/Kimball data models in collaboration with Data Analysts.

Strong proficiency with Power BI, including performance optimisation and deployment strategies.

Hands-on experience with Python for automation and data transformation (not just file handling).

Understanding and experience of Data Governance frameworks and implementation.

Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and source control for reports and analytics.

Bonus: Familiarity with SageMaker or similar ML/predictive analytics platforms.

We're looking for someone who:

Thinks like a data user, not just a data builder – with a strong sense of how to deliver real-world business outcomes.

Is confident shaping and optimising data for analytical consumption.

Collaborates well with analysts, product owners, and stakeholders to translate problems into solutions.

Why Join?

Be part of a growing, innovation-led organisation committed to building intelligent, insight-driven systems.

Access excellent benefits including hybrid working, on-site gym, CSR days, birthday leave, and more.

Contribute to a high-impact, forward-looking data strategy with genuine business engagement.

Hybrid working policy: This role is classed as hybrid, with the expectation of just one day per month/quarter in the Manchester office.

Interested? Apply now to be part of a team where your work directly drives smarter decisions and impactful outcomes.
