Senior Data Engineer

Job description

Senior Data Engineer (Microsoft Fabric)

London (1–2 days a week onsite)

£65,000 – £85,000

The Role

This is a hands-on senior data engineering role focused on building modern data platforms from scratch using Microsoft Fabric and cloud technologies.

You’ll be joining a growing data team working across a range of client projects, helping organisations move from underutilised data to scalable, insight-driven platforms.

The work is varied and delivery-focused, typically across 8–12 week projects covering discovery, proof of concept, and full implementation.

This isn’t a role where you’ll be maintaining legacy systems — you’ll be designing and building solutions, shaping technical direction, and working closely with stakeholders to solve real business problems.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and building data platforms from the ground up using Fabric and cloud technologies
• Developing Python-based data pipelines and integrating multiple data sources
• Working across the full lifecycle: discovery → POC → delivery
• Supporting data science and predictive modelling use cases
• Engaging directly with stakeholders to understand requirements and shape solutions

What They’re Looking For

• Strong experience in data engineering with hands-on delivery
• Solid Python skills for building data pipelines
• Experience working in cloud environments (Azure, Fabric, AWS, etc.)
• Experience building or contributing to greenfield data platforms
• Comfortable working with stakeholders and translating business needs into technical solutions
• Someone who enjoys taking ownership and contributing ideas, not just delivering tasks

The Environment

• Small, growing data team (currently ~15, scaling to ~35)
• High ownership and autonomy — real opportunity to influence direction
• Collaborative culture with a strong focus on solving problems properly
• Varied project work across sectors including social housing and insurance

Why This Role

• Greenfield builds — not maintenance work
• Opportunity to shape how data solutions are designed and delivered
• Work across multiple projects and industries
• Strong balance of hands-on engineering and influence
• Clear growth trajectory within a scaling team

Salary for this role is going upto £85,000 + Benefits, they're based in the centre of London with people coming into the office 2 days a week.
