Data Engineer | Azure | Databricks | Hybrid, largely remote
A mission-led organisation in the middle of a major data and technology transformation is building out its data engineering capability and hiring two Data Engineers to help shape the enterprise data platform from the ground up.
This is a genuine build role. You will design and run the pipelines, integrations and curated datasets that power reporting, analytics and decision‑making across the business, working alongside data analysts, architects and application engineers in a modern Azure environment.
What you will be doing
- Building and maintaining batch and event-driven data pipelines within the enterprise data lake
- Developing curated datasets and data marts aligned to the logical data model
- Translating business and technical requirements into scalable ingestion and transformation solutions
- Maintaining data lineage, metadata and contributions to the data catalogue
- Working to modern engineering standards: CI/CD, automated testing, clean code
- Providing L3 support for data platform services where needed
What we are looking for
- Strong hands‑on Python (including PySpark) and SQL
- Real experience building data lakes and ingestion pipelines on Azure
- Event-driven or integration-based data solutions across enterprise systems
- Solid grounding in data governance, lineage and quality
- Comfortable in agile delivery (Scrum) and explaining data concepts to non-technical audiences
What is on offer
- Salary £55,000 to £66,000 depending on experience
- Hybrid working, largely remote, with occasional on-site days in the Bradford area (as little as once or twice a month for the right remote candidate)
- The chance to help build a data platform rather than just maintain one, inside a sizeable transformation programme
