Data Engineer

Data Engineer | Remote (1-2 days/month on-site in London) | Inside IR35 | £475 - £525 p/day | 1+ Month Contract | Databricks/Azure

We're looking for an experienced Data Engineer (contract) to provide short-term cover. This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role, stepping in to support several business-critical projects.

You'll work through a prioritised backlog of well-scoped engineering tasks within a Databricks on Azure environment, requiring minimal handholding and little deep business context to get moving. You'll work closely with the client's existing Data Engineer as your main day-to-day point of contact, with reporting into the Head of Data. This is a remote role, with the expectation of getting on-site in London once or twice a month.

Key responsibilities:

• Build, maintain and optimise data pipelines within Databricks on Azure.
• Pick up and deliver against an existing, prioritised list of data engineering tasks.
• Work independently on well-defined technical tasks with limited business context required.
• Collaborate closely with the existing Data Engineer and report progress to the Head of Data.
• Support wider data projects and initiatives as priorities evolve.

Key skills:

• Strong, demonstrable experience with Databricks and the Azure data stack.
• Solid general data engineering fundamentals (pipeline design, data modelling, orchestration, performance/cost optimisation, testing).
• Able to work autonomously and get up to speed quickly with minimal onboarding.
• Strong communicator, easy to work with day-to-day - team fit is important given the close daily collaboration required.
• Financial services / wealth management experience is a plus but not essential.

If this sounds like a good fit, apply now!
