Salary: £85,000 - £95,000 + discretionary stretch bonus of up to 35%
I'm working with an established, commercially successful business that's investing in a significant modernisation of its data platform, moving from Azure Synapse to Microsoft Fabric.
This is a great opportunity for a hands-on Senior Data Engineer who wants to take genuine ownership of a data platform, influence its future direction and play a key role in building a more scalable, governed and modern data environment.
The business already has a well-established Azure data estate, so this isn't about starting from scratch. The challenge is to evolve what's there, introduce stronger engineering practices and help deliver a successful migration to Microsoft Fabric without disrupting existing business-critical data services.
What you'll be doing:
- Taking ownership of existing Azure data pipelines and supporting the migration from Synapse to Microsoft Fabric.
- Working closely with an incoming Platform Architect to establish engineering best practices, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code and robust development environments.
- Improving data governance, quality, monitoring and the overall reliability of the platform.
- Balancing ongoing data engineering and operational responsibilities with a major platform transformation.
- Helping shape the technical direction of the data platform, with opportunities to support and mentor additional engineers as the team grows.
What I'm looking for:
- Strong hands-on data engineering experience across the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, particularly Azure Synapse, ADF and SQL.
- Commercial exposure to Microsoft Fabric. You don't need to have spent years working exclusively with it.
- Experience delivering data platform migrations, ideally including parallel running, testing and validation.
- Experience with CI/CD, Git and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Bicep).
- A collaborative, pragmatic engineer who enjoys solving problems, taking ownership and working closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Why is this interesting?
You'll be joining at a pivotal point in the business's data journey, with the chance to take long-term ownership of the platform and work alongside experienced specialists to establish modern engineering standards.
It's a role offering a genuine mix of hands-on delivery, technical influence and longer-term platform development.
If you're a strong Azure Data Engineer who's been building experience with Microsoft Fabric and wants an opportunity with real ownership and influence, I'd be keen to have a conversation.
Drop me a message or get in touch to find out more.
